Baymont Inn And Suites Cincinnati

This hotel is OK at best. There are a decent amount of resturants in the area, and the bed was comfy. …That’s where it stops. The TV reception is horrible on every channel, not to mention that the channels do not line up with the guide provided on the night stand. There is no guide or info available on the tv either. The WORST part is that the shower was clogged. It began clogging the minute someone took a shower, and it filled up almost completely before you were done. We have FOUR people in our room. And the management took almost 2 hours to get to our room with Drano. But that was before they «forgot» about us on top of it.
The ice machine on our floor is broken. The contenintal breakfast is your typical carb-​load. Nothing hot or particulary nutritious. The bathroom is super sketchy… mildew in tub, peeling enamel on the sink, and creepy, terrible lighting. Our towels smelled JUST like CIGARETTES one night. There is a HUGE draft in the window. Oh, and our key cards stopped working randomly.
Thankfully, we were in town for a workshop intensive, so we didn’t spend much time in our room. If we come back for another workshop, we will be staying elsewhere.

Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I still get nightmares about this place.
I stayed here two years ago for an entire week. It was my first time in Cincinnati and I was excited to explore. My father flew out with me to help me get settled, but my apartment wasn’t ready for another week. Unfortunately, our trip was ruined by our stay. Why?
BEDBUGS. It was my first experience with them and I was thoroughly disgusted. After some research, I learned that bedbugs can happen anywhere, even in the nicest hotels. I was willing to be forgiving, so I complained to the manager to make sure nobody else had the same experience I did. They didn’t seem to care much. They said they would have someone take a look, but because it was the weekend, we would have to wait. Therefore, we were not permitted to change rooms until it was confirmed? Guess the 20+ bites I had were not enough. I HAD TO ASK TO SWITCH ROOMS. They even said they had to check availability like I was making their job difficult. They offered absolutely no compensation, and I never saw anybody deal with the problem. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Clean motel, great price but outdated, free breakfast, wifi, pet friendly with large field in back. Many eateries nearby. Free shuttle service. I was referred after truck broke down but if I’m in area again I’ll come back here.

Room wasn’t the cleanest. The tub had mildew around the base of the walls and it just didn’t smell very clean. The free breakfast was okay… typical carb loaded continental breakfast you would expect at a hotel. The in-​room coffee maker didn’t work. I expect a little more for $ 80 a night.

I stayed at this facility on 9÷11÷13 in room 202. By the following evening I had a substantial amount of BED BUG bites ! I have tried to communicate with the manager, Mr Singh by talking with 3 front desk personnel and asking him to call, me. He has refused to do so over a 3 day period. PS — their national headquarters says this facility is no longer a Baymont, but an independent!
Thank you

In Aug. 2013 I stayed one night at this Baymont with my family. The hotel looked nice from the outside, but the inside looked like it had not been renovated or deep cleaned in 20 years! Problems with our 2 double bed room: One sheet ripped, one blanket ripped, stains on towels, sink cracked, mold in shower especially on the ceiling, and wallpaper peeling off. The bed seemed a bit squishy, but I didn’t wake up with a back ache, so I guess it was OK. The free breakfast included bagels, muffins, cereal, waffles, coffee, juice… exactly what I expected. But the carpet of the eating area was badly stained and looked like they never scrubbed it! My husband described the front desk staff as «functional.» I checked out the pool at night and there were no lights on in the room. Looks as though it was originally an outdoor pool and then build 4 walls and ceiling around it. We did not swim in it. The pros about this hotel: Cheap price= $ 60+tax and there were many good chain restaurants near by, some within walking distance (Cracker Barrel, Ruby Tuesdays, Bob Evans, etc.) I would not stay in this Baymont again. I’ve stayed in a really nice Baymont before, but this one was a dump.

The hotel was good, not bad! It had everything that was to be in a hotel. Upon check-​in, it was pretty quick. I just wondered why they had asked me for model, make, and license plate number. Maybe they take responsibility for stolen vehicles? Who knows.
The room, upon entrance, was very clean. Two full size beds and a couch and table for business work. The room also had a huge bathroom. The walls looked to be partially worn or somewhat with a little mold. Not a big deal. Did not harm me, but it does affect the cleanliness and appearance factor. The beds were clean and comfortable. The pillows could be a tad bit harder.
Suggestions for progress: Put a towel rack to the wall behind the door when you enter the bathroom. I hate having to put my clothes on the main towel rack on top of the toilet because I felt they would fall into the toilet. Also, the business computer, the only one that an individual staying could use in the hotel, should be installed with google chrome instead of internet explorer. It was a tad bit slow and it did say that the virtual memory was a bit low. Maybe a restart would have helped, but google chrome may have been a better option over internet explorer.
Breakfast was great, as it was complimentary; however, I could have used tea and/​or hot chocolate in the morning. I had to; instead, get myself decaf coffee. Not much of a coffee fan.

Bottom line, you get what you pay for. I’ve stayed at nicer places for this price point so can’t really give it many stars. It would be fine as a place to crash on a road trip (as was my case), but it’s definitely time to do some updating. Bed was hard and I could feel the springs. Also, my non-​smoking room smelled like it had been smoked in before. Like i said, Check it out if you need a cheap place to crash but if you want something fairly decent, go somewhere else.

Reviews for the Sake of Reviewing: Stayed at this Baymont Inn during a Cincinnati broomball tournament. Funny enough, we got the same rates as the group rate without needing to use the group rate — which makes me wonder if this you’re better off booking a block of rooms for your next event here. I recalled that the indoor pool was crowded with children even late at night. The morning breakfast was satisfactory for being free. The front receptionist had a hard time finding us a taxi or understanding what we needed. Overall, it’s everything that I expected from this type of hotel.
Final Verdict: Good for the budget-​minded traveler.
