Hotel was pretty nice and clean. However the staff/manager Marybeth was horrible. 15 minutes before the rooftop bar was closing, she went around to multiple tables saying “I need you to leave my bar now!” Giving multiple people attitude and when one person stood up for their table calling out how rude she was, she got in their face!! Very unprofessional!

Ideal location! View was amazing and if you’re a sports fan you’ll love the convenience of walking out of the lobby doors and crossing the street to the Cincinnati Reds Stadium. The rooftop bar was one of the best rooftop bars I have been on! Spectacular views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati. Super cool experience to sit out on rooftop bar during a Cincinnati Reds Game!! I highly recommend the AC Hotel to anyone planning a visit to Cincinnati.

I've been waiting to stay at this location for over a year and an opportunity came to where I was able to make it happen and it was well worth the wait! There’s plenty to do in a safe environment plus the valet parking was the cherry on top!

Beyond disappointed

Traveled for Reds Opening weekend with our children. Laid down to go to sleep only to realize the mattress was soaked with urine. We were moved to a different room which was not cleaned very well, the toilet had fecal matter everywhere. Generally run down and not well kept.

We stayed during Reds Opening Day. We knew it would be busy, but had no idea how busy. We still enjoyed our stay and all of the festivities. Beautiful rooftop view! Valet parking! A must on a busy day in the city! Directly across from the Great American Ballpark Stadium. Walking distance to many local restaurants and bars. We will stay here again.

This was an amazing property my husband and I stayed at while we were in town for a concert. We really enjoyed the convenience of the location to bars and restaurants and really anything you need access to. You have a liquor store and a Walgreens right up the street also. No need to Uber unless you need to get across town.
