Suburban Studios Mason Hwy 42

This was an affordable place to stay for a quick overnight in Cincy. The hotel was convenient to what we wanted to do (Kings Island, shopping malls, etc.) The room was nicer than I expected, the beds were comfortable and the linens nicer than usual. Breakfast was adequate, quiet at night.

Would not recommend. Check in staff was very helpful, but this doesn't make up for the dirty carpet and cigarette smell everywhere. The breakfast area wasn't well serviced ( ran out of milk and waffle maker didn't work well). Just not a clean hotel. Would spend a few more dollars for a cleaner place to sleep.

The breakfast food was cold and greasy, our room had a bad odor, the hotel itself had an odor about it....

Froot Loops were stale, eggs were cold, no elevator for guest with bad knees. No microwave in one of the rooms. Had to hold the handle down on the toilet to get it to flush. Rooms were non-smoking, but smelled like someone had been smoking in them. The TV remote wouldn't work on the TV. Desk Clerk was very nice and helpful. He fixed the remote problem.

Nice hotel but no elevator if you have trouble with stairs. However it is only 2 stories high.

The staff was very friendly, but the stains on the bed skirts, the clogged up coffee pot inside the room, the dirty vents on the air conditioning unit, and the fact that one bed had fresh sheets and the other was questionable was quite a fright, but about what I would have expected from this type of hotel. Management was not concerned about the bed skirts saying, "we don't wash those everyday". Housekeeping took the coffee pot without sending up another one because most of the coffee pots in the building were not working. We were told to leave our breakfast garbage on the tables in the lobby because the garbage can was over-flowing. I guess they did not want to empty the garbage more than once. Rooms were extremely pricey all over town for this particular night. Most nicer hotels had no available space. So, we were stuck.

The staff was helful in finding things to do because it rained and our water park plans were cancelled.

Staff was very, very friendly and helpful. Hotel could have used some updates. Loose shower curtain rod, new paint, cracked window. Nothing horrible, just updates needed. Location was good, about 5 minutes from Kings Island Park.

Hotel was off the beaten path but easy to find. Did not guarantee room after midnight, which could have been a problem for us since we were leaving King's Island late. We got to the hotel and encountered a hot lobby, polite host, unclean carpets. The room number was written illegibly and we had to return to front desk to inquire. There are no elevators (room was on 2nd floor so we had to lug things twice). Finally got in our room. Beds were nice. Carpet again looked dirty. At first, I didn't think the AC was going to work. Tub/shower would not drain properly. Toilet had to be flushed twice. Breakfast bar closed at 9:00 a.m. and pool didn't open until 10:00 with checkout being at 11:00. We did return for second night because we left late and had bad directions for long drive home. Second night we stayed, we were given same room and it had trash in the corner (not from our stay the previous night) and the AC was LOUD. Had to put a chair against it to keep it from rattling. Freezing cold and then hot all night. Beds were fine, pillows good. Again, terrible drainage in the shower and was just glad to have a place to sleep. Breakfast bar was fine. Different host was nicer than the first and found some yogurt for us that hadn't been set out. All in all, we got what we paid for, but I think this property needs some updating and cleanliness. Would recommend trying out other places. We went here because trip advisor gave it good reviews. Don't think it lived up to those reviews.

The hotel was convenient and affordable for overnight stay while going to Kings Island. Our room was not ready when we arrived at 3:15--just a minor inconvenience as we went on to Kings Island and came back to the hotel at the end of the day. Interior was dated but clean. Overall, a good value for what we needed--we would stay here again.
