5/5 Excellent

"Everything was amazing at Camp Cedar. From check in to check out I cannot find a single thing to complain about. The property is so well maintained and beautiful. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The amenities are in perfect condition and there are a ton of things to do on site. The shuttle service is perfect of you plan to visit the parks. Our cabin, Aspen, was perfect for our family of 6 and a fur baby. Just enough room to move around and have a place to rest. The bathroom was wonderful, great size and the shower was perfect. I honestly cannot say enough good things about out time here and plan to return with even more family. "

Hyatt Place Cincinnati / Sharonville Convention Center

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and my room immaculate. I controlled my temperature and the bed was super comfortable. I took advantage of the pool and the fitness room which I was the only person in both the pool and fitness room. I enjoyed this one day break to myself for a little R&R. Breakfast was great as well everything very fresh. The only issue I had was the pool ran out of towels to dry off with and I had to go to the front to ask for more to be brought back. Other than that my stay was amazing. I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting or just passing through the Cincinnati/Sharonville area. "
