Find the Cheap Symmes Township Hotels

RedRoof had always been our go-to hotel for consistency. They are usually well-maintained and clean. I don't know WHAT is going on with this place though... First off, the evening staff at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. That was about the only good part. Once we made it around to our parking area, we parked next to a 30-year-old abandoned truck stuffed with garbage. Even the driver's seat was full, so it's obvious it's not being driven. As we made our way toward the building, it was concerning that the outside door to the corridor has a swipe-lock, but it was not operational, and the door stayed unlocked. Nice security. Once inside, the smell of vape, cigarettes and **** permeated the hallways. I was passed by a man carrying a large clothes hamper on his way to the laundry. I assume he lives there. Once we got to our room, I could see down the hall that garbage cans and bags of trash were stacked in the hallway (I assume from more people who live there). I also noticed TONS of dog hair along the hallway carpet. I wasn't even looking for it. It just was that dirty that it caught my eye. I could hear kids screaming and dogs barking already, the walls were that thin. Once inside the room, we noticed how poorly maintained it was. The lampshade was broken, the tiles had months of dirt buildup along the edges, the toilet seat had cigarette burns, and the commode itself was so loose I thought it would fall over. The bathtub had hair and bits of debris in it. I turned on the faucet (which, along with the spout, moved in and out of the wall about an inch when touched), but the tub just filled up and swirled the debris around, taking several minutes to drain, leaving even more debris behind. So we couldn't use the tub. I'm not going to stand in ankle-deep dirty water with somebody else's hair. The mattress was completely flat in the middle. It was like sleeping in a hammock. My wife and I had to stick pillows under our sides like wheel-chocks to keep from rolling into the middle. The walls and floors are extremely thin. We could hear EVERYTHING going on beside us and above us. We could even hear the upstairs dog walking around as if it was in our room! Plus people slamming doors all night, screaming in the hallways, making every dog in the building bark in unison... Like I said- RedRoof is usually a solid choice. But NOT THIS ONE. It is VERY poorly cleaned and maintained. We were only there for one night, and I bet most people wouldn't have even made it that long.

Guest computer had many viruses so it was very, very slow in making connections. Bathroom shower fixtures need replacing. Motel was full and a large group of kids devoured most of the breakfast items by 7:15 AM. Staff was unable to replace items and ran out of some things like pancake syrup. What was there was pretty good but it was slow going to get eggs or sausage due to short staffing.

Room was decent for a 1-night stay. I do not normally post reviews but this one was necessary. At 2am my toilet decided not to flush. I tried calling the front desk multiple times with no answer, no call back, nothing. Up until 7am when I decided we’d just wake the kids and leave early. When I went to the front desk to check out I told the lady that our toilet hadn’t been working and nobody would answer the phone when I called. She could have not cared any less. Only muttered “oh sorry” without even making eye contact.

The hotel was nice for a short stay with my family. Pros: there was one lady in particular that worked at the front desk on Friday evening and Saturday that was very friendly from the moment we checked in. Honestly her positive attitude contributed to our lack of complaints during our stay. The free daily breakfast was decent. There’s a nice variety and you can’t beat free (well it might’ve been included in the cost because I’m not sure what we really paid for) and one less meal to plan for my family. The hotel itself has nice character and is beautiful to the eye initially. The room that we were in was very spacious which was a plus! We didn’t have a chance to use the pool but from what I could see it looked nice. Cons - I believe this is becoming an issue with most hotels possibly due to staffing shortages but the cleanliness of the hotel and the room especially, lacked. Having an infant with us brought this to light. He kept bringing us things that we know for sure we didn’t bring into the room, like butter packets, toothpick/floss sticks and an abundance of hair that didn’t belong to us. And the carpet could certainly use a deep clean. The bathroom toiletries were very basic. The fridge left our food warm, I did notify the person at the front desk when we checked out but she didn’t seem to concerned. We couldn’t get lake check out (but I know that’s never guaranteed, it’s just the first time it’s happened to us lol) Overall it was a decent stay. I think we paid more for Location and hotel brand but we survived.

We stayed at the Best Western Mason Inn for two nights while attending the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament. The stay was comfortable, quiet, and hassle-free. The room and public areas were clean and in good repair. The breakfast area attendant kept things clean and well-stocked. Check-in and -out were hassle-free. Parking was free and there seemed to be enough room for all guests. Wi-fi internet was adequate for our needs. The location is convenient to the tennis center and King's Island.

Very good hotel

We recently held our son's graduation party at this hotel and I cannot say enough great things about the hotel. We had last minute cancellations at another facility and when we called the Hilton to inquire, they were fabulous. Kimberly Whigham a manager at the hotel, personally gave us a tour, assured us of the best service, gave us price friendly options and was a joy to work with. She was very responsive, guided us through various alternatives as we are not event planners and in the end, the room looked fantastic. During our dinner, Morgan was our assigned server and she was a joy going the extra mile to make sure our Son's graduation was a memorable event. We live in Illinois and arrived in Ohio the day of the event, but Kimberly had communicated well with our caterer and DJ, so everything went well without a hitch. The facility is newer, the bar tenders working that night at the bar were fun and served great drinks and most importantly the hotel is well kept. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and as a long time Hilton Honors member, I would rate this as one of the better Hilton's that I have worked with. Thank you for working with us Kimberly, you and your team are the best. Anytime I'm in the Cincinnati metro area, you have a long term customer.

It is a great hotel!

This people are great. I have been in Ohio for 2 months on a travel assignment as a nurse. After trying a few airbnb's, I decided to try this place. I love it, they gave me great rates and went over and above in customer service. Everyone has been nice. The location is great with lots of places to eat and close to the interstate. The rooms were great, nice and clean. Katie is the best, she has the best smile and disposition. Ms. Gale is so sweet she has the best breakfast in the morning and she serves us and makes the morning great. Jessica, Shelly, and Amanda all are so sweet. Big thanks to everyone!
