The restaurant closed earlier than posted hours. Staff said when its slow, restaurant closes early. We were expecting to be able to get food/ drinks when we returned. Other than that, and the fact that there were no microwaves in the room, the stay was fine.

I selected this after flights delayed two days and wanted a cheaper hotel from where I’d attended conference in Cincy. I opted not to add breakfast. Property looks rough on outside especially compared to nearby hotels. I was concerned. However, the inside was very nice. Very comfortable bed. Great shower. Keurig in room. Updated room. Older ac/heat. Can hear highway noise. We walked to Braxton’s Brewery. Felt very safe. Lots of public transit around. Friendly staff. Great value. Highly recommend. Would choose again especially if trying to save money.

The hotel is so dated and the rooms are tiny. The bathroom was dingy and the exhaust fan didn’t even work. There were 2 lamps with blown out bulbs and the tv was so old the remote would barely turn the station. Not to mention they shut the water off sometime while we were sleeping so when we woke up we couldn’t brush our teeth, shower, or use the restroom. There were signs posted saying that the water would be turned off… However that would’ve been nice to know before booking. A shower would’ve been really great when I woke up this morning

Front desk clerk at night was not helpful at all. We had to go down there (because the phone in our room didn’t work) for an extra blanket because there was nothing for the pull out in our room. She told us she might be able to get us something sometime but she was the only one working. We never got them.
