Vernon Manor Hotel, Cincinnati

The staff at the Vernon Manor go out of their way to provide you with everything you need and their pleasant as well. The area surrounding the hotel leaves much to be desired. I'm used to urban areas so it didn't bother me to see a man and woman fist fighting across the street from the nearby tennis courts. It did bother me, however, when I went to take my nephew to Childrens Hospital and found that my car window had been smashed and my GPS, Radar Detector and credit cards were stolen. My car was parked in their fenced in patrolled lot! Still, it wasn't safe. The hotel's restaurant is expensive and leaves alot to be desired. There is nothing to do, once you're in the hotel, i.e., no amenities. Only the staff rates 5 stars and the Cincinnati Police Dept rates 10 stars!

The rooms are big but old. The linen is like years old, drinking glasses are not clean. The neighborhood is bad, real bad. The hotel vending machines don't work, so if u get hungry after 9pm, God Help you; coz the staff would not. They care less.... They advise you to go out n find a store for urself.... Awful awful place... Not recommended at all....

This is not a "cookie cutter" hotel. All the rooms are different and distinctive. This one of the most unique hotels I have ever experienced. Rarely does a hotel have such a homey feel. The staff is very accomodating, whether you are at the bellman's station, the front desk, or the bar. The staff always seems to be as one, like "a family". The Vernon Manor is located north of the downtown area, but the free shuttle service is a major plus. And the staff is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Cincinnati.

The tasteful decor, cleanliness, and polite service made us feel at home. The atmosphere was pleasantly non-commercial. We also enjoyed the quietness. The hotel is a bit difficult to reach through congested traffic, but once inside, the city rush and racket seemed far away.
