The ceiling mold over the shower was likely unsafe and unclean. I wouldn’t think that room would be rented out until repaired. I take prescription meds for allergies and woke up with a sore throat and hoarseness. I can’t rule out that didn’t play a role in my sickness.

Beautiful and unique hotel with a French quarter flair. Extremely friendly staff with easy check in. Hotel and room was exceptionally clean and the hotel lobby smell was amazing. Beds were very comfortable. If we are ever in the area, we will definitely stay here again

I will never stay here again. I booked this hotel to use the pool but the pool was closed. The couch and carpet was very nasty. The maid service did a horrible job with cleaning the rooms. The tub was not clean, non of the lights worked.

Room 219 had electrical issues which were a safety hazard. The lamps, nor light over the sink near the bathroom worked, and I was told that they could not be repaired because of electrical issues. I was told that on the morning of day 2, May 25, 2025. The water in sink was extremely slow to go down drain, there was no shower gel in bathroom. I asked for some shower gel and did not receive any at all. The one desk staff (male) advised that he was coming to room on May 24, 2025 to check lights, sink, and bring shower gel, but he never came to the room. I had to complain the next morning. I was also told that I’d receive a discount for my visit with limited lights in my room. I didn’t receive any discount whatsoever. Needless to say, the visit was not pleasant.

It appeared as if our room had not been completed. Toilet paper holder had one side-couldn’t use. Kuerig cups but no coffee maker. Door would not shut unless we put all our weight behind it. Disappointing

Could've been a better stay

I stayed for 2 nights with a friend who was visiting from the west coast. There were two beds in the room but only one was slept on. I noticed on the opposite bed a small dead bug on top of the comforter. Upon that discovery. I noticed that the curtains were torn and a sock was on the floor near the dining area. I didnt much rest on the 2nd night of being there. There was noise coning from the lobby by fellow guests. My first time ever visiting Cincinnati and wasn't very impressed with the hotel quality. I'll choose better the next time.
