When it gets close to game day too and any of you guys are tail gating and going to the game let me know, I'd love to swing by and say hello before watching our first win of the season!

As for stuff to do the zoo is brilliant, kings island was always good as a kid, ruby’s is a must if you’re making a special trip.

The Connector is the rail system that goes from Over The Rhine to the Banks (where both stadiums are) and it's free. There are many fine restaurants in OTR. Don't be afraid to go there. It's far safer than it was 10 or 15 years ago. My daughter lives there and feels totally safe.

Any of the ones right across the bridge in Ky are good and highly recommend getting a Skyline view room for a little more $.

Cincinnati has good ones as well but nothing compares to the Skyline view rooms in Ky imo. They have such an incredible view of the stadiums and the city as well with it reflecting off the river making it a very picturesque scene.

Easy walk across bridge or they have buses that run every 5 minutes or so to the stadium for only a $1. Parking is much cheaper on this side too, plus less traffic to the freeway if leaving afterwards.

I mentioned before that I travel quite a bit for work and the first thing I do us check for the nearest Embassy Suites. The breakfast and "social hour" make it well worth the cost I've not been to the one in Cincy area, but they are a franchise, so I'd imagine it's of similar quality. The best one I've been to is in DC.

If you decide on Embassy, make sure you join Hulton's Rewards Program..The only thing I'll add to the other suggestions is The Bearcats have a home game that weekend, You might want to see about making a weekend of it. Hell if you can stay a couple days, the Reds are in town against Pitt the next day. Bearcats on Saturday, Bengals on Sunday, Reds on Monday

The $1 shuttle is right outside and they run through the city as well if you plan on going other places than the game. Plus, if you decide to have an adult beverage, you don’t have to worry about driving. Here is a map & list of destinations for the shuttles. Plus, they run so frequently you won’t find yourself waiting and the shuttles are well maintained. https://cincinnatiusa.com/sites/default/files/Southbank-Shuttle-Map-2018.pdf

My question is, what nice hotel do you recommend walking distance to Paul Brown stadium and any places to explore in the city Bengals related for my boys to enjoy and soak in the Bengaldom 100%?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to week 1!
