Surprised by having to pay for parking and the breakfast. Neither one was very good. Most of the people were nice. Room was handicapped which we didn’t ask for and the room smelled. Needs some upgrades for sure.

IHG RIVERFRONT HOLIDAY INN STAY WAS GREAT!
The only disappointment was there was not breakfast accommodation. But there was a breakfast place across the street-WAFFLE HOUSE. @10.95 a person at the hotel, our best choice was WH. VA visiting Family in Cincinnati!

We enjoyed our stay and found the room clean and staff friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast was good as well. However, the air conditioning in our room was not working properly. It was so hot! No sleep for us. Totally miserable.

Breakfast
If you are going to service breakfast you need to work on that. We got there around 8:30 and you were out of eggs. Since eggs and toast were all we wanted they gave us our money back which was nice. We ate at McDonald’s

This place was so so. Not clean enough to be charging $300 for one night. First and last time staying there. If you just need a place to rest your head, and this is the only place available, you’re good.

We stayed here for the Bengals game. This hotel is conveniently next to, 2 trolley stops which will take you into Cincinnati for $1, children are free, and the ride is very short, about 5-10 minutes. The hotel staff is kind, friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and spacious. Their outside pool was well kept and clean! I don't know about the breakfast because we never woke up early enough. But no worries, there's a Waffle House across the street. Along with McDonald's, Burger King, Skyline Chili, and a pizzeria. If the fast food is not your thing, we ate at restaurants in Cincinnati, since it was a short $1 ride. We will definitely stay here again.

Old, Dark, Dingy, Dirty Sheets
Do yourself and pay the extra few dollars to stay at one the surround nicer hotels. This place was very gross and made me and my spouse extremely uncomfortable. The interior is very old, dark, and dingy. This hotel needs a major update. I felt like I was walking down “Bates Hotel” on my way to my room. There was a community microwave right outside the elevators which was just very odd. The rooms were beat up. The windows were horrendous. Only one side of the bed had plug ins. As soon as I got into the room I checked for bedbugs because I was getting that vibe. The bathroom light switch had filth baked in it. But the cherry on top was when I pulled the top blanket back the follow morning to make sure I had gotten everything and I noticed we had slept in dirty sheets. Complete repulsive!
