After seeing my niece graduate from college, our entire family and guests, all eight of us,…read moredescended on Coppin's restaurant for brunch. Normally, I find hotel food is just okay and nothing special, but Coppin's was a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, and our equally pleasant server quickly brought menus and asked what we would like to drink. When it was my turn, I happily ordered Coppin's Old Fashioned. I was the odd man out because everyone else ordered the Spring Manhattan. Judging by how quickly everyone's drinks disappeared, I'd say they were all very tasty. I was a little unsure about mine at first, so to make sure the quality and taste were consistent, I ordered a second, and it definitely was not a mistake. I ordered the B+G biscuits (which are made by hand according to server in the hotel) and gravy with an extra egg. Others at the table chose a variety of dishes, including the CVG, Cobb Salad, Bagel and Lox, and several other selections. Based on the clean plates all around the table, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. My wife ordered a sample of banana bread, and I was fortunate enough to snag a small bite, it was excellent. After we had all finished, everyone agreed that my niece had made an excellent choice for her graduation celebration brunch. As my wife and I made our way back to Louisville, we both commented that we would definitely return the next time we were in Covington.

Going back and forth on stars for this one. Me and around 30 of my coworkers came into town for a…read moretwo day workshop and they got us a room block at this hotel. I ended up being in the North Building and cracked up when I walked into my room and saw I was in one of the Lightwell Lofts (a few of us ended up in them by chance, guess they included them in our room block lol). While the room was super cool and beautiful, there was a lot to be desired. After taking a million photos of the gorgeous room, I quickly realized a major flaw - the bedroom is upstairs, the bathroom is downstairs, and the staircase between the two is a crazy narrow spiral staircase. As someone that gets up to pee in the middle of the night, having to traverse the spiral stairs was terrifying lol. One of my coworkers actually swapped with someone who had a "normal" room because he was worried about falling down the stairs. My downstairs tv wouldn't turn on. I fiddled with the remote a bit, tried rearranging the batteries, but couldn't turn it on. I used the ipad in the room to put in a maintenance request, but no one came. I figured I would just let the front desk know when I headed out to dinner that night. Hours later, the front desk calls me to see if anyone had come to fix the tv - they hadn't. The girl was very nice and apologetic, she said I sent the request in the middle of a shift change and someone had accidentally marked it as complete. So she said someone would be right up, and he did come up. Handed me a handwritten note and a $25 coupon for Coppin's which was totally unexpected and a very nice gesture. Turned out, he knew exactly what the problem was - he said the remote was broken and he was supposed to swap it out but forgot. Gave me a new remote and all was good. He also mentioned there is a second remote upstairs for that tv. After he left, I went to look for it - there was no second remote. We held our meetings in the Scheper Room, which was also beautiful. The room was absolutely freezing the first day and I'm someone that prefers it a touch colder and was uncomfortable. We had to get them to update the thermostat and then in the afternoon it was way too hot. We had food brought in from the hotel and it was all fine, nothing super memorable. There was soup at lunch but the sign didn't even say what it was - just "chef's choice." The Italian hoagies were way too big and needed to be cut in half, I couldn't even finish half of one. The salad with fruit/pecans/etc was my favorite though. They had the completely wrong password on the tables for the Wifi but thankfully we figured it out quickly that we just had to use the room password. The second day for breakfast, there was yogurt on the menu and even on the sign with all the food - but there was no yogurt. Some of my coworkers were specifically asking for yogurt so we had to request it directly because it was included and paid for. Box lunches to take to go on the second day which were fine, I had the chicken caesar salad wrap. Housekeeping didn't come to service my room until 5pm when I was in there getting ready for dinner, so I was not able to get the room serviced. Just asked them for some more coffee. My conditioner in the shower was empty but I didn't bother reporting it after the tv issue and I had my own conditioner with me, so used that. The lotion at the sink was so thick that I could not get it out of the bottle at all, I had to use q-tips to get it out (it was nice quality, just kinda useless if you can't get it out of the bottle lol). Great local offerings on the mini bar and in the fridge. My coworkers and I got a kick out of the "intimacy kits" because we were on a business trip haha. The Magic 8 ball was fun, I loved the conversation cards even though I just read a few of them to myself haha. Even with the bedroom upstairs, it was nice to have the big double closet in the bathroom hallway so I really was just in the loft to sleep and kept all my stuff downstairs. The location is great, lots of fun stuff right nearby. The courtyard is lovely. I would say this is a solid 3.5 stars but since we can't give half stars, I'll give it a 4 because the staff was overall very nice and quickly fixed any issues, just a little annoying that we had any issues at all.

