21C Cincinnati is in a prime location, the staff was wonderful, the price was ok since we get to see free art , however
Pros:

This property was in an excellent location for why we were in Cincinnati.

Cons:

The smell in the elevator, hallways and downstairs was putrid. Made us feel sick
Once we made it to our room we were fine. The rooms are outdated with bad pillows

Nice people, great service, but one very cold room.
Pros:

I love the tiles! The service was great. Brad for the win! We had no heat and the phone wouldn’t call the front desk, but he was amazing!

Cons:

No heat in one of rooms! We slept in our coats. Just glad it wasn’t the room my 85 year old mom was in.

It was fine for a short overnight stay. Adequate but nothing special
Pros:

The locations proximity to the theater
The beds were comfortable and it was very quiet

Cons:

It seemed a little overpriced for the amenities. No place to get a late night snack so a
Microwave and fridge would be nice (There was not a mini bar as advertised The lighting was very dim. And the TV had limited free stations we could get to work

The fitness center is great. A good amount of equipment. The first floor restaurant is very good. The modern art theme is very fun and interesting.

Cons:

The bedside clock didnt work. (I think the outlet was out?). There was an in-room espresso machine. (Which was great!). But they didnt refill the pods after the first night.
