I will never stay here again based on this experience.
Pros:

The room was nice. Service was friendly.

Cons:

Room wasn't ready at check-in time, I intially had to park my own car, valet was that backed up. The bathroom mirror light did NOT work, so the bathroom was very poorly llight by the two overhead llights. Valet coming back to the hotel had an attitude that "we will be very busy in the morning" like he was trying to talk us out of using their service.

Pros:

Very nice. Great location.

Cons:

Shower door was off track. Someone could have gotten hurt if they would have leaned on it. They did fix it though. I was surprised to find it like that in the first place

The front desk staff is exceptional, especially Jontae Williams!
Pros:

Location is good. I am familiar with the area, someone not familiar might find it a bit too close to business district. Not any shopping close or markets or museums.

Cons:

The furniture and carpets are getting a bit tattered.

Bed was comfortable but almost felt like you could not get lighting in the bathroom.
Pros:

He location to everything.

Cons:

Considering this is an upper end hotel getting double charged for my stay when it was paid in full 5 days prior to my stay and now having to wait 7 days because they can’t move forward with the refund on the double charge then knowing it takes 10 days to process is very unprofessional for a business in my opinion. Most likely will never stay at this hotel again considering I paid 100 for parking for two nights never received a call from the manager. To me seems they do not really care about a mistake that’s happened on the hotels end.

It was good for the rate compared to other hotels, but was still overpriced for what the bathroom and parking conditions
Pros:

We were close to a lot of places & events.

Cons:

Our bathroom was not clean, bathroom trash still had old trash from someone else and for what we paid for valet the wait was extremely long when we went to check out even over an hour before check out time.

We enjoyed our overnight visit to Cincinnati Ohio for a sporting event!
Pros:

Location was great for our event.Check in was efficient and friendly. Valet parking was convenient and reasonably priced considering the traffic at the time. We were disappointed in the on location restaurant. We wanted small bite after our ballgame. Wouldn't seat my husband and I because they had reservations coming in.My son and his friend did order carry out. Said it was expensive and probably microwave warmed up frozen foods. That was our only issue and not really the hotel.

Cons:

On site restaurant too busy to seat us with nobody in there. Food for take out was expensive and low quality. Lighting in room and bathroom was poor.
