Overall, it was a great trip and location.
Pros:

The breakfast buffet and omelettes were not as good as usual at our other Embassy stays.

Cons:

The staff wasn’t the friendliest and the room could have been cleaner. I had to move from our first room due to a strong bad smell.

Wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Breakfast was great

Cons:

Room was not ready for check in 2 hours past the check in time which made us late to our function. Got to the room and smelled super musty.

It was ok.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Room was comfy.

Cons:

Evening snacks were pitiful. Potato chips were an insult. At least you did have some tomatoes and celery. I stayed there last year for the gymnastics meet. The Friday evening snacks were wonderful! But not this year. When I asked the waiter if there was another table of appetizers (last year they had several tables), he told me that if I wanted more, I would have to order it from the menu because this was a restaurant.
I also hate that there is not an easy way to unload your car.

Pros:

The staff helped me with the issues I was having and allowed me to move rooms.

Cons:

The room wasn't clean. There were stains on the sheets. The carpet smelled like it had been wet and not cleaned. The bathtub had hair coming out of the drain and there was scum at the bottom of the shower. There were flies in the room and it was just dirty. So disappointed.

Great location, subpar room
Pros:

Great view of Cincinnati, nice lobby, good breakfast, and pleasant staff. The 2nd floor room was disappointing. The rug was worn and ripped by the door as if a dog was trying to dig his way out of the room. There were also a few little ants in the bathroom that we had to squish. I will remember not to ever stay again in any hotel that allows pets.

Pros:

Location, staff, scenery.

Cons:

Over crowded on weekend, not enough food out, on weekends, it's a hotel but I was told I could not eat food in the lobby that I brought from outside as though I was not lodging there by a woman bartender, and not matching price when being force to relocate from blue ash due ro construction when I booked this trip months in advance.

Outdated, Good food.
Pros:

Night reception and morning breakfast were good. The wait staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Arrived around 6 PM and our room still wasn't ready. Waited an additional hour.
Overall the place had a dusty smell- can't quite pinpoint, but the air was so dry it was difficult to sleep. The room temperature was set and we could not adjust it.

Mixed feelings on this hotel
Pros:

Good location if want to be close to Cincinnati. The food and beverage staff were very kind, pleasant and helpful. . No complaints with front desk staff they were courteous and tried to assist us. Our disappointment was with housekeeping staff. Our room was not serviced over our 6 day stay despite us asking several times. We had to go to desk to obtain clean towels. We realize it was a holiday week but it's very disappointing to be promised to have the room attended to only to return and find nothing done. Very few towels available in pool area. We probably will not stay here again
