Having already reviewed this hotel last year I will not repeat all the nice things I said then, because they are all still true!

We spent a very busy Aniversary weekend exploring our favorite places in town, The Contemporary Arts center, Rockbottom Brewery, Barleycorns (site of our first date over 25 years ago) and took a short cab ride up to Mt Adams for dinner at the Celestial. After watching the famous laborday fireworks we were so glad to walk a few short blocks "home" and not have to worry about the traffic!

Our home base at the Cincinnatian was peaceful and welcoming after a long afternoon and evening. The hotel personel from the doorman to the deskclerk and the housekeeping staff treated us so well I can't see ever staying anywhere else downtown.

Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Of course the cookies were delicious at turn-down. Thanks to all who made our stay special, we look forward to our next stay.

We didn't have a noise issue like other reviewers. Lobby was nice, staff was helpful, they put us on the top floor as requested. Real keys! How often do you see that now?
Got to the room and spent the rest of the time getting over it. The room was quite small. It wasn't really bad, it just wasn't what we anticipated. The bathroom was very spacious and nice, two sinks, good size closet, good quality robes and the best, softest towels of any hotel we've been in.
But the room size and a few other little things kept us from just loving it. There were 2 skylights at the entrance, but only a small window in one corner, starting over 4 feet from the floor. Just a small sliver of the outside world. The work area was built into that area beneath the window, but the surface was very high compared to the chair. Not comfortable for working any length of time. Someone thought it would be cool to have all the hotel info, menus, etc. as a pile of loose sheets of paper (did we have all the pages?). No drink machines, so you'd use the minibar (and no gift shop downstairs that we saw).
Turndown cookies were really good.
Overall, it looks like they thought of a lot of things in planning the hotel, but not everything.

I stay here all the time for business. The rooms are large and clean. Make sure to stay in a room in a higher floor due to the noise in the lounge. Location is prime for shopping and sports. I always look forward to staying there.

Just got back from a two nighter in Room 401. I was a little nervous based on some of the reviews, but found the place very nice and the staff very attentive. No problems at all. If you are concerned with band noise, make sure you do not have a balcony room or you will most likely hear the music. Our room was a corner Deluxe Queen with a view of the alley behind the building. Not a huge room by any stretch, but not tiny like I was expecting based on previous reviews. No noise, no problems, comfy bed, nice feel to the whole place.

Recommended.

I want to agree with the previous reviewer: the jazz band in the bar can be heard throughout the hotel until 11:00 pm, drum solos included. I thought it was outrageous to rent someone a room for $200 and then not provide a quiet environment to rest. In addition, the cable to the tv was broken and wouldn't stay in the tv, so reception came and went. As with the other reviewer, they offered to move us, but we had settled in and didn't want to move at a late hour. They offered no apology when I complained at check out. Just seemed surprised that we would have been trying to rest before 11 pm. Good grief.
