Cincy's HOTTEST Hotel Near the Convention Center: LivINN!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the wild, wonderful, and occasionally slightly chaotic world of LivINN! Hotel, Cincy's self-proclaimed (and, let's be honest, probably accurate) HOTTEST hotel near the convention center. Forget those sterile, cookie-cutter reviews – you're getting the real, unfiltered me. Ready? Let's GO!
First, the Obvious Stuff (But We'll Spice It Up): Accessibility, Internet, & Basic Needs
Alright, let’s rip the band-aid off. Accessibility? LivINN! seems pretty good. The website boasts "Facilities for disabled guests," which is a start. We're talking elevators, presumably ramps (although I don't have personal experience, a quick call to confirm is your best bet – always!). More specifically, they do offer "Wheelchair accessible" options in rooms, which is a massive green flag. Important: double-check when booking to secure what you need. Accessibility matters.
Then there’s the internet, the lifeblood of modern existence. The website screams "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet access – wireless!" and "Internet access – LAN!" Translation: You will be connected. They're practically throwing internet at you. Praise be. That "Free Wi-Fi" is the modern traveler's mantra, and LivINN! delivers. I personally needed reliable internet, and thank goodness, they nailed it.
CLEANLINESS & SAFETY: More Important Than Ever
Okay, here’s where LivINN! REALLY shines, and given gestures wildly at the world, this is HUGE. They're talking about "Anti-viral cleaning products" and "Daily disinfection in common areas" and "Rooms sanitized between stays." Seriously, that's music to my germaphobe ears. I'm a little obsessed with clean. Then there's the "Professional-grade sanitizing services".
They list "Hand sanitizer" stations all around, and "Staff trained in safety protocol." They seem to take the whole "germs are bad" thing seriously, which I find deeply reassuring. Look, I want to relax, not spend my trip stressed about catching something. The "Room sanitization opt-out available" is also smart – some people are super sensitive and might prefer to let their room breathe – a nice touch.
Let's Talk Dining, Because Food Is LIFE (Okay, Maybe Just Very Important)
Right, food. A hotel's food game can make or break a stay. LivINN! has some options! They claim a "Breakfast [buffet]" and "Breakfast takeaway service," which sounds handy. Though, the term "breakfast in room" makes me think of those weird little breakfast nooks that are always a little…off. I'm hoping for decent coffee and something more interesting than a stale croissant, but for the convenience, I can't complain.
They're advertising "Restaurants" and "Coffee shop," which is very promising. The "Poolside bar" has potential! Drinks, sun, people-watching…sounds like a good time. I could definitely use a stiff drink after a convention, don't you think? They also have "Room service [24-hour]". This is clutch, folks! You never know when a late-night craving for a burger or a sneaky snack attack will hit.
There is also a "Happy hour". Happy hour? Yes, please.
Things to Do (And Ways to Relax - HEAVEN!)
Ah, the sweet serenity! LivINN! boasts the usual suspects, plus some pleasant surprises.
- The Pool and Sauna Dream: First, the "Swimming pool [outdoor]" is a HUGE plus. And the "Pool with view" is a dream. I'm a sucker for a good pool, especially after a day of schmoozing or (let’s be real) pretending to schmooze. Plus! "Sauna", "Spa/sauna" and "Steamroom," a triple threat of relaxation? Yes, please! I want to be a soggy, relaxed mess.
- Fitness Fanatic: A "Fitness center" is available. This is great if you're one of those people who actually uses them, which I am not, but it’s nice to have the option, I guess.
- Extra Perks: And I have to say, “Couple’s room” sounds potentially romantic.
Rooms: The Real Deal
Here's the nitty-gritty of the rooms. I'll be honest, a hotel room can make or break the whole experience. Thankfully, LivINN! seems to understand this.
- Essentials Covered: They're promising "Air conditioning," "Coffee/tea maker," "Free bottled water," and "Hair dryer." The basics, thank goodness.
- The Little Luxuries: I’m a big fan of “Bathtub,” which can be a glorious oasis after a long day of meetings. Bathrobes are also a fantastic touch. And the "Desk" and "Laptop workspace" are crucial for getting work done.
- The Details That Matter: They're showing "Blackout curtains," which is amazing. I LOVE sleeping in, and that’s vital. They claim "Soundproofing", too, which could save your sanity.
- The Geeky Stuff: "Satellite/cable channels," and "Wi-Fi [free]" and "Internet access – wireless" Again with the access!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Make a Difference
This is where a hotel can really shine. LivINN! promises "Daily housekeeping," which is a win, I’m a messy person. "Dry cleaning" and "Laundry service" are lifesavers when you're traveling for work. I'm especially excited about “Doorman,” I’m a sucker for a good doorman.
There's also "Concierge," which is perfect for tackling those last-minute errands or getting recommendations.
