Excellent experience! When I first walked in I was greeted by Christopher at the front desk He was so sweet and welcoming and had so much knowledge of the area He gave us great food suggestions and told me where to get the most for my money while shopping! Once he got us checked in we went to our room

Again, I was pleasantly surprised The room was was so clean! Everything looked new and smelled amazing! If you need an affordable night away from home, come here! You won’t regret it!!

I was looking around for a hotel for my 15th wedding anniversary, specifically for a jacuzzi suite It was a Saturday night, and every hotel was either booked or the room cost over $350 for one night Also most of them had very small jacuzzi tubs

I stumbled across a listing for LivINN, and I was a bit hesitant because the price looked a little too good to be true, but I took a risk It was a risk that paid off beautifully The hotel is lovely, very clean and very well maintained The staff was so friendly and courteous, and when I got to the room I was stunned It was so clean, roomy, and comfortable The tub was huge, filled very quickly, the jets were strong but not uncomfortable The location is very convenient, tons of dining and entertainment options just a couple minutes away I’m simply amazed that it was the most affordable, but also the nicest jacuzzi suite we have ever stayed in If you get the chance to stay, this is a hotel you can not beat, for a great price

Diane Lipski

We were part of the convention in the Sharonville convention center Choosing this hotel was a great choice We didn’t know that all we had to do was walk out the side door, skip 50ft and walk right in the door! Room was spacious, very neat and clean

Checking in staff was helpful and friendly when asked about places eat The pool was very cool and they had sides that opened up without door seating and a fire pit

So, let me start off by saying we travel

a lot I have three kids in tow It’s normally a get in and get out as fast as we can kind of thingThe room was nice Clean It was Very standardBUT, I can safely say that the best thing about this hotel, was the staff serving the breakfast The guys working behind the scenes They were SO helpful, asking what they could do to help us, asking my kids about our tripThey made this hotel stand out to me I really hope the management reads this review and takes a moment to recognize those guys especially the guy who looks like Forest Whitacre, who told me he is also a Baptist minister Bump that guy up to front desk He made me feel way more comfortable than anyone else there!

Just bypass this hotel completely I booked a room with two queen sized beds earlier today When I arrived at the hotel around 9pm there were none left

The front desk clerk tried to be accommodating by moving me to a suite In the suite, the toilet seat is broken and I guess the housekeeper decided the toilet didn’t need to be cleaned Apparently they didn’t think the floor needed to be vacuumed either because little black lint (hair?) balls everywhere I will not book at a Hyatt property again

Mr Sparks

When I first arrived to the hotel I was very confused not being able to find a check-in desk then I realized that you check in at their Cafe counter which was different than I’m used to but okay no big deal My room was clean and modern with a couch, desk area and large TV The bathroom was the size of a small walk-in closet you are unable to close the bathroom door when you’re in the bathroom because there’s just not enough room unless you stand on the toilet

But not a big deal I was the only one staying in the room my real issue is with housekeeping housekeeping is non-existent I stayed here for a week and not once my room got cleaned even though I requested it twice The second time I requested house cleaning the kid at the front desk inform me that housekeeping decides what rooms get cleaned and don’t get cleaned He stated “It’s out of my control Im unable to tell them what rooms get clean it’s on their terms only ” But the young kid at the front desk did give me some towels that I could take up to my room If you stay at this hotel be careful coming in through the side door as you get rained on by all the condensation dripping from all the air conditioning units that come dripping down right over the doorway over the entrance not sure why they can’t just put some kind of drain pipe to offset this so you don’t get your clothes soaking wet Other than these issues the area seem nice safe and no other real issues but management and their cleaning staff need to work on a few things this is the hospitality industry after all they need to provide a little more hospitality

Great experience We stay at double tree hotels fairly often with typically great results, this was was no exception Called to see if they had a room last minute after being turned away at the original hotel we had booked due to them not having any rooms available (3rd party websites overbooked them)

The staff and manager accommodated us extremely well for such a late check in Room was clean and nice Friendly staff, great stay overall Will skip the other places and just book here if we need to stay in the area again anytime soon

Matt Hotel

Came here for a baseball tournament Stayed 5 nights Rooms need renovations

Staff there are super great (Matthew, Will, Security guards, Bartender and breakfast waitress were exceptionally awesome)Pool is great Hot tub is downWe had a great time, I like the rooms set up, but it needs a Reno

Tina Boggs

We had a great experience with comfy bed, great staff, and excellent access The hotel is dated some BUT we had EVERYTHING we needed and hot water Rooms are spacious and loved having fridge and microwave in room

The cookies are always a treat!The only thing that iritated me was the baseball teams that stayed here as well The hotel can’t control them or their actions, but their coaches and parents SHOULD and didn’t Teens dropping the f bomb loudly multiple times in the lobby while talking to the parrot Mom’syelling at kids down the hall at 10 at nightcome on people!!!

