| - [This is part of a set of reviews covering establishments my family and I encountered while taking a road trip to Cincinnati.]
I'm finally getting to the final few reviews from my trip more than two months ago. I guess I could have scrapped these last few, but that's not what Yelpers do. Is it!?
This was your typical Courtyard by Marriot. Clean, well-run, friendly staff. They have a good-sized pool and a big, comfortable lobby. There were quite a few people checking in at the same time I was (the young lady at the front desk seemed a bit frazzled, but still very professional) and I was surprised how much room there was given the limited space they had cordoned off for registration.
I would complain about the fact that there were only two elevators at either end of the hotel, but for this size hotel it didn't make sense to add more. It gave the feeling that we were waiting a long time because we had only one option, but that was probably just skewed because of my impatience of wanting to get to where I was going that night. I did take the stairs a few times when I didn't want to wait and going up and down to the third floor was surprisingly un-strenuous. They had enough room that the staircase was very shallow. Actually, a very unusual setup.
I was a little disappointed in the morning when we were trying to get breakfast. Like the first Marriot we stayed on the outbound part of our trip, there were waffle makers, but these weren't self-serve. There was an area for a "chef" to make you eggs/omelette, but there was no one manning the station. Granted, it was early. But still. If you're going to have a station like that, shouldn't there be *someone* there?
Even with that, we had a nice stay. Comfortable and restful before the drive home.
