"Na"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Cincinnati-Midtown, OH

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay! The location was great, and the hotel felt incredibly new and well-maintained. Everything was top-notch, and our room was so fresh and spotless that it honestly felt like we were the very first family to stay in it. The breakfast was another highlight. There were plenty of choices and a great variety of options—probably the best breakfast experience I’ve had at any Hilton property so far. Our only minor issue was the parking. The parking area was shared with two other properties, which made finding a nearby spot a little tedious, especially at busy times. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and only wished we could have stayed a few more nights. We would definitely be happy to stay here again!"