Jamie Barker

The hotel was very beautifully decorated in the lobby area The staff was attentive to my family’s needs & prompt about resolving a minor issue with a remote control that likely just required new batteries The pool area was clean, comfortable & well maintained

The value for the money was the biggest selling point online We stayed in a King suite I loved having the option to close the bedroom door for privacy and/quiet time I would highly recommend staying at this location The property is beautiful and also well maintained My family will definitely be returning to this location soon

Thank you to Nikita, front desk TALENT, how exhibit amazing customer service!! She needs a raise and a promotion to be a part of the training staff!! While the room I selected is not the room I received, she jumped into action and came up with a workable resolution She was very professionalThe hotel is conveniently located 20 minutes from down town, and there are a lot of restaurants nearby

Be advised that a late night food run will require your patience, wait times can be up to 45 minutesEnjoy your stay!

Lisa Whiteley

The hotel was really nice

I really liked that the bedroom had a separate door from the livingroom/ kitchette and the bathroom was off the bedroom instead of being right next to the suite main door The breakfast was grab and go but was filling and delicious ( each bag had an apple, granola bar, and a muffin/danish) The bathroom had some cosmetic issues But overall very happy with our stay and would recommend

Sheena Williams

Im from out of town and rented the hotel They had roaches I haven’t seen a roach in real life since the 90’s

Not just one but the room had a family of roaches crawling all on the table and in the kitchen cabinet I walked into the rooms and they scattered all over across the table when I cut the light on I was so embarrassed because I had other family members rent the same hotel so we were in the same location I left immediately and the staff didn’t want to make eye contact and was pretty unbothered I was told that I would get a refund Fingers crossed

Have stayed multiple times

Staff is always very friendly, hot breakfast is fantastic The price is also goodPool is not great, but good enough for my familyThe 2 queen suites are better than the king, as the pull out is absolutely horribleEverything else is just okay and is all my family and I need for a hotel room Don’t expect anything amazing, but it’s clean and functional Like I said, I’ve stayed here multiple times and would stay again Because sometimes a 3 star is all you need

Shelly

First time staying there It was great Really clean, staff was nice, loved having hot coffee and condiments stocked

I would only make a few suggestions Include extra pillows, we only had 4 with a king bed and pullout sofa Cool the hallways, gym and elevator off, it was too hot Ask housekeeping to clear the dishwasher for the next guests I would return The layout of the room is nice and what is offered is awesome Very close to Top Golf Nice breakfast as well

A Kiko

Room was clean and staff welcoming and helpful Overall stay was wonderful and would stay again if in the areaTwo reasons for loss of star:DO NOT get a highway facing room if you are staying on Friday or Saturday nights

on ramp/highway is a drag stripPool could use checking more often It was well used the weekend of our stay and chemicals were clearly off (water very cloudy)

Corrie Peace

Diamond Tours took care of our accommodations booking us at Best Western Mason We went to the Creation Museum & Ark Encounter in KY, plus other attractions in the area We stayed 4 nights

There were over 30 of us in our group Check-in was flawless, bags delivered to our rooms (I think this was the bus company, but may have been motel staff, not sure of this) Rooms are spacious & very clean Yes, it’s a little dated, but that doesn’t really matter to me The beds and pillows were the most comfortable I’ve had in a motel room 4-star hotel quality I take my own pillow every time I travel b/c pillows are normally horrible & cheapnever used my pillow this trip, left it packed away The motel staff was exceptional!!!! They are very understaffed at no fault of their own, but the ones working work overtime and beyond No to mention, super nice, every single one of them!!! They were even extremely nice to and patient with a certain guest that absolutely did not deserve their nice-ness! There wasn’t any maid service during our stay (because of the short staff problemno one wants to work right now), however, if we needed anything, the staff did everything in their power to get it for us what we needed/wanted I would absolutely recommend Best Western Mason to anyone traveling near Cincinnati

