We stay here every time we visit our daughter in Cincinnati. It’s a great place right off the bridge. The rooms are very clean and fresh. The breakfast is also very good. It’s not just a continental breakfast. You get eggs, sausage, gravy, pancakes as well as the basic breakfast fare. The staff is great and always super friendly and helpful too.
