"great place to stay when visiting cincinnati and ball park. Can walk or take bus to game."

5/5 Excellent

Absolutely wonderful

"We thoroughly enjoyed the entire hotel, the atmosphere was wonderful! Our room was perfect! We stayed in a king suite and it was beyond our expectations from when we booked. The staff and everyone was beyond friendly, accommodating and met our needs! The restaurants and bar were fabulous too! It was a bonus that we stayed there during the Reds and Yankees game, so the hotel was filled with fans from both sides, which made it even better! Hilton is always a go to hotel for me no matter where I travel, but I can promise that every stay in Cincinnati from here on out will be at Hilton Netherlands! "
