"My son and I stayed here for a weekend trip to Kings Island. The hotel is approximately 4 miles from the park and there are a lot of restaurants and shops near the hotel (didn't have the time to explore). One of the things we look for when we are traveling is a hotel with an indoor pool and hot tub. This hotel did not disappoint. Very nice pool and hot tub. Comfortable beds. Nice room. Hotel looks like it has been updated within the last couple of years. Breakfast was ok. Nothing great by any means but what do you expect for a hotel breakfast that's included? Overall, a very positive visit. We plan on staying here again the next time we visit Kings Island."
