Suburban Studios Mason Hwy 42

We liked our stay, could have been better, since it was 90 degrees outside on July 25, 2015, and the room was extremely hot, because the air conditioner was off. Took a long time to cool down. New policy to keep them off until guest turned on needs to be re-evaluated. Free breakfast was great. Quiet and only 3 miles from Kings Island.

Staff was very helpful about changing our room. When I booked the room I didn't realize I market for smoking in they changed at the last minute thank you

The light bulbs, upon our arrival at 10pm, in the bathroom were burned out and the hotel had no spares. The hotel clerk took me to the one room that hadn't checked in yet and I had to climb up and get light bulbs out of the other room's bathroom and I had to go install them myself. They found some guy to go buy light bulbs at Walmart. The last guest to check in would have no light bulbs in his bathroom. Also currents were discgusting.

Acceptable room. Convenient location for our specific needs

It was OK. Being close to Kings Island was the only good thing. The pool was VERY cloudy and needs up keep. They have one person working in the morning, so it takes them awhile to restock breakfast and they only have one waffle iron. Do NOT get too close to the walls in the room. They've been cheaply patched in spots.

Very dirty hotel, bad neighborhood and too overpriced

Staff was friendly and helpful but we got a room that had dingy, gross carpeting as well as a shower that had curtains too short for the tub, which led to water leaking all over the bathroom floor. Also the tub didn't drain well at all. The staff said they were in the middle of replacing the carpeting throughout the hotel but seems like they waited a few years too long to replace it all. Pretty gross. Also parking had barely enough spots as we came back late one night and had to park barely fitting behind a dumpster.

Room was not refreshed to well. Security of room was not all that well. One day, was able to push the door and walk right in after hotel staff did what they called cleaning.

Pros: The continental breakfast was good with a decent selection of food. The beds were comfy with lots of pillows. WiFi worked. Pool was really warm. Good location, minus the crazy uphill driveway to get out. New hallway carpeting looks nice. Cons: our bathroom floor was sticky by toilet so we put towels down on the floor, dead bugs behind the toilet, bathroom walls were half-painted a new grey color. Pool sitting area was full of dead bugs, and the plastic chairs and tables were dirty/sticky. I think they recently painted the pool area, but not sure if it was the right type of paint since some of the paint would stick to the bottom of my feet and actually peel off the floor. Lots of ants outside of the building and in pool area.

Overall this will be a very acceptable hotel, but they are ion the middle of complete renovations right now, so it's not at it's best. The reno's will make it quite nice, but they have to clean up some of the small details. It looks like they didn't hesitate to spend considerable money with good intentions. We would stay there again if our travels bring us that way.
