Great location
Very nice hotel, clean and centrally located. The shower was terrible- either icy cold or scalding hot, and nothing in between.

Valet parking is the only choice for parking and it’s $48/night. Literally go with any other hotel in the area for a cheaper price. That being said, the hotel was outdated and dirty. Bathroom shower had mold in it. It took the water 5 minutes to get hot. The view is a side of a building. Just pass.

We enjoyed staying at the Renaissance Downtown Cincinnati hotel. The staff were very friendly and engaging. And the room was clean and inviting. The hallway did have an old smell to it but it’s to be expected with a century old building. Overall, we enjoyed our time and look forward to booking another stay in the near future.

A/c never cooled the room down. Loud music till at least 11pm and the walls are thin you could hear everything in the hall and outside. Would never stay there again with all the other options around the area. Only parking they had was valet parking and they charge it on to the room.

The actual hotel part was pretty good, the creamer for the coffee was curdled so wasted my coffee. Someone was knocking on our door at 9am to see if we had left yet. not cool. we went to the restaurant before our event and ask would we be able to get dinner when we returned at 11:30pm and they said we could eat until 1am. Sadly when we arrived, they said it would be a 30-minute wait. After 30 minutes they said the kitchen was shut down or not serving food for 30 minutes. after that they we done serving. we went without dinner that night. we are both 62 years old on medicine and can't take that medicine without eating. we will never be back.

Excellent accommodations
The front desk was amazing as they held our luggage for both days, early arrival and late departure. Valet was friendly and prompt. Room was clean and my wife loved the comfort of the bed! If we return to downtown Cincinnati we will prefer to stay at your hotel in the future. Would love to know if you have any Reds or Bengal packages and we might be coming back soon. Thanks again to everyone on your staff to make sure we had a great weekend!!!

Room could have been a bit cleaner/more tidy. There were no cups for the ice bucket, no extra rolls of toilet paper and you had to run the shower for about 20 mins before getting hot water. Bathroom door didn’t close nor the closet doors. Pricey for what you’re actually getting