I still had a restful stay.

Ironically, the same front desk attendants were working, which was a fun surprise. Unfortunately, this time my room had trouble cooling, likely due to the hot weather and all the sun coming in. It was hard to keep the thermostat at a comfortable temperature, event at night. So, I didn't sleep as well as I'd hoped. Despite that, I think I'll still come back the next time I'm in the area. I still need to fully check out the art gallery on the second floor!

Check-in was actually friendly. The lighting in the bathroom was great. The free breakfast had some interesting choices - not the standard things you see everywhere else in this price range. The store in the lobby made it super easy to grab a snack and charge it to my room. I found the room on Priceline and got a very good price, with no issues at all upon arrival. My only complaint - my King room had ample room, but the design was off, which resulted in a very dangerous clearance next to the right side of the bed. If you get up in the night, you may stumble and find yourself going right into the window - as I almost did. if you're alone, sleep on the other side of the bed - away from the window. If you're not... good luck! Other than the unfortunate spacing issue, this was an OK stay. On par with the new Holiday Inn Express in the area but can be had for much cheaper.

I missed this hotel when initially researching in the Florence area. It was when I looked at the…read moreArk Encounter / Creation Museum hotel partners on their website that I learned about where to stay while planning to visit them. The listed prices were the same as using another hotel website. I checked in early but did not know about the late check-in process as they do not have someone manning check-in 24 hours. It is individually owned so more focused on pleasing the guests. My stay was not perfect, but the employees went above to resolve the problems satisfactorily. For example, I could only get one TV station until it was reset appropriately. My studio room contents were mostly clean except mainly for some of the cabinet's dirty dishes, which I could see from the floor but too high to reach all of them; I did not inform the staff of the situation as I would have washed them before using anyway (because of Covid) with their supplied kitchen supplies. I liked the glass door for the shower in my studio room. I felt that the bathroom was a little small. The hotel could use a refreshing look with paint, but their holiday décor made it better. It was great to use their real silverware for cutting their fresh Gala apple and orange provided in their lobby's breakfast area. I was pleasantly surprised that they provided in my room and in the breakfast area organic green tea. For continental breakfast, they also provided different kinds of processed grab-and-go food; I mentioned my limited diet of no pork (as they had various shapes of sausage products) and of little salt and sugar; the attendant was willing to consider better options in the future. Apparently, microwave popcorn should have been supplied in my studio room so it was greatly corrected. I was informed, but not staying on Wednesday, that the hotel provides a variety of pizzas from Papa John on those days. A guest across from my room was loud as she yelled to her companion. So beware that the TV in your room, etc. can be heard from outside the room, but I could not hear others' noise while in my room. This hotel was centrally located around chained restaurants (with healthier First Watch and Cheddar's nearby), entertainment, shopping, and church. I recommend this hotel and would visit again if staying overnight.

Their listing should not be active on Hotels.com and allow customers to book same day if no one is working the hotel. He tried calling the hotel repeatedly. Hotels.com also had a representative trying to reach this hotel. After no success and over an hour of waiting and trying to reach someone, hotels.com moved his booking to another hotel. Beware when arriving after typical business hours. I've never heard of a hotel not having staff on site during the night, booking should've been closed so this could not happen.

We only put water bottles in it but they smelled after we took them out. The shower door leaks a ton of water! Like we had to use all the extra towels and washcloths to keep the floor from being flooded. We will stay again when in town.

The rooms aren't huge, but they're cozy, well-designed, and comfortable. It is perfect for a business trip where you just need a relaxing place to recharge. The location is a big plus, as it is easy to get around downtown and close to plenty of spots worth checking out. I also really enjoyed the hotel bar; they had a great drink menu and a good vibe for unwinding after a long day. One of the highlights was the front desk staff. The woman who checked me in was especially helpful and pointed me toward a fantastic coffee shop just a couple of blocks away, which ended up being a great find. All in all, a great stay. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Cincinnati.

Not feeling like walking or driving anywhere for food I ate here. The staff at the front desk said the food was quite good. A quick view of the limited menu and I chose a hamburger. You pretty much can't mess up a hamburger correct? About 25 minutes later the hamburger came out, including some really good french fries, and topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and what was supposed to be some special sauce. They forgot to add the sauce. Thought it was warm this hamburger had to be of the frozen variety of some type. It was cooked well done, and had absolutely no flavor. For only $12 you might expect that, but this was definitely one of the lesser burgers I've ever had.
