Meh.
Hotel was ok, staff was very nice. Older hotel, there was nighttime security across the street at night due to recent violence. Wish I had known that before booking. Bed was uncomfortable. I do not recommend adding in breakfast, go find it elsewhere. Our food was cold even after it was freshly brought from the kitchen and there was only one person working and they were out of everything. She was very nice and did her best, but was definitely not a great customer experience.

Not horrible but rooms need updated. Bedside lamp had no outlet to plug it in. A/C not cool enough/added humidity. Deep cleaning would help. The shuttle service to Cincy was great and staff were helpful.

Okay Stay
Close to ballpark, food… AC in the room was poor and so was the sliding door to the bathroom that did not fully close. Staff was friendly and the room was clean.

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.

Close to $1 public transportation, restaurants, and highway. Staff was extremely friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Loved the in-room Dove shower products. Beds firm, pillows soft and not flat. Great stay at a great price.

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!
