I feel like the hotel is a bit overpriced for the quality of the room, but it is close to the river. The area around the hotel is not great and I worried a bit about the belongings in my car as all the spots in front of hotel were taken and I had to park along the side that was dark (moving across the country was just too much to bring in), but I felt safe as an older woman. I would never book a hotel based on shower reviews, but the shower was amazing!!! :) Free parking was nice!

Our room was not cleaned, the hotel was dated and hallways smelled musty. The pool was very nice and well maintained. The front desk was not very helpful or knowledgeable.

The staff at the desk was very helpful. She suggested number of local places to eat and very friendly. The breakfast was good. The only thing we did not like was the plastic silverware and styrofoam plates for breakfast.

The hotel it’s was ok but the breakfast wasn’t the best. We paid extra for breakfast when we purchased the room. Breakfast was from like 5-11 am I think on Sunday morning. We went down about 8:30 and everything was pretty much wiped clean. The biscuit's and gravy, French toast, and a few other things were completely wiped out. We assumed they would replace but when we asked the guy who was working breakfast he said he wouldn’t be bringing out more. If it would have been a free breakfast included with our stay it would have been okay but we paid extra for the breakfast. We never said anything more to the staff but it was just kind of a letdown. The lady at the front desk when we checked in Saturday evening was very nice and helpful b

Very good convenient location to the greater Cincinnati area. Safe setting and great food choices right outside. Pool was nice and friendly staff.

Didn’t need parking but looked ample and easily accessible.

When i first reserved a room, I got one with double beds. We realized that we would be earlier than expected, and asked if we could check in earlier because we were traveling with a dog and wanted to get him settled before heading out. When we got there, the receptionist suggested a different room with a double bed and a pull out. We took it and it was perfect! Thank you Holiday Inn! Excellent!!

Front desk rep was very nice! Hotel is showing its age somewhat. Smelled musty in hallways. Room was very small. Bathroom and shower was the best part of the stay- looked like it had been updated. Beds were hard and not very comfortable. Ok for a one night stay.

The property is exactly what you expect a Holiday Inn to be. It’s in good condition and was clean. The staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. There is a train fairly close to keep in mind when packing. We bring a small portable fan for white noise and didn’t hear the train when that was on.

The staff at check in was wonderful...the room was clean and well taken care of. Its an older hotel, but still nice. The area around the hotel seems sketchy a bit and there were no lights in the back parking lot which doesn't seem very safe. My only realy complaint was at breakfast. A couple of items were empty by 9am, and no more was brought out. If full, the breakfast buffet would be nice, but the people working didn't seem concerned. I would still recommend this hotel...comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom. Go elsewhere for breakfast.

The shower backed up. No shampoo & conditioner in the shower. There was trash in all the trash cans upon arrival & a dirty sock in the sofa bed. Called to get linens for the sofa bed & front desk says I had to come get them myself. Won't be staying at a Holiday Inn anytime soon.

Staff was friendly and resolved keycard issues instantly. Room was clean and so was the rest of the property. My only two complaints were the bathroom door being kind of annoying (sliding glass door) and the bed was rather stiff. Other than that, I would not mind returning for my next trip to the Cincinnati area. Great stay with plenty of restaurants nearby.

Property and rooms are extremely outdated. Surrounding area does not seem very safe and except for fast food spots there are no sightseeing or activities within 15min walking distance, maybe 40min at the least but again area around hotel does not appear safe enough to be walking around. Hotel itself was pretty old and not as pictured. Unfortunately I wouldn't stay here again.

The room was a little dinghy, the shower needs a good scrub, the curtain had a little gap where I had to use my hair clips to keep it closed. Someone left their food in the refrigerator. Bring your own charging blocks and cords. It was difficult for my child with special needs to sleep due to the noise of the train and vehicles crossing the bridge. It was pretty scary when the police had to enter my room and try to use the connecting door to enter the room next to me due to a personal concern. The staff were kind. Breakfast was good although you have to pay for it.

I selected this after flights delayed two days and wanted a cheaper hotel from where I’d attended conference in Cincy.
I opted not to add breakfast.
Property looks rough on outside especially compared to nearby hotels. I was concerned. However, the inside was very nice. Very comfortable bed. Great shower. Keurig in room. Updated room. Older ac/heat. Can hear highway noise. We walked to Braxton’s Brewery. Felt very safe. Lots of public transit around. Friendly staff. Great value. Highly recommend. Would choose again especially if trying to save money.

The hotel is so dated and the rooms are tiny. The bathroom was dingy and the exhaust fan didn’t even work. There were 2 lamps with blown out bulbs and the tv was so old the remote would barely turn the station. Not to mention they shut the water off sometime while we were sleeping so when we woke up we couldn’t brush our teeth, shower, or use the restroom. There were signs posted saying that the water would be turned off… However that would’ve been nice to know before booking. A shower would’ve been really great when I woke up this morning

Have stayed at this hotel several times now. Checkin and out was smooth and easy, room was clean and we had no issues. Kristina at the front desk was a star as always. The only downside is the breakfast, its not complimentary and not close to be worth $10.95 they charge for it. Limited options and we went at 7 am when it says open at 6:30 and it wasnt completly set up and was luke warm at best for what was there.

Computer system was down all afternoon… could not check in guests until making adjustments and finally giving people room keys closer to 4:00. Some folks had been in the lobby since 1:00pm… no offer of anything, water, coffee… lights stayed off in the lounge ( could have at least turned those on since many people waiting were sitting there in the dark) … front desk staff were frustrated I’m sure, but were rather rude to guests coming in the door… hopefully just an out of the ordinary occurrence… the location is great for the ballparks… 1.3 mile walk to the stadiums….

I'm disappointed in the holiday inn. The key system was down and needed the front desk to manually open doors. And the hotel was sold out, so checking in was a nightmare. There was a wait to get escorted to the room. It was an inconvenience