Marie Kinietz

Such a weird experience I just wanted to pay for an extra night for a friend staying there Well— the front desk said they could not process the transaction right then/there, i had to submit some form

So the form was via email— they REQUIRED a photo front/back of my drivers license AND my credit card— I WAS SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS!! And don’t you know— within two hours of submitting that info, my bank called with fraud alerts SURE ENOUGH MY CARD WAS USED ONLINE FRAUDULENTLY 🤬🤬🤬 Of course i cannot PROVE they are responsible but — the fraud was right after sending the info via email, and when i called them they assured me they did not, but of course the email was NOT SECURE! I’m super frustrated and mad to be honest So now my driver’s license is floating around out there Yes I took care of getting a new credit card and was not responsible for fraud charges — BUT — this all should never have happened I’ve had to set up alerts with all three credit bureaus to be sure no one tries to use my ID to open other cards/accountsI am super super suspicious that the weird email requirement is wrong, a totally uncool business practice I do not recommend doing business at this hotel

Zachary Francis

The room (319) smelled like urine and when informed the staff didn’t do anything about it We had to go buy air freshener just to make the room habitable and when I was getting the cost of the supplies back at check out, it turned into a 15 minute argument with the manager over the fact that it’s not their responsibility to follow up on complaints, it’s the guest’s They claimed that the desk employee went up to our room shortly after we notified them which was around 02:00, but being that we were up until 04:30-0500ish and we never heard a single knock I find that hard to believe

And being that housekeeping never came in the morning either, clearly these kinds of complaints fall through the cracks Absolutely horrible establishment

Added some photos of the historic home (where breakfast is held – my wife would laugh because crooked photos are my thing) I will also add a few of the out side of the property shortly******************Well this is a review for Kirkwood but first I have to say that Hotels

com is really awful but… This place is awesome and the lady who owns it is greatI arrived with hotelcom reservations confirmation number and all Of course hotelcom had that all messed up and Kirkwood didn’t have the details and no empty rooms But she helped me get in contact with hotelcom (that is a nightmare) and I had a room elsewhere for the first night But… She welcomed me for breakfast on both nights even though I had to stay somewhere else the first night and she comped my room the second night I didn’t even really want her to do that cause she was so nice The property has been around for a while but that is part of the charm It is well kept and they have breakfast in a house built in 1799Charming place and great people Stop by to visit you won’t regret it

lena shomshin

Very clean and well-maintained rooms! No dingy walls or smells Very fresh and clean sheets and towels The breakfast room and selection — just wonderful

A great selection for every taste and preference The greenery around with the gazebo and the trail through the park is just a cherry on top So happy we took the chance on this unexpected spot Highly recommend

finla v

Clean, quite, no odor, no stains on blankets or towels, no broken funiture or fridge Keurig coffeemaker as a complimentary Standard double bed room was quite spacious for two people

Been to high end hotels that were way smaller and overpriced for the space they had Only problem was the construction site going on and near the property

After making a last minute decision to visit Cincinnati I booked my stay here for one night to visit with friends and family Christal was working the front desk and she was extremely professional, personable, and very helpful Christal assisted me with every request and I had many

Each trip to the front desk she was immediately available and helpful This type of customer service is very unusual, but desperately needed Christal is definitely a key member of the team If not, she can definitely lead a training in Customer Service! Customer service along with clean rooms will make any guest return From I first interaction with Christal I was pleased and impressed!

Christopher F

I absolutely love these rooms it felt like I was staying at a high end apartment love the bed The rooms have a Art Deco style to it you will love the room you will love the lay out do I love the cabinets the material they use the hotel itself even the lobby area is beautiful is very high end

This hotel looks better than some high end ones i have paid way more money for and had bad service So if you are in this area and you need a room definitely definitely definitely choose this place

Kimberly Hughes

We booked a room for a wedding we were attending, the first room was nasty it had some sort of bio fluid on the side of the bed and the room smell of feet, the 2nd room we were assigned was dirty after complaining about the 2nd room we had to clean it thank goodness we carry wipes and Lysol This hotel doesn’t have a daily cleaning or refreshing the rooms unless you have been there 3 to 4 days The only good point was the breakfast on Saturday; the attendant kept everything fresh and clean he was friendly and attentive, Sunday was a different story and I was glad to have left

