Drury Plaza Hotel Cincinnati Florence
It was way to crowded to try the pool and hot tub. With a busy weekend as it was 2 slow moving elevators was not enough. We ended up using the stairs to the 6th floor.

Pickle Factory Hotel
The Soda Pop room was adorable. I traveled alone for nursing clinicals and felt safe staying there. Great for Solo travel along with traveling with a family. Would stay there again if I’m ever in the area.
