Homewood Suites By Hilton Newport Cincinnati

10/10 Excellent

"I had no complaints on the property. We were only in town for one night however they made it feel amazing the whole time. My only issue was that the pool table was not open along a lot longer but The bar was nice. Everything was great. I didn’t like that the bar closed at 11 though. Which meant the pool table was unavailable the rest of the night."