Getting Around and Other Extras
They offer "Car park [free of charge]" and "Car park [on-site]". These are essential if you drove in (and are, hopefully, not paying for expensive parking). They also have "Airport transfer," "Taxi service," and "Valet parking," too.
My Personal Take
Okay, here’s the raw truth: I haven’t personally stayed at LivINN! yet. This review is a deep dive based on their website, and my relentless pursuit of the perfect hotel experience. But, based on the info, I'm intrigued. I'm a sucker for a clean room, reliable Wi-Fi, and a good pool (and a bar, always a bar). The safety measures are a major draw. And, honestly, all that relaxation sounds amazing.
The Big Question: Should YOU Book?
Here's the deal. If you're in town for the convention, you need a clean, convenient, and relaxing basecamp. Based on what I've seen, LivINN! delivers.
BUT…double-check those accessibility confirmations. Call them, email them, make sure they can accommodate your needs. That's the golden rule.

Unbelievable Billings Deals: Sleep Inn's Secret Paradise Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because here's the raw, unvarnished truth of my trip to the LivINN Hotel Cincinnati/Sharonville Convention Center. Don't expect a perfectly-lined-up itinerary, 'cause that's not how I roll. Think more… controlled chaos.
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for Wifi – Oh, the Humanity!
4:00 PM - Arrival and the Great Hotel Shuffle: Okay, so the drive here was… well, it was a drive. Let's leave it at that. Finally, I pull in. The hotel looks… like a hotel. You know, beige, reliable, the kind of place that promises a continental breakfast and maybe an indoor pool. I get to reception. "Room key, please," the guy says, deadpan. I’m immediately feeling drained. He hands me the key. “It’s on the third floor, near the elevator.” Near the elevator. Oh joy. I’ve heard all the elevator horror stories. The room better have a decent view.
4:45 PM - The Wifi Witch Hunt: Okay, first things first: wifi. Can't survive without it. Gotta check emails, doomscroll on the news (don't judge!), and, uh, browse travel blogs, you know, for research. The wifi is… a struggle. It's like trying to wrestle a greased pig. Eventually, after about ten minutes of fiddling with the log-in, I'm connected. Victory! At least temporarily.
5:30 PM - Dinner Debacle (or, "I'm Starving!"): The hotel restaurant is… well, let's say it's got potential. I order whatever looks easiest. While waiting for my food, the lady next to me is loudly complaining about her soup. “It tastes like dishwater, I tell you!” This is not a good sign. Of course, my meal (chicken tenders) arrives with a side order of… disappointment. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since the Mesozoic Era. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that bad. I ate it anyway because, hello, I was STARVING.
7:00 PM - Room Reconnaissance & The Elevator of Doom: The room. Clean enough, I suppose. A view of the parking lot with a view of a dumpster. The AC is loud, like a dying robot. I test the elevator! It works! Thank God! I made it out alive. Now, to recharge for tomorrow.
Day 2: Convention Center Complications and the Allure of the Local
8:00 AM - Breakfast (and a Battle for Butter): Continental breakfast! Promises of a good morning. The waffle machine is a warzone. People are serious about their waffles. I finally achieve waffle supremacy. Sadly, there isn't enough butter. I have to ask for more.
9:00 AM - Convention Center Chaos: The Convention Center. Large, echoing, and populated by what seems like a thousand people. Attending the event I'm here for. Overwhelming maybe. I get lost. Several times. I trip over an extension cord. My notes get jumbled. It's a beautiful mess!
12:00 PM - Lunch, Alone (and a Moment of Truth): Lunch break. I eat alone in the hotel restaurant, reflecting on the morning. Are those chicken tenders from last night really still haunting me? The soup lady from last night gives me a sideways glance. I look a mess. Whatever.
2:00 PM - Convention Center Again (More Chaos): Back to the convention. More handshakes, awkward greetings, and what feels like a never-ending stream of presentations.
5:00 PM - Local Exploration (a Beacon of Hope!): Finally, freedom! I decide to ditch the whole convention thing for a bit and explore Sharonville. I find a cute little diner - The food is amazing. I try to stay optimistic.
Day 3: Farewell, Cincinnati – Or, "Maybe I'll Come Back?"
8:00 AM - Breakfast Again (with a Side of Regret): One last waffle. Seriously, how does everyone else get theirs so perfect? I attempt again. Fail again. I'm starting to fear the waffle machine.
9:00 AM - The Convention's Bitter Sweet Finale: The event is ending. I collect my final brochure and awkward goodbyes.
10:00 AM - Packing (The Art of Leaving): I pack my bags. A mix of relief and sadness. I leave.
11:00 AM - Departure: I drive away.
Final Thoughts:
The LivINN Hotel Cincinnati/Sharonville Convention Center was… an experience. It had its ups and downs. The wifi, the elevator, the chicken tenders… They'll all stay with me. Would I go back? Maybe. Definitely not with that waffle machine. But hey, at least I survived to tell the tale. And that's what makes a trip, right? The chaos, the mess, the little moments of triumph and despair… all of it. Now, time to plan the next adventure!
Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Family Villa Awaits in Higgovale!
Alright, spill it! What *is* LivINN! Really like? I'm talking... genuinely.
Okay, lemme tell you. LivINN! is… a *vibe*. Imagine your super-organized, slightly stressed-out aunt's guest room, but with a little more... flair. It's clean-ish (mostly!), the staff is *generally* friendly, and you're *definitely* closer to the Cincy action than your couch. Don't go expecting the Ritz. Go expecting a place to crash, recharge, and maybe, just maybe, stumble back into after a few too many beers at a Bengals game. (Speaking of which…)
How close ARE we talking to the Convention Center? Because 'near' can mean anything.
Okay, THIS is their main selling point. *Seriously* close. Like, "I'm late for the conference, so I literally sprinted and made it" close. I once saw a guy practically roll out of bed, into his suit, and onto the sidewalk. Then he *walked* to the convention center. It was beautiful. You could probably wear your PJs and still make it on time. You're pretty golden if you're attending a convention, trade show, or really any event there.
Let’s talk about the rooms. What can I expect? I'm a simple person.
Simple suits you just fine, friend. Think… functional. The beds are… there. They’re clean-ish. The pillows… well, let's just say they're not the fluffy, cloud-like kind. They get the job done. The bathrooms? Basic but functional. The water pressure is, thankfully, usually acceptable. There's usually a TV, which is good for zoning out. Don't go expecting luxury, and you won't be disappointed. Actually I'm getting flashbacks to the time I tried to watch a movie on the tiny TV and ended up face-planting on the bed because the remote was acting up. Ugh. But hey, you're not there to *live* in the room, right? You're there to sleep, shower, and maybe change your pants. (Important, especially after those Bengals tailgates…)
Breakfast. Is it… edible? Please, just be honest.
Okay, deep breaths. Breakfast at LivINN! is... a *breakfast*. They've got the continental breakfast staples: cereal, toast, some questionable pastries that have seen better days, and the coffee isn't *terrible*, but it's not gonna win any awards. It's free, and it'll fill a hole. Lower your expectations and you'll be fine. Once I was there on and the scrambled eggs were rock-hard, and, well, I went for toast. Sometimes, you just gotta. Also, there's almost always a waffle maker. And I will *always* take a waffle. Don't expect culinary masterpieces. Expect sustenance. And maybe a waffle.
Parking. Is it a nightmare? Because I'm already picturing myself circling the block for an hour.
Okay, parking… *sigh*. It's not the worst, but it's not the easiest either. They *do* have parking, but it can fill up. It depends on the event at the Convention Center. Plan ahead. Try to arrive early. If push comes to shove, there are other parking options nearby, but they'll likely come at an extra cost. Don't let me scare you too much though. Just be prepared to possibly walk a block or two.
Can I walk to any cool stuff? Like, is there anything fun nearby?
Oh, YES. You're in *downtown* Cincinnati, baby! You're close to all the good stuff. You can walk to lots of bars and restaurants, the Banks (the entertainment district), and even the Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds (if you're into that sort of thing – I am!). There's plenty to see and do within a reasonable walking distance. You know, if your feet can handle it after those aforementioned Bengals tailgates.
Let's talk about Wi-Fi. Do they *really* have it, or am I going to be tethering to my phone the whole time?
They *do* have Wi-Fi. It's… okay. Sometimes it's lightning fast. Other times… well, let's just say it's perfect for checking your email, but streaming a movie might be a challenge. Your mileage may vary. Don't expect fiber-optic speeds. If you’re there for serious work, consider a backup plan, maybe your phone's hotspot.
Best thing about LivINN?!
Location, location, location! And the price, relatively speaking. Seriously, the proximity to the Convention Center is gold. That's the whole shebang. The fact you can roll out of bed, onto the sidewalk, and into a conference presentation with minimal human interaction is a HUGE win. Also, it's a decent launching pad for exploring the city.
Worst thing about LivINN?!
Honestly? Consistency. Some stays are smooth sailing. Others? Well, let's just say issues can arise. Maybe the elevator is out (happened to me once after a particularly *enthusiastic* evening – climbing five flights of stairs in my condition felt like a personal Everest). Maybe the AC is wonky. It's not a super-luxe experience, so prepare to be flexible. That said… the staff *usually* tries to fix any problems. But if you are expecting the best, be prepared for some letdowns.
Would you recommend LivINN!?
It depends. If you need to be at the Convention Center every waking moment? Absolutely. If you're on a budget and want a good location? Probably. If you need luxury, a pristine experience, and are easily triggered by slightly stained carpets? Run, don't walk, to the nearest Hilton. I've had good stays and not-so-good stays at LivINN!. Think of it like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get. But hey,Hotelicity
