We had a half river, half downtown view and it was fantastic. To see the big blue bridge lit up at night was really a sight to see. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was very good with a lot of options, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. This is not my first stay at this hotel and I came back for these reasons.

We arrived late at night and the staff was very welcoming. Advised what time breakfast was served and the hours for the pool. The room was very clean and spacious. We had a room with a balcony facing the Ohio River. Highly recommend for families or business travlers as right next to convention center. There is also a bar and restaurant on site but they did close early.
