We went to Cincinnati for a weekend getaway. We drove by the hotel twice before noticing the signage.. You must be looking right beside the door to notice the small name plate. Rooms seem to vary quite a bit here. We had a room overlooking the atrium. It was very nice until it was time to sleep. The crowd noise from the bar was so loud and we could not sleep. Overall a very nice place. I agree with a previous review stating the Valet was rude. They were not welcoming at all and was quite abrupt when they so-called welcomed us. I would like to come back here and check out the wine tasting events. For the price of the rooms, I think they need to step it up a notch.. the historic value is what makes this place so special!

We stayed here last weekend for a wedding and was amazed with the amenities and service in this boutique hotel. The airport shuttle is a wonderful option with an amazingly reasonable price (it's a leather-trimmed SUV). The staff was amazing, from the doormen who let us borrow an umbrella, to the concierge, to the bartenders and everyone in between. Our room was a little small, but we kind of expected that from a historic property. The furniture was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was amazing. A DEEP round tub make baths a nightly necessity. While breakfast isn't free, we splurged for room service, and when I say splurge, we're talking $40 for two people with juice and coffee. The food prices are so reasonable. All in all, it was a great stay for a great price with great service. We would stay there again.

This hotel is just lovely and so much more intimate than the large chain hotels we all know by name. Owned by The Preferred Hotel group, (you can never go wrong going to their registry and choosing a hotel or B&B that belong), it is elegant, modern, and has great restaurants.

The rooms vary quite a bit and we had a queen standard which although smaller, still had first class ammenities. The bed sheets are high quality, the furniture sleek and in good repair, the tv is a disappearing flat screen, and the drawer space and closet are adequate for a 2-3 night stay.

Most impressive is the bathroom! First of all, very pristine, clean and contemporary porcelain and high-tech fixtures. The shower is a trip: two waterfalls and 6 side jets spray from opposite ends. There is enough space to fit four people! There is a built in counter near the sink which is great for a cosmetic station for women as it has a lovely stool for which to perch. The tub is phenomenal: whirlpool, varying jet speeds and stationed nearby are a flat screens tv, video port and stereo. All tastefully designer entirely in white. The bath towels are big and fluffy, as are the robes. I'm saving the best for last: all Molton Brown bath/shower items for use. The best of the best!

Restaurant food is high end and delicious. The wine list is top of the line and the service is amazing. The menu (in "The Palace"- the fine dining option), is heavy on meat and game. Being pescevegetarians, we were happy there were two fish selections.

The staff at the desk, bellman, and maid service are very accommodating. The valet was a bit rude, but perhaps he was miserable due to the rainy chilly night? Not a great welcome upon arrival, but the minute you step into the hotel, you'll be glad you didn't choose a big chain hotel. This is the only hotel we use when traveling through Cincinnati.

Friendly, attentive service. Spacious, clean room. Centrally located. Pretty much everything you need for a short business trip.

Side note: We had breakfast in the restaurant and were served by an a older woman by the name of Phyllis. She was amazingly attentive and sweet. Kudos to Phyllis.
