Reviews
The location is another big plus. It’s right in downtown Cincinnati, making it very convenient to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. Everything felt easily accessible, which made the trip much more enjoyable.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The bed was especially cozy, and I appreciated the quiet atmosphere—it made it easy to relax after a long day. The staff were friendly and professional, always willing to help with any questions or requests.
The only reason I’m giving 4.5 instead of a full 5 stars is that a few aspects felt slightly dated, and service at peak times could be a bit slow. However, these were minor issues and didn’t take away much from the overall experience.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cincinnati, especially if you appreciate historic architecture and a central location. It’s a memorable place to stay, and I’d happily come back again.
However we enjoyed to stay there with a full of history, beautiful murals and kind staffs.
Really lovely to spend a wonderful evening at dinner. Very friendly staff. 100% recommended
Off course everything is good as hotel.

When I called back to get the correct pizza, Charlene answered and immediately stuck a new pizza in for us with no questions asked. We had the correct piping hot pizza in our hands in 20 minutes.
Charlene had an incredibly positive attitude and was eager to help. I just wish every dining experience would be as good as this one.
Thanks Papa John's for the great experience and thanks Charlene for your great attitude and willingness to help!
Called at 1:31am to inquire about our pizza and was greeted with "Thanks for calling Papa John's we're closed." Ok. I replied with "That's fine I'm calling to check up on my pizza." And the gentleman responded with "I'm sorry we must have forgot."
Rather than argue and requesting another pizza I decided to drop it, ask them to reverse their charges, and ordered a pizza from a competitors location and enjoyed my food in under 30mins. I'm unsatisfied with this Papa John's and don't recommend their service.
