Hello and thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us and that our team was able to accommodate your needs, particularly with an eight-month-old traveling with you. We are glad the early check-in and room upgrade through The Edit by Chase helped make your visit more comfortable. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed breakfast, and we will be sure to pass along your compliments to our food and beverage team. Recognition like yours means a great deal to our team. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the condition of the rooms and the shower leakage. We recognize that some areas of our historic property would benefit from refreshing, and comments like yours reinforce the importance of those improvements. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. Additionally, we understand how frustrating unexpected late-night noise can be, especially when traveling with an infant. While activity outside the hotel is not always within our direct control, we certainly understand the impact it can have on a restful night's sleep. Thank you again for choosing 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming your family back for an even better experience.

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback. I apologize that several aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. The communication surrounding our valet service, missing room amenities, Chromecast issues, and difficulty with your guest room door are all concerns we take seriously. I will be sharing your comments with our Valet, Housekeeping, and Engineering teams to address these opportunities for improvement. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have another opportunity to provide you with a much better experience. Kind Regards, Brad Kramer | Front Office Manager

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, appreciated the artwork throughout the hotel, and found our team friendly and helpful. We are fortunate to have such a unique property, and it is always rewarding to hear when guests enjoy the museum experience. That said, I sincerely apologize for the maintenance and cleanliness concerns you encountered in your room. The issues with the shower grout, clogged sink, and room telephone are certainly not reflective of the standards we strive to maintain. I will be sharing your comments with our Housekeeping and Engineering teams to ensure these items receive attention. I am particularly sorry for the extended wait for your vehicle. Being quoted 15–20 minutes and ultimately waiting approximately 45 minutes, especially when you had a family dinner to attend, is understandably frustrating. Our valet service should make your experience more convenient, not cause you to miss or arrive late to important plans. We will be addressing this feedback with our Valet team. We appreciate your honest feedback and the opportunity to identify areas where we can improve. We hope you will consider visiting us again and allow us the opportunity to provide the seamless experience we are known for. Kind Regards, Brad Kramer | Front Office Manager

The lobby area was nice but our room was a sort of odd corner room and we shared a common hall door with another room that was noisy throughout the stay. The HVAC system was also very abnormally noisy in our room whenever it would kick on and woke us up often. Our room also didn't come with a refrigerator which we thought was off but didn't say anything to staff and the second day sometime in the afternoon someone must have came into our room and placed a refrigerator in the middle of the floor by the door I assume after housekeeping realized we didn't have one.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our lobby area, but we sincerely apologize that several aspects of your room did not meet your expectations. We are especially sorry for the disturbances caused by the noise from the adjoining hallway and the HVAC system. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have your sleep interrupted throughout your stay, and this is certainly not the comfortable experience we want our guests to have. We also apologize for the inconvenience and unusual placement of the refrigerator in your room. While we appreciate that our team may have been trying to address the missing amenity, it should have been handled in a much more thoughtful and appropriate manner. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can review these concerns and identify opportunities for improvement. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience we provide to our guests. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the comfortable and enjoyable stay you deserve. Jake Mann | Director of Rooms T 51… | ja…

The valet was a little awkward to use. Nobody advised when the car was there we had to constantly check if it had arrived. Our room lacked a safe and a second robe. The chrome cast didn’t work for Netflix and the door to our room was very poorly damped. It would slam without locking which was very annoying.

We had a nice stay. We enjoyed the art on the first and second floors. The hotel is really nice but has some dated/worn out features. The front desk button didn’t work on our room phone (but 0 did the same thing), there was a small amount mildew grout lines in the otherwise beautiful shower. One of the sinks clogged like it was full of hair. The Valet took longer than expected and made us late for a family dinner. They had said 15-20 minutes but it ended up being g around 45 min.

Perfect for a trip to Arnoff, staff were pleasant and happy to assist or find out. Older, heavier doors can be a bit “slammy” at night when other guests are leaving, but no footsteps could be heard. Overall, great experience

The overall experience was very fun. It was a neat venue to stay at and appreciated the restaurant and museum that we could take advantage of. There was bits of food on the floor when we arrived (looked like bacon or leftover breakfast), but overall the room was clean. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but did not impact our sleep. Overall, a very positive experience and we'd love to come back!