If you are looking for a short stay this is not the place to be

The facilities were really clean The indoor pool was great for my family of seven Just 3 feet to 4 feet

Free breakfast until 9am And plenty of good restaurants nearby Kings Island is right next door Very convenient if you are going to hit the theme park or water park Jay takes the management of the place really seriously and will make sure your stay is clean and simple

Maranda Cobb

The bathroom we had was not clean I didn’t even want to stand in the shower without shoes The room had a weird (not good) smell

The air conditioner unit would not stay on and the room would get hot The bed was not comfortable It was firm and you could feel the springs The breakfast was average Overall, I will not be coming back

Dan Newman

We brought our 5 year old there mainly due to them having a pool We went out and bought new bathing suits for the stay One of the patrons broke the door leading into the pool room so we had to explain to our little girl that she wasn’t going to be swimming

That was very disappointing but understandable Breakfast is served between 6-9am and was VERY busy at 8:20am not making for an enjoyable experience Other then that The room was very nice and clean, the employees were helpful and friendly I wouldn’t be opposed to going back there in the future

Alissa Little

Just stayed this past weekend for a family reunion 7/23 The hotel was very nice

The only complaint was the rooms smelled a bit musty, but it didn’t bother me The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had, it was kept well stocked and there were plenty of options I would definitely stay here again I loved the soft pillows, can someone please tell me what brand of pillow it is because I would love to go buy one!

Jesse Baird

I have a hard time giving this hotel 3 stars On one hand it does great on all the things you’d expect from a Holiday Inn Express (decent rooms, pool, breakfast, etc), plus it actually has all the little things that are sometimes missing, like a working fan in the bathroom, doors that don’t slam, an A/C fan you can leave on all night for white noise, updated furniture, etcHowever, the one unexcusable issue that knocked it down two stars is the unmistakable and ever present smell of cigarette smoke

It is clear someone attempted to clean (or cover) it up, but it didn’t work The smell was pretty terrible in the hall and better, but still not great, in the room I rolled over in the bed, which probably puffed some air from a corner somewhere and I got a huge lung full Maybe I’m being too critical, but I just can’t accept this issue despite all the other things this hotel did well The good news is this is probably fixable with a good thorough cleaningThanks for the good stay!!Update – upon further reflection, 3 stars was too harsh, so bumping to 4 Would have been 5 without the smoke smell

Matt Sfura

Booked 3 nights, through Hotelscom, for 2 Queen Beds for 4 people, with credit card to guarantee booking Upon arrival, they had changed my reservation to King Bed w/ pullout, calling it an “upgrade”

2 of us had to share the pullout VERY disappointed Talked to front desk, who said, “this happens all the time, you’re not the first”, as if that made it more acceptable They changed to two Queens the following night, and gave us Holiday Inn “points” but refused to refund the cost of the first night where we received not what we booked (both local hotel and greater Holiday Inn refused a refund) This is terrible service, when we book a certain kind of room, and show up at night, we expect to have what we booked, you can’t just change our booking without notifying us and call it “CUSTOMER service” Would never stay here again, nor honestly at any Holiday Inn

We stayed here for one night for a trip to Kings Island and found it to be well worth the price All parts of the hotel we saw seemed to be very clean (but we didn’t check out the pool or fitness area so can’t vouch for those) Breakfast was one of the better hotel breakfasts we’ve had, my kids will always love a pancake machine

The lobby felt inviting and there were lots of seating options for when breakfast got full I really appreciated the blackout (or nearly) curtains in the room and having hooks for sweatshirts and such No need for a closet! Bathroom had enough counter space and liked the wall mounted soaps and lotion, no need to take the little ones when leaving Definitely felt like we got our money worth and we’d definitely stay again next time we go to Kings Island

Heather I

Would definitely stay here again Megan was wonderful and super helpful with any questions we had and with local food recommendations (even a handy menu at the desk)! The room was clean, love the smell of the soaps, coffee was good all day Air conditioner not too loud

The ice machine is located near the elevators where you can grab a bucket and get your ice, plus fill up any water bottles with the machine next to it And 10 PM every night we were able to watch the fireworks at Kings Island from outside! Great location close to attractions, food, and the interstate

+ I watched them take the reception area/food service area completely apart to clean and disinfect+ Clean room looks just like the pictures+ Woman working in the mornings was great

