Today is the second time I have visited The Cricket, and the second time I had terrible service. I would not recommend this place for anyone on a lunch hour, or that is trying to impress a date. Food was OK, once they took your order, if you want desert you better order it right away. The waitresses we had on both occasions were less than attentive. We had to wave them down for a coffee refill. The beer is warm, that may be because it takes 20 minutes to get it. Pros: Food is good, when they have what you order Cons: Service is terrible

I've read lots of reviews about this hotel, and they all give it 5 stars. I can only think that others are used to lower standards or I was extremely unlucky. I arrived on a Sunday evening. Check in was fine, but when I arrived at the room they had given to me it was next door to a VERY noisy elevator motor room. At the prices these guys charge that was unacceptable so I went back down to ask for another room. Thus started a long, wild, goose chase. The problem seemed to be that most of the rooms just had not been cleaned after the Saturday night. We visited 3 more rooms which turned out to be unavailable. In the end I accepted a room that was not really satisfactory simply because I was too tired to look around any more. The room needed a makeover. The furniture and bath did not exude the feeling of luxury I would have expected. Room service was OK, but my complimentary drink and chocolate strawberries came with my meal, which was a bit tardy, and the chicken wrap was stale. The Palace restaurant was very good, as it ought to be for the price, although the menu is a bit limited - you wouldn't want to eat there very often. It's not that The Cincinnatian is bad, it's more that it doesn't deliver what it should at the prices it charges.

Mike whom is the bartender thru the early part of the day has a fantastic Bloody Mary receipe. He truly helps make your drinking and or dining experience very enjoyable. While sitting there you never know who may sit next to you. On occasions there have been all star sporting figures and at other times there have been the rock and roll stars. It is a place you definately do not wat to miss.

The Cincinnatian Hotel is the most beautiful hotel in Cincinnati. From the second you walk up to the building, the elegance of it is simply amazing. As you enter the hotel, the staff is kind and courteous and willing to comply with your requests. The wedding suite is simply gorgeous. It was much more than I expected, and the staff goes out of their way to make the night even more special. They were even able to accommodate an early check in so that I may use the room to get ready in. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a classy place to stay in Cincinnati for any occasion.
