Get away from reality!

by acousticjunkie

spazzoomtown, I agree with you. Great sense of humor!

I have stayed in this hotel for many years and have nothing bad to say! The staff knows me by name, they greet me every time I check in with a smile on their face despite what tards they end up checking in on a day to day basis.

I tell all of my friends and family to come to the Wildwood Inn. None of them has ever had an issue with the hotel. I always have so much fun staying at this hotel. Yeah, it's romantic. As a matter of fact, it's a great place to get away from my hectic job, get away from reality, annoying things in life. Sure, it might drown away the issues I deal with for less than 24 hours, but it's worth the money, it's worth the time, it's worth it all to get away in a fantasy. And better believe me, I take advantage of it!

So if you're uptight, boring and looking for something a little less enchanting, I hear Knights Inn is cheap. You're in walking distance from Wendys, which is a plus.

I will always regard the Wildwood as my favorite hotel in the Cincinnati area. I will come here as long as I need a nice hot tub, a pool, a fantasy world to get away from my boring yet stressful life. I suggest you do the same at least once.

• Pros: the entire stay! every stay
• Cons: nothin!

a different experience in the tri state area!

Teresa1234, I think it is time for you to get over yourself. these people have put a lot of time and work into making this place what it is. I'm sorry that your high maintanence mentality has caused your average lifestyle to be distorted. I think it is time for you to either have the money to spend at a high dollar establishment outside Florence or understand that we are average middle class society. there is nothing wrong with this hotel other than maybe missing the mints on the pillow; but hell, if you where in the Jurassic period a mint would be a leaf! So, in a finishing; go graze a field!!!

• Pros: Out of the ordinary
• Cons: Out of the ordinary

The good and the bad.....

by JennaGadd

When you go by the reviews it may make you think twice about staying there. I read them. The good ones are really good, the bad ones are really bad. Really no way to be neutral. I called the hotel, SEVERAL times. Each time I spoke with someone (I tried to call every shift) I was pleasantly surprised at the level of customer service I encountered. THEY WERE NICE and HONEST! What more could I ask for? Why not call the hotel itself? Why not also rely on the people that see this hotel every single day? Yes, they were honest, candid and considerate!

So I arranged a visit to view a few theme rooms and regular rooms. The staff was friendly! Yes, the hotel does need updating. Some halls are a bit dirty. This is true. The outer building not near the pool is a bit older and the rates are cheaper due to the distance from the pool. My opinion is that is where most of the people stay that want a cheap room-and most of the time the clientele you get in those rooms can be unsavory.

The rooms were normal. They consisted of the basics. This hotel is not franchise. This is not a Hilton. You pay for an experience or something different. If you are expecting Hilton quality with many perks then this is not your hotel. You either love this place or you hate it, which is pretty well noticed from the reviews. The regular rooms were decent. Nothing fancy, fairly basic. The pool area, though it needs some touch ups, was really nice, despite what others say. I also enjoyed the theme rooms I viewed and actually booked one.

I can't say anything bad about this hotel. What I can say is that YES it does need updating. I asked all the questions most of you are thinking in your head as you look to see if it's worth spending $300 for a theme room. It is. It is, call the people, do your research, visit if possible. They are caring people, they put a lot of heart into this hotel regardless of what minor imperfections it might have.

• Pros: theme rooms, staff, pool area, free breakfast
• Cons: needs some renovations