Super friendly and helpful+ Pool was nice+ We were allowed a slightly later check out, which really helped us out+ Nice breakfast spread with the ability to socially distance- Slight smell to room when we got there but it was probably from the cleaning supplies because it definitely went away- Laminate/hardwood floors My child was walking (not running or anything like that)across the room, and the people downstairs complained

Very clean, updated, spacious hotel Breakfast was enjoyable (only complaint was from the kids that they couldn’t make their own waffles), the room was perfect, the staff was polite, the indoor pool was big enough for the kids with spacious enough deck to feel comfortable out of the pool Can’t think of anything I’d recommend to improve upon

Had friends staying across the highway to save a bit of money and their hotel was vastly inferior in terms of space, upkeep, etc

I loved this hotel As far as Residence Inns go, you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all But this one was different

I think it’s on the newer side The rooms are spacious and clean 5 of us slept comfortably Breakfast each morning was great There is a nice indoor pool and a fire pit area It’s only 2 minutes from Kings Islandyou could uber And we could see the fireworks each night from the hotel parking lot I’d would definitely stay again Oh, the staff was also amazing: courteous and thorough

The room was very spacious and the layout was great Breakfast was basic

eggs, turkey sausage, pork sausage,cereal I like that the waffles were prepackaged and warm The lobby is large and there’s lots of seating They have a fire pit with nice seating and a basketball court There are several restaurants within walking distance I’m only giving 4 stars because of the housekeeping There was a lot of dust sitting on top of the fridge No silverware and the kitchen could use a thorough cleaning The towels were dingy and I found dust bunnies on some of the bed pillows The noise from the highway can get a little loud if your on that side of the hotel We were in room 117 I might stay there again because the location is convenient to all my destinations when I visit Cincinnati But I’ll be requesting a room on the other side of the hotel

Close to the interstate clean rooms we had a 2 bedroom loft The only thing I’d change about the layout is the king bed is in the loft which essentially gives no privacy to the occupants in the loft and seeing as the king bed would typically be the master bed you’d think it would be down stairs in the bedroom and the 2 twins would be in the loft Just my opinion though

Hello and no problem My family and I really liked the location of the hotel and the layout of the room and facility Our stay received 3 stars mainly due to the following reasons:1

The door on the first floor leading in/out the north side of the building had an issue with the electronic software to get back in working properly As such, we could not scan ourselves back into the building utilizing our key fobs even though our room was just inside that door Due to that, when we returned to the hotel and parked outside that door we had to walk around to the front of the building to enter the main doors I reported to the front desk the first day but it was not fixed during the days we resided in that room2 On day 2 of our stay, we went to enter our room and after turing the outside handle to open the door the handle popped out of the column and we could not get it back together The front desk tried to help but they were unsuccessful as well As a result, we were moved all the way to the top floor from the first floor so we had to move all of our things that were already unpacked in our first floor room along with all of the groceries we had purchased for the week3 Finally, when we went downstairs for breakfast one morning we were informed they were completely out of milk so we had to eat our cereal dry

Stay away from this dumpster fire of a hotel My wife and I frequent the Home2 style by Hilton due to the size for families This one was by far the worst to date

There was dirty laundry in the hallways that never went anywhere There was still trash in the room from the previous occupant The door stuck really bad from not being hung level and it was really hard to open and close The pool was ice cold, cloudy and had an odd smell Digital keys had issues unlocking the correct locationService here is an absolute joke too When asked with a question you are met with indifference and annoyance The staff are rude and unprofessional The girl at the complimentary breakfast was on her phone the entire time on her ear pods Every person working just seemed annoyed that people were thereClearly the management here is non-existant There is a lack of passion; a lack of consumer focus and a complete lack of work ethic Whoever owns this location should be absolutely ashamed at how it is ran Take some pride in your hotel and yourselves

My review seems to have disappeared so I am sharing my full experience First, Hilton did not ever send an email confirmation Please note that this is important because it is the only document that would record a cancellation policy

Second, I cancelled over a month before my scheduled stay They proceeded to charge my credit card I reached out to the general manager twice with no response The front desk staff is not well-trained on taking and transferring phone calls and I was told twice to call back in the morning when a manager would be there I then filed a complaint with Hilton Customer Care and was guaranteed to receive a response within 72 business hours I have received no communication at all whatsoever, a full week later Please avoid this property and all Hilton properties at all costs I am having very similar issues with another Home2 property right now as well
