A gem just north of Cincinnati

We enjoyed our two-night stay! This mid-century hotel has been lovingly updated and has a number of unique features such as a dramatic lobby with a glass elevator. The entire property was impeccably clean. Our room was large and quiet, with a very nice breakfast each morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

It is a family run property, so the staff was very friendly and personable. Our room was big. The king bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. I really liked the espresso machine. So much better than the standard hotel coffee. And everything was very clean. We were here for tennis, so a good night’s sleep was most important. Now for improvements: little things like torn curtain, some stains give the property a worn out look. Nevertheless I would stay here again, since the price was right.
