We had a great stay here and really enjoyed our interactions with the staff. They were always friendly and helpful and would provide knowledgeable advice about the area. There are plenty of eating places within a one mile walking distance and we even walked over the suspension bridge into Cincinnati.

I was a bit disappointed in the cleanliness of the room. Not sure the vacuum had been run. The bathroom was most concerning - quite obvious the tub/shower had not been cleaned as there was hair everywhere. The staff at the desk were extremely friendly and helpful. Pool deck was also very dirty.
