    The breakfast, not even sure if this is actually part of the hotel, tower, it took for ever to get it and then it was not good.

    We loved the hotel, its in the middle of the city, perfect location. Beautiful art work on the walls, reserve time to enjoy them. The staff was very helpful and nice.

    The property advertised a roof terrace, but it was closed. We were told it only opens in the summer.

    Excellent location close to all amenities in downtown Cincinnati. The staff were extremely helpful, as we brought our bikes with us and they kept them just behind reception. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We didn't eat, but we had cocktails and the barman was top-notch. And of course- the art is great.

    Our room was a little dusty, and the shower handle was broken and didn’t attach to the plumbing properly so it was a little dangerous. But the room itself was very nice.

    Great location also basically a hotel inside an art museum. Very unique. We also loved the restaurant.

    Staff on the first evening of my arrival were cold and didn't engage too much. Very matter of fact and down to business. Not the most welcoming or friendly. Compared to the following days where the staff had more energy and were nice. Food at the restaurant was also incredibly salty.

    Room was clean and tidy.

    Pulling up at night, it was not well marked and I drove past it. Valet was available but we parked around the corner in a lot. I wasn't sure where to go when I walked in.

    There is a nice bar and an art gallery downstairs. It is very conveniently located as we walked to the Steelers game, dinner at Boca and Fountain Square easily.

    Extend hours on Saturday for the free tasting of bourbon to go along with your museum tour. From the website it stated that it was open ‘until’. It did not have an ‘end time’. We returned to the hotel around 11:05/11:15 and they had already stopped serving so we did not get to use any of our vouchers. Very disappointed. When I got off the elevator to go to the room, the first thing that I observed were the long black streak marks on the white walls. When we made another left to get to the room, there were more streak marks on that wall as well. Not sure when the last time they have been cleaned or painted. Once in the room, it reeked of smoke and the lamp next to the bed was broken. How the cleaning staff could miss that and not bring it to management attention and have it replaced is beyond me. We immediately went back downstairs, explained the situation to the front staff. They apologized and immediately switched our rooms which I appreciated. The location was great. Very close to the venue where we attended the Men Of Honor Gala. For the price I paid, which was a gift to my brother and his wife. I’m sorry to say that the Hyatt Regency, where we also had rooms was cheaper and the rooms were just as good as 21C. My brother did not complain about the bed, so I’m assuming it was comfortable. If in Cincinnati again, I would definitely return to the hotel, just to view and take a stroll through the museum. I don’t believe I would stay there.

    Location, front desk staff & art throughout.

    At that price level, I would expect a few more amenities, e.g. daily bottled water, shower cap and Q tips replaced when being used, etc.

    Great location and cool hotel. Modern rooms, roomy and comfortable bed. Very friendly staff.
