    “The shower was great. Bed height was great. Comfortable Chair w/footstool, lighting options were fantastic. In the lobby there were late night frozen food options, which we did not use but the selection was great. Good Idea!”

  • Look into the fire alarm pulling.

    “Nice room, good cleaning; the room was pretty cold, and air was fresh, we had a good sleep there; the Breakfast was good in general; the location is perfect; offside parking is 12.5 $ per day (very close, just a next building), there are also some more affordable options a little bit far away. In general, we enjoyed the stay, thank you very much!”

  • Need a bar or little food option when restaurant is closed bc location is rough for finding dinner after sundown.

    “Beautifully decorated voco in dt Cincy. The location was central. Yes, there is road noise if you are a light sleeper. ITEMS OF NOTE: Breakfast isn't worth $15.95. It is a dry buffett. Gorgeous espresso coffee machine at restaurant,but ran out of coffee beans on day 4. That really threw me because how does a hotel run out of coffee?? I also had to request my room to be serviced and I was staying 4 nights. I feel like that should have been done. The valet was fast and proficient.”
