I like the location and easy access to both Kings Island and the downtown areas along with a short drive to restaurants, other attractions, and grocery stores. The front desk people were polite but seemed to be the only staff on site. I had to pay at check in and i think i would not have stayed and changed hotels if i had not payed up front. The place seemed to be a ghost town, only a handful of cars in parking. I did not see any cleaning staff. The pool was ok and a needed respite in the heat feom the days but there were piles of garbage in all the corners by the pool. I had to ask for fresh towels every day including for the pool. The building was run down with obvious ceiling leaks in places, dirty walls, cracks in walls. The beds were ok comfort, we slept well enough. The "continental breakfast" was just crappy stale coffee, stale cereal, and questionable milk. Continental breakfasts usually have other fresh options so that was disappointing. There was no room fridge to bring back fresh options to keep to snack on so we HAD to go out for food every time. We spent as little time as possible there. If i knew how this place actually was and not the dressed up photos, i would not have stayed here.
