Enjoyable and fun!

I stayed in a 21C in Louisville and found this location to be equally as delightful and playful. The front desk staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Our room was perfect. Will stay again.

Needs a facelift, kinda grubby

I live in Cincinnati and my besties from out of town came in for a night. I booked 21C, last time I was there several years ago it was so awesome. I was kind of embarrassed, the room was really run down, tub wouldn’t drain, same tray of food outside our neighbors door for two days. Beds were old and not comfortable. And the light switches and everything looked dirty.

Great Downtown Hotel

I really enjoyed this hotel. It was located close to everything I wanted to do in Cincinnati. I looked at the menu for the restaurant, and I did not appeal. It had a lot of fairly unusual items so we did not eat there. The valet was convenient and we mostly quick

This hotel used to be so nice and now it's becoming a dressed up motel 6 that happens to have an amazing gallery and restaurant. Why!? This was my favorite place to stay and send my friends.. Now the beds are hard, carpet dingy, room amenities are scant, light switches are filthy.. It's like they're giving up!

GREAT Unique Downtown Option!

We were looking for a place to stay within walking distance of Great American Ballpark and this hotel came up. It was an easy few block walk to the ballpark. While there are a couple of interesting food/drink options right by the hotel we passed on those to explore our hotel. A good nightcap from the bar that we could take with us as we explored. The first two floors are an art gallery that was small (it was undergoing some display changes) but interesting. We took our time leisurely strolling in a completely relaxed atmosphere. The hotel itself started with a very friendly and courteous check-in (all of the staff was so pleasant throughout our stay). The hotel room was clean and comfortable. The shower was extremely powerful (seriously it might strip paint) but I'd rather have that than the weak streams we've encountered before. Checkout was simple. Note that parking is either on your own (we parked in an underground lot behind the hotel for about 2/3 of valet) or valet. Also I will say that this feels like a very upscale place (fancy food, chocolate on the pillow, bourbon tasting, etc) but it was also down-to-earth in that there were several others staying there for the baseball game and everyone was pleasant. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here!! We definitely will again

Hotel ok, but a bit pricey for the quality!

The quality of friendliness when I arrived w/Valet Service was strained @ best. Their customer assistance attitude lacked. After check-out I was told bill would be emailed. Never received final copy from hotel or Hotels.com. Ended up being on phone a good 1/2 hr, getting the run around from AI support which was no help & finally got a live person to assist. Chances of me staying there again are slim @ best! Personal customer service is being lost thru AI. & My time is as valuable as any hotel's time especially when paying high $ for an o/n stay. Not very happy w/my experience. Seems I paid almost $300 to get a quality run around‼️

The hotel is a bit lacking in amenities and comfort for the price. For a couple we were given exactly 2 bath towels each day, the room lacks easy countertops or storage, the minibar was broken and had water inside along the bottom, the conditioner bottle was empty (had not been refilled), and there was a strange smell in our room. But the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was very large, and the location was good for our needs. The art was very good (I work in the visual arts) and definitely the nicest component of the hotel.

Was pretty disappointed in the lack of bathroom amenities. The bottle of hand soap was completely gone & so was the body wash. We checked in later after a Reds game, so it wasn’t convenient to call housekeeping to restock at 10 at night.
