Hampton Inn & Suites Cincinnati Midtown Rookwood

10/10 Excellent

"Hands down the most friendly staff ever. All super outgoing and helpful."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites-Cincinnati NE - Red Bank Road by IHG

8/10 Good

"Property was clean and comfortable. Amenities such as fitness equipment need updating and repairs. Pool very small."

The Jules - Charming 3-bedroom house in Linwood

10/10 Excellent

"We utilize VRBO for almost all of our home away from home vacations. I will tell you : The Jules did not disappoint! Super clean. Plenty of linens and plenty of cooking utensils. We will definitely refer your vrbo and will be back."

Incredible 3 bed Oakley Square Charmer! Enjoy everything Oakley! Best location!

10/10 Excellent

"This property is spotless, beautiful, perfectly maintained, and in a fantastic location. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful! This was a perfect VRBO experience!"

Fairfield By Marriott Inn & Suites Cincinnati Oakley

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay and the staff was so nice"

Oakley Square 3BR Completely Remodeled - Walkable

10/10 Excellent

"Property was beautiful and clean, not one of those “renovated” properties that has put lipstick on a pig. It was more expensive than we would have liked simply because of the weekend we were there, but it was definitely fair for the value provided. Would have loved to have been able to use the off street parking. It was not clear until check-in that we had to park on the street and could only use the driveway for loading. We also felt like check out was a bit early. Would have loved one more hour in the morning. But we were very pleased with the accommodations, the communication, and the cleanliness. Great hosts, and great property! Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend to others."
