TNGriswolds Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Looking for affordable hotel near KI - shuttle service and free breakfast a plus. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Since I love Hampton Inn's, I would go to the Mason Hampton Inn. It's only a mile away from Kings Island, with free breakfast and around $100 per night, which may seem like a lot for just one night, but it is very nice and clean with the best beds out of any hotel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I believe the Kings Island Inn is the only one with a shuttle. Personally, I've always stayed there and have always had a good experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitthythroat Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 ^ You're referring to The Kings Island Resort & Conference Center, it is a very nice hotel, rather cheap, when I stayed there a few weeks ago, a two bed room was only 58 dollars a night. Free breakfast, & shuttle service to and from park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yeah, we always stay at a Hampton. every one of there locations are so clean. the prices are reasonable and the service is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Check the Fields Ertel (exit 19 off I 71) or Blue Ash (exit 15) areas..plenty of places..plus there are a couple of places aside from the KI hotel at exit 25 (which is just outside the north entrance to the park).

Oldiesmann Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The only thing to keep in mind with the shuttle service is that it stops at the passenger drop-off area out by the KI sign, so you'll still have a bit of a hike from there to the front gate. If that's not a big deal, then that hotel is your best bet as it's the closest to KI (excluding Great Wolf Lodge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah, we always stay at a Hampton. every one of there locations are so clean. the prices are reasonable and the service is great. Are you joking? I stayed there in May an thought it was the nastiest hotel I've ever stayed at. I'm not say you wrong but I just disagree with you opinion. No hard feelings. But I would say the Hampten inn. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think he quoted the wrong post, and was first talking about the Kings Island Resort and Conference Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdawg1998 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I made that face because he said it's a really nasty hotel then said "I would say Hampton Inn". Although, there is no dirty Hampton Inn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 ^^Haha yeah I was confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 We always stay at the Super 8. Its a very short drive from KI and there are plenty of places to eat (Arby's, McD's, Burger King) nearby. Its nothing special, but is fairly cheap and pretty clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I stay at a motel that has cheap rates, is clean. The motel is not my focal point of my trip as I would use it only as a place to relax and sleep after a day of fun. Kings Island or parks like it are the reason for the vacation and not the motel. I would rather stay at a Motel 6 or a motel like it instead of the HIlton's or Marriot's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I always use hotwire or priceline,when staying out of town.I always book with atleast an 85 percent or higher rating,unless its downtown Cincy where i will stay at Millinium for sometimes 47 dollars,they have a 75 percent rating,but for the money its not bad. I just looked on hotwire and they have some good deals on KI area hotels. 2 and a half star with 90 percent rating for 42 dollars,NOT BAD!

A.S.Coasters Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you are willing to pay for Great Wolf Lodge I say go there, plus it's walking distance from the entrance and has an indoor waterpark. Not to mention the rooms are very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I really enjoyed the Comfort Inn that's over on Montgomery road somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I would stay at the Dew Drop Inn (if there was one) in a heart beat if it had cheap rates and was clean and use the savings to spend in the park. I do not need the indoor water park, indoor pool, fancy restaurants/bars. The motel stay is not my focal point of the vacation but the park is.
