I was hesitant about booking this hotel based on lots of negative reviews but we really enjoyed our time here. We had no issues with check in or check out and hotel stored our luggage our last day since we had a late flight.
Booked months ago when we found a cheap flight to Cincinnati for a long weekend. Used Hilton honors points (50000 per night) since the rates were thru the roof expensive. We had no idea it was the weekend of BLINK and no idea what BLINK even was so we kind of swerved into a really fun, activity packed setting.
Hotel location is 10/10. We walked north as far as Rhinegeist Brewing and Findlay Market and south thru the banks area, across the purple pedestrian bridge into Kentucky. The free trolley was circulating throughout the area; we just didn’t chance on it when we were headed places.
Took the cheap $1.50 2X airporter bus to and from CVG. The stop is very close to the hotel so very manageable and a fraction of the cost of an Uber.
We did receive an upgrade to a large corner room on the 29th floor which was nice and roomy with views over Fountain Square, Washington Park, the river etc. fall colors were beautiful.
Yes, room could use some TLC. Ledge on one side window was falling apart from the wall. Towels were thin. I probably would have been disappointed...I was hesitant about booking this hotel based on lots of negative reviews but we really enjoyed our time here.

Bar is gorgeous, service was attentive, nice beer selection, fun live musicians each night we were there (Friday and Saturday). Bar offered a happy hour from 4-6 the Friday we were there. $5 drafts. I asked about breakfast and learned buffet is $24:95 per person. We chose to eat at the nearby Hathaways Diner for far less.
I’d stay again if the price was right. More
