The office on East Seventh Street
Reserve a stay in writing, or speak to a travel agent in Cincinnati
Two ways reach this office and both end in the same written offer. A note sets out the nights. A call is the quick way to speak to a travel agent in Cincinnati about a road before any of it goes on paper.
Nothing is held here until the office has written back and you have said yes to what it wrote. No part of a stay is ever paid for through these pages.
Three kinds of note, three waits
A first note, from somebody who has not settled on a stay yet, is answered within one working day. The answer usually asks a question back, because the number of nights decides which roads are worth printing for that person.
A question about a stay that is already reserved moves ahead of the rest and is answered the day it arrives. Small questions count here, because a reservation that already exists is the one thing a delay can actually damage.
A change of dates is the slow one, and the office says so rather than pretending otherwise. The answer is not the office's to give: whoever holds the room has to reply first, and that reply sets the pace. The office writes when it arrives, and writes in the meantime if the wait is running into days.
The number and what it can settle
The number is +1 (513) 744-0219. It suits short questions: how many hours a road actually runs, whether five nights change the arithmetic, whether a stay works for two cars instead of one.
A call settles nothing on its own. No stay is held by voice, no figure is agreed by voice, and no payment is taken here at all. Whatever is said out loud is repeated in writing before it counts for anything.
Clock hours are not printed on this site. A printed hour the office fails to keep is worse than no hour at all, so the waits above are what it publishes instead. A call that finds nobody can be turned into a note, and the note falls under the same three waits.
Where the mail lands
Written mail reaches Suite 500, 35 East Seventh Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. The same address stands in the footer of every page here and at the top of every written offer, so the two can be held against each other.
It is one room in one city, and the office works a single radius out of it. Road figures on this site are measured from Fountain Square rather than from this address, so a reader starting anywhere near the middle of town can use them as printed.
Questions this office cannot take
Some mail arrives asking for things that sit outside this office. It books beds and the parts arranged around them. Seats, sailings, rail and coach are somebody else's work, and nothing reserved here moves a person anywhere; the traveler's own car does that.
Insurance for a trip, visas and passports are three more. The office does not sell them, does not arrange them and will not advise on them, in writing or out loud.
A note asking for any of that still gets an answer inside the same waits. The answer names what the office can do instead: measure the road, price the nights, and put the whole of it in writing.
Start with the number of nights
Tell the office how many nights you have. Everything else follows from that number, including whether the drive is worth making at all.