The staff were polite. The building did not appear to be well maintained. There was only a valet option for parking and at times, especially in the evening it was very difficult to park. The food in the restaurant was by far the best part of our stay.

Guest experience for Oct. 23-25, 2026: The good news is that my husband and I were kindly upgraded to a corner king suite, Room 311, due to postponement of our original 10/16-10/18 reservation. The space and stylish decor were absolutely wonderful! However, the cleanliness of the velvet sofa, the condition of the pendant light, which was obviously missing parts, the less than clean appearance of the bathroom floor tile and shower/bath, (ESPECIALLY the tub) and the bedding, was quite a bit lower than anticipated. Additionally, the wonderful pump soaps, shampoo & conditioner and lotion bottles were all very nearly empty. Our pillowcases showed small amounts smudged makeup before we had slept even one night. Probably mascara on one, and lipstick on the other. There was a space for an under-counter mini-fridge, however there was no fridge. This is unusual for any nice hotel, and especially for a suite. Maid service did not refresh with more complementary bottled water, coffee pods or chocolates after our first night. We had requested ice be delivered after being out all day, (especially since we knew there is no fridge) and when ice was delivered husband reported the unrefreshed items. We did then receive 2 bottles of water, coffee pods, cream & chocolate. The sound from the street was very loud at nighttime—fortunately we travel with a white noise machine. Otherwise we would have been sleepless. 21c should consider including white noise option for all rooms. Presume all guests should be offered similar pleasant sleep escape from disruptive loudness. We had breakfast only once at the Metropole, and service was extremely discombobulated and slow. Coffee was served in what seemed to be stoneware mugs, but was in reality plastic. Coffee was lukewarm. Tables were barely wiped clean. Restaurant’s chairs, booths and tables were stylish, though appeared to be very worn. No offer of assistance with luggage by valets at any time, and the front double doors are not automatic. Would be nice to have a person assisting at the door at all times. Why are we paying for parking AND giving a tip to the valet if they are not really doing anything to help other than the required parking of cars? For a nicer hotel in a very good location, we agree that we’re disappointed, overall. With a bit more attention to detail at every turn, this would have been a truly fantastic experience. Sincerely, Kimberly and Arthur M.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. While we are pleased you enjoyed the upgraded suite, I sincerely apologize that so many aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. The cleanliness concerns, missing room amenities, inconsistent housekeeping service, breakfast experience, and lack of assistance from our valet team are all areas that require attention. Your experience is not reflective of the level of service and attention to detail we strive to provide. I will be sharing your feedback with our department leaders to address these concerns and identify opportunities for improvement. We truly regret that we left you disappointed, particularly after the positive experience you had during the reservation process. We appreciate your honesty and the opportunity to learn from your experience. Kind Regards, Brad Kramer | Front Office Manager

Location was great. Although there was art, the hotel seemed cold sterile. No ambiance. Over the weekend we stayed, the restaurant and bar were never open except once for breakfast on the day we left. Were not informed before or upon arrival. Staff was cool and aloof. Shower held standing water up to the ankle. Valet service was not very accommodating. The valets were not rude but didn't go out of their way to assist. Had to walk to the end of the street or to the alley to get into the car. No doorman to assist with unloading or loading baggage. A very tacky thing they did was have a glass bottle of water in the room, seeming it would be complimentary and perhaps a memento of your visit. Ah, no! My room did not have any indication otherwise. Fortunately, my second room had a note card explaining NOT to take it or you would be billed $40. My thoughts were, "How tacky!." Don't put it in the room then. How about a simple complimentary bottle of water? Also, you could not get your own ice. Someone had to get it for you! Thus, the feeling for the need of an obligatory tip. Again, tacky. Other locations of this hotel (21C Museum) may be great. I don't know. I would not want to stay at this one again and is a deterrent to try another 21C in another city. Sorry to tell you the truth, but I kept getting your emails wanting me to comment. I think you can do better.

