"The hotel was good overall. Large bedrooms, comfy bed, AC working well. TV with the Tennis Channel on. Breakfast had a few options such as eggs, bread, pancakes, apples, tea, coffee, yoghurt, etc. A shout out for the hotel to offer a shuttle both ways to the Cincy Open tennis event. It was great, although the schedules offered by the hotel did not work as it was in the paper. I suggest the hotel do better maintenance of the rooms. The room I stayed in needs some drain cleaning in the bathroom. It was clogged and accumulating water during a bath."
