Top Covington Hotel Reviews

Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean room! Great view of the river. Very impressed with this hotel and I stay in lots of hotels. Plus, I’m a germaphobe and I wasn’t at all worried about the cleanliness of the room. The bathtubs are slippery and could use grab bars, The beds weren’t the most comfortable—I could feel the springs—but I slept well. Parking wasn’t the greatest because the Marriott garage ticket dispenser didn’t work. So we had to park in the Embassy garage across the street. That was inconvenient. And it was hard to find the parking garage. But it was still a great experience. Overall, I give this hotel 5 stars."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter

8/10 Good

"Great location for the Music fest at Paycor stadium. Walking distance right across the bridge. Nice photo op behind hotel. Check in was quick. Room was clean and spacious. Small hiccup in restroom. Did not report, just cleaned it. I do think there should be a tv in bedroom as well. No laundry bags available. Really enjoyed the numerous outlets and the charging plate in the room. Kitchen section was useful. Breakfast had many options. Grits were very good. Omelet station stayed crowded. Although Bagels got stuck in toaster, many varieties to choose from. Managers reception was really cool. Many events going on, so it was difficult to get both beverages. The bottles of water from front desk were a plus. Staff were always smiling and willing to assist. Restaurant connected was very good. 6ntm. Although they do not take reservations, we needed a reservation for that weekend. Good place for groups, and couples We also enjoyed using the gest car tours for rides in the city."

We didn't do any shopping but Paycor Stadium is within walking distance. We took an Uber there for about 14 and walked the 1 mile back. Great place to stay!"

Pickle Factory Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and the cigar and bourbon room is beautiful. The only issue we had was the communication from the property manager was the print was so small it was difficult to read and the check out procedures in hotels.com were different than the procedures in the onsite manual (e.g. what/where to do with bedding and towels) - hopefully we did the right thing! 😊"