Thank you for taking the time to share your candid feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not reflect the level of hospitality and comfort we strive to provide. While we are glad you enjoyed our location and appreciated the artwork, we regret that the overall atmosphere and service left you disappointed. We apologize for the lack of communication regarding the restaurant and bar closures, as well as the issues with your shower, valet service, and baggage assistance. We also understand your frustration regarding the in-room bottled water and ice service. These details should be clearly communicated and handled in a way that makes our guests feel welcomed rather than inconvenienced. Your comments regarding our team's approach to hospitality are especially important. We want every guest to feel genuinely welcomed, valued, and cared for throughout their stay, and we are sorry we fell short of that expectation. We appreciate your honest feedback and will share your concerns with our management team as we work to improve. We hope you might reconsider giving 21c another opportunity in the future and allow us to provide the warm, attentive, and memorable experience you deserve. Jake Mann | Director of Rooms T 51… | ja…

I had hoped to escape for one night of relaxation and luxury, but that wasn't what I got. First, check-in appeared to be a table at a coffee shop with people busy on their laptops, and a young woman chatting with on of the fellows. I didn't see any signage, so I asked the young man where to check-in, and he said right here. It turns out there was some issue with their credit card equipment so I had to fill out a paper to cover $100 of possible incidentals. He wanted me to sign it before he'd written in an amount. The whole thing was weird. I asked if there was room service, and he pulled out a flyer/menu from a folder and gave it to me.i asked if there was a restaurant in the hotel, and he told me it was closed. I was confused since it was only 6:30pm, and asked if it was because it's Monday...? I the said no, it was a special event. I asked about breakfast, and he said they'll be open then, and there should be a room service breakfast menu in my room. He gave me my key card, and told me where the elevator was. It was as if I needed to ask the right questions to get any info. Felt weird. I got upstairs, and found my room. (The direction signs off the elevator were confusing -- to me, it looked like my room was to the left. It wasn't.) I had to uncomfortably squeeze through one heavy door into a tiny "foyer" with doors for two different rooms. It looked like that heavy entry door could be deadlocked. I hoped the other room was unoccupied so no one would lock me out of my own room. The room was a nice size and I figured out how to adjust the thermostat. I didn't see the usual hotel information book nor any signs about checkout time or Wi-Fi password. The lifted the phone receiver to ask the front desk, but the phone didn't work, and the lamp's bulb was flickering. I then discovered that the TV didn't work, and there was dripping in the shower. So I went back down to the front desk, and they immediately contacted the engineer to go fix the problems. They pointed to some unlabeled numbers on the key's sleeve and said that was the Wi-Fi password. I noticed a sign by the elevator on the way back up -- it said the second floor galleries were closed for a special event. Bummer. Maybe I can see the art. In the morning. (Nope. The closed sign was still up the next day.) After extensive efforts by the repair guy, the TV finally worked, sort of. He never could bring up a guide, so I wrote down the channels I wanted. And I learned how to fidget with the connections on the back of the TV when the NO SIGNAL message appeared on the screen again. And again. The phone handset still didn't work, but I could use the speaker button to make a call. The repair guy explained that they were soon getting a new phone system. Repair guy replaced the lamp bulb. I showed him the dripping shower head, and he explained he'd have to take it apart to fix it. I was tired and hungry and told him they could wait till I left to fix it. I asked about snacks, and he told me there was a gift shop downstairs. So I had Oreos and water and trail mix for supper. The wastebasket was divided into two sections -- but both were marked with the recycle icon. That was just another weird thing. And the bedside clock wasn't plugged in. Just one more thing to have to figure out instead of just relaxing. My daughter later asked me if I used the spa services, to which I replied, "What spa services?" When I checked out, they seemed genuinely concerned about the inconveniences and even took off the charges for my "dinner." Plus side. Bed was comfortable. The built-in bankette was nice. Generous sized bathroom. I liked the large yellow penguin that changed locations. The engineer was terrific -- prompt and tried very hard to solve the problems.)

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize that your visit fell so far short of the relaxing and luxurious experience you had anticipated. From the check-in process and lack of clear information to the numerous maintenance issues in your room, we understand how frustrating and disappointing your stay must have been. While we are pleased that our engineer was responsive and made every effort to address your concerns, we recognize that you should not have had to spend your time troubleshooting basic room amenities. We also apologize for the lack of communication regarding our restaurant, gallery closures, and available spa services. These are important details our team should have proactively shared with you. We appreciate you recognizing the comfortable bed, spacious accommodations, and the efforts of our engineering team. We will share your feedback with the appropriate departments to address the areas where we fell short and improve the overall guest experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide the seamless, relaxing, and enjoyable stay you originally envisioned. Jake Mann | Director of Rooms T 51… | ja…
