Liked: Room comfort
The Radisson Hotel Cincinnati Riverfront is a nice, comfortable hotel with clean rooms and good overall presentation. The property itself is well-kept and suitable for business or short stays. That said, there are a few things guests should be aware of. In addition to the standard incidental hold (around $50), self-parking is an extra $10 per day, and valet service is not available. There are also occasional homeless individuals asking for money in the parking lot area, which may be uncomfortable for some guests. The revolving restaurant is only open on select days, so don’t plan on it being available daily for breakfast or dinner. For meals, you’ll likely need to leave the property and visit nearby fast-food or casual options such as Burger King, White Castle, McDonald’s, or Chipotle. This location is not downtown Cincinnati, and amenities differ from properties like The Blu Hotel Blue Ash (Ascend Collection), which offers a stronger breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a solid stay if you know what to expect and plan accordingly.

1 hour before checking in I contacted the hotel to see if the fixed the cold water issue with the pool. I was assured the pool heater was fixed and nothing to worry about. When I arrived I noticed the pool was closed and would hopefully open sometime that night. If they were just refilling the water the staff agreed it would ice cold. The hotel denied my request for a refund.
