There are 2 elevators and only one was working. So going up-and-down took a lot longer, and we were also told we could use the service elevators, which ended up being an inconvenience for the workers because they would be packed with guests. We got there on a Thursday, and we ran into people who had been there since Sunday and said that the elevator was broken since then. So it took a long time for them to get them fixed. I understand that may not be in their control. But it was less than adequate when you consider there are 18 floors. The bathroom in our room was gross. There were what looked like bloodstains on the bathroom floor outside of the bathtub, as if someone had their period and the blood dripped on the floor and overall the floor looked like it hadn't been mopped in a long time. The bathtub had mold on the grout water dripped the entire time in the bathtub, and the bathtub was stained like rust. The hand towel rack fell off the wall when my husband went to dry his hands. The hallway was very dark and dingy. This hotel could definitely use a lot of updating. It was just an average hotel, and for some reason, I thought we were getting something better than this. Most of the staff was nice, and when we told them the issues that we had they decreased our bill. However, if I went back to that area, I would not stay there again. I would probably go across to the Courtyard where my brother and his family stayed, and they said it was, it's nice.

Decent location, old property in need of updates.

Staff was good. Property in general is old and needs a lot of updates. Hallways are very dark. Room in general seemed clean, but the hair dryer exterior surface was super dirty and sticky. Easy walk to the MainStrasse area. We did not eat at the restaurants. I’d probably stay at a more updated property if in Covington sgain.

Hotel seemed very ran down and neglected. There was mold and mildew in room. Bathrooms were poorly cleaned. Sheets were not cleaned had stains on them. Carpet and walls had stains as well. We were on the 15th floor and had to take stairs because we could only use the service elevator in the entire hotel for everyone very unsafe as it lead directly into the kitchen and was over crowded because so many people were trying to get down stairs. Property needs serious attention and remodeling. Looked nothing like online photos very misleading.

Reserved the premium king city view with balcony. Changed rooms 3 times trying to find a room that had somewhere to sit and not just a bed. Who would have thought a premium room would not have a place to sit. What does everyone do. Sit on the bed the whole time. We are older and cannot do that. Ridiculous you would even think guests would not like a place to sit. Never again. The staff did their best to find us a room with a couch or chair. They couldn’t so we left and was given a refund. If you like only having a choice to sit on the bed, this is the place for you. Unbelievable. Premium room? OMG.

I loved the view and how kind the staff were, my only complaints are that 3 of the 4 outlets by the bed were finicky at best and the sink water pressure was very on or off, but it was a comfortable and clean stay :) As someone with a lowered and bright pink art car, I was worried that something would happen to my car especially since I was too low to enter the garage, but all went perfectly well night after night. The breakfast was delicious and delivered as requested, and overall it was a wonderful time, this has been and still is my go-to hotel for my Cinci/NKY trips :)

This place is terrible. Don’t go. I’m still (12 days) after my stay trying to get the incidental's charge back. For two rooms that is $100. Staff is rude unhelpful. Dinning options, what dining options. Rooms smell weird. I could go on. It was a bucket list idea to stay here. Since I was little coming over the bridge I would see this hotel and I always wanted to stay here. Worst experience with a hotel in my life.

The location of the property was ok. What let it down was the proximity to freeways that had a lot of traffic on them, all night. The property itself is aged and needs renovating. Double glazed, or more, windows to keep out noise. Also, I went to get breakfast 15 min before it was scheduled to finish and no staff were around. An average experience at best.
