For Hotels & Hosts

Give your guests a
local they actually know

SideKick connects your guests with real Cincinnati locals — before they arrive. It costs you nothing, takes five minutes to set up, and gives your guests a reason to remember their stay.

Built for anyone hosting visitors in Cincinnati

If your guests are asking "what should I do while I'm here?" — SideKick is the answer you can give them.

🏨

Hotels

Add a SideKick QR code to your check-in materials, welcome packet, or lobby signage. Your guests get personalized local advice — you get a standout amenity that costs nothing.

🏠

Airbnb & Short-Term Rentals

Turn your welcome book into something guests actually use. A link to SideKick alongside your house rules tells guests: "we want your trip to be amazing." Superhosts love this.

🏢

Visitor-Facing Businesses

Visitor centers, event venues, conference hotels — anyone whose guests are new to Cincinnati and need more than a brochure. We make you look like you know everyone.

Zero setup. Zero cost. Real value.

Partnering with SideKick takes about five minutes and nothing out of your budget.

We handle the rest

Your guests chat with a SideKick directly. You get the credit for a better guest experience.

What your guests actually get

Most hotel "local guides" are outdated PDFs with the same chain restaurants everyone already knows. SideKick is a live conversation with a person who ate at that restaurant last week.

Guests can ask about their specific situation — traveling with kids, planning a late-night out, looking for something only locals know about. They get a real answer, not a filtered list.

  • Personalized recommendations based on their actual interests
  • Real back-and-forth conversation — not a chatbot, not a blog
  • Available before they arrive, so they can plan ahead
  • Genuine value — the kind of insider knowledge a travel app simply can't replicate
  • Works on WhatsApp — no app download, no account needed
