Stayed here one night to see a Reds game. I have never stayed at a Homewood property before, but I am impressed. Rooms are a great size, beds were comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning was outstanding. Hotel is located in an industrial park, but it's still better than staying downtown! Not a bad place to rest our heads for the night. I will give the Homewood another try if i'm in the area again....

I stayed at this property for one night in July 2010. I bought use of a one king bedroom suite for 25,000 HHonors points. Rack rate for the room was $124/night.

This Homewood is located in a light industrial area north of Cincinnati. It sits adjacent to a major interstate and exit. Designers worked to create a buffer from the highway using trees and a small creek. This is obviously a "first generation" Homewood with separate buildings connected through walkways to a sport court, pool and main lobby/lodge. Although not the case during this stay, this design leads to early morning dashes through the rain to breakfast. As other reviewers have noted, there are no other restaurants/stores in the immediate vicinity. Pre-planning for in-suite food/drink would be necessary for longer stays.

Check-in was flawless as all documents were prepared. The desk attendant was very helpful and provided good directions to the exterior door used to access the room. The lobby does have a Suite Shop with food, drink and sundries, but all items were typically costlier than that which one could find away from the property.

Exterior entrance doors were tired and well worn. Simple paint would improve first impressions as one approaches a building containing sleeping rooms. Access was complicated by smoking areas right outside each door. This led to congestion by the doors and many cigarette butts and other loose trash in the doorway areas.

Wait time for elevators was short. The elevator cabs themselves were clean, but obviously showed age. It does not appear that the cabs had received a full refurbishment as the remainder of the public areas obviously had.

Hallways were clean and well lit. They obviously had received a full refurbishment.

The suite was typical for the chain. All areas were spotless and all furniture appeared new and was found in good repair. Bedding was that which one would expect from Homewood and typical amenities were found in the super-clean bath area.

My assigned suite was on the side of the building facing the highway. Given the opportunity, or for a longer stay on this trip, I would have requested another suite. Truck noise was louder than that which I would have expected. The interstate is simply too close for solid noise control.

Morning breakfast was marginal with "hot" food actually just a little warm. All fruits and breads were fresh. The breakfast hostess appeared rushed and did not interact with guests at all.

Check-out was a thirty second affair and the attendant inquired as to whether directions were needed. Subsequently I was invited back. There appears to be a strong focus on customer service.

Overall this was a good stay with minimal issues that others may not even care about. I would not hesitate to stay at the property again should the need arise.

Spent two nights here. Nice place near a freeway. Breakfast was good, but variety was a step below other Homewood Suites. Room was very comfy, and a touch larger than average for Homewood. Kitchen area was clean and in good working order. Staff was fine. Most of the shopping and restaurants in the area are an exit or two in either direction from this hotel. Not far at all from King's Island which is one of the things we did while in the area. Maybe a 15 minute drive or so.

Stayed at this hotel for three nights while in the area for work. The hotel was pretty standard for Homewood Suites and I didn't find it as outdated as others stated.

There is absolutely nothing within walking distance, except businesses. The hotel is in an industrial/business park area. If you want to go to a restaurant or convenience store, you have to drive there (although there are plenty of options within about 5 minutes.)

Could be good for a family: I spoke with a family at the pool who were in the area for a visit to King's Island. It is about a 15-20 minute drive away. However, the hotel offers free dinner M-Th, and free breakfast. They have an outdoor pool and an outdoor basketball court. Could be a good idea for families traveling to the area!
