The front desk staff was great. The location of the hotel is less than ideal—overlooking a highway in a pretty glum part of town with nothing nearby. We stayed there because it was a 20 min walk to Xavier. But the walk is pretty ugly so nothing to see. Also no breakfast included. And they don’t clean the rooms daily, which is fine but usually if you ask for certain things housekeeping will oblige. We asked to have new towels, trash taken out and bed made—just made not new linen— and they did everything but make the bed. I guess the thought it wasn’t important. All in all a pretty mediocre experience. We should have stayed someplace different like the Hampton Inn, in a place with things going on around it.

The ordered breakfast was just OK. Fruit options were sparse and the fresh fruit was the same cut cantelope for 3 days and tasted and likely was spoiled. Also, my car window was smashed and broken into while parked in the parking garage, which I was told to park in due to now surface spots in front of the hotel were available. It's 4 days later and I still don't have the police report, despite asking for it 3 times, and gave my email address. I will need it to file a report with my insurance because the cost of the repair is more than my deductible. The manager was nice, but I still don't have the police report. The staff were nice and sympathetic to what happened, and appreciated the discount for my inconvenience, but no follow through.

breakfast options were limited, which you had to pay for @$15 per person ( not worth it). Other than that the staff was good- no real complaints. Service was good ✅ very clean✅ parking✅ (someone broke into 2 cars the morning before we got there but we had no problems, so park at your own risk). Bed-average (not typical Hilton quality but ok)☑️ area is a little shady but it was the only hotel that was affordable and close enough to UC. I would recommend if you need a hotel within the area.

I was in town with a friend for a concert. I wasn't sure what hotel I was really looking for, or what the best option would be. I saw the affordability and the distance of the hotel to the stadium and it was a good fit for us. The staff were helpful in answering my questions before arriving. I had asked if there was a fridge included in the room as the person I was traveling with is breast feeding and we didn't want to dump her supply. They were very accomodating in making sure she had what she needed. Area around the hotel felt safe, the parking garage with an elevator directly to the lobby was very convenient. Staff were friendly and quick to check us in. Room was clean and comfortable. Only wish we had was to have body soap and hand soap. We only were provided shampoo, conditioner, and face soap, but we made do.

The staff was very friendly. However the room condition was average. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut fully, a piece was missing from the wall, there was no coffee in the room (only tea, coffee had not been restocked)…minor things but for the cost, I was surprised. Also no coffee downstairs for guests on Sunday at 11am.

Upon checking in, I found the bathroom in my room to be unclean. When I reached out to Zack for assistance, I was met with a rather dismissive attitude. He informed me that housekeeping had already left for the day and would not be able to clean the bathroom until the next morning. Unfortunately, he did not offer any alternatives, such as sending someone to address the issue right away or moving me to another room, and he mentioned he had other priorities to attend to. This was particularly frustrating after a long day of travel.

I would like to commend two staff members for their exceptional service. Jas at the front desk noticed my distress and took the initiative to clean my room herself, which I greatly appreciated. Additionally, Robin from the night shift took steps to elevate the situation and ensure I received the assistance I needed.

When we arrived, the beds were not made and the shower had not been cleaned. There was one bed with sheets that needed changing and one bed with no sheets what so ever. There was hair on the shiwer walls and on a dirty wash clothe. It looked as if they had stopped cleaning halfway through. The morning kitchen staff didnt seem to know what he was doing or how to do it. The omelets were over cooked and had so much cheese in it that i had to remove half of it. The pancakes were not even edible. The bacon had so much grease on it that I had to wipe my mouth off on the 1st piece. Poor guy was sweating profusely. But the staff at the front desk were awesome. The lady who checked us in comped our dinner for the inconvenience. Just wish the food had been better.

My daughter was attending a mixer and college visit at Xavier that required us to spend the night. This was a fantastic option for us. We were a 4 minute drive to campus. I wish there were more local places to eat around the hotel but, since there weren’t any good breakfast options between the hotel and campus, we ate at the hotel. It was $13 per person but it was a made to order breakfast and the food was good. I recommend this hotel for any visiting parent, for sure.

Paid too much. Mediocre at best.

I was put into a smaller room than booked. It didn’t have the separate seating area and was small. Hair in the shower and on the toilet. Looked like sheets on bed were not changed so I slept in the other bed. I overplaid for this room and will not stay at this hotel again. It is such a pain to report and get a resolution from Hotels.com when there is an issue so I didn’t bother and since the hotel was full according to the front desk I didn’t ask for another room. It would have just made it worse to have to move my bags given I was exhausted from traveling.

I was very disappointed in the area. No where around to walk and explore. In the early evening i went downstairs and asked for a glass of white wine. My only choice was cavit that the bartendet said “I just put in the refrigerator”
i said no thanks, mainly becauae Cavit gives me a headache. I had water.
The next day when i was heading to a funeral, the small matket area had no mints or gum. She said “we are out”.
I blame myself for location, i should have researched it, but the other atuff was just slack.
