    YE Gurl Says: Staycation Style at Hotel Covington Place: Hotel Covington - Covington, KY Stay: While the beau was off at medical training Sometimes a "tag-along" trip turns into its own little getaway--and Hotel Covington made that easy. The first thing that caught my eye? That curved headboard, giving full Santorini meets Arhaus vibes. Add in the playful wallpaper and chic furnishings, and the room felt both cozy and curated. The hotel sits right in the heart of a revitalized downtown pocket that somehow channels Nawlins energy--a central courtyard, lively atmosphere, and the kind of hum you only get when a space is loved by locals and travelers alike. It's easy to see why so many weddings and events happen here; there was one in full swing during my stay, adding a little sparkle to the night air. Though I was only there two days tops, it left a strong impression. If you don't mind the short drive over the bridge into Cincinnati, this spot delivers the perfect balance between boutique charm and city access. YE Gurl says: Hotel Covington is where southern warmth meets design-magazine detail--ideal for a quick getaway, a romantic weekend, or just tagging along while bae's busy saving lives.

    Exceptional hotel experience. We chose valet since in city, and the staff was kind and helpful. Front desk experience was quick. The bar is surprisingly a lively fun environment and had a good crowd in the evening. Our room had a comfortable bed, stylish decor and was very quiet. The room darkening curtains work well and we got a sound nights sleep. The coffee bar downstairs in the morning has a free plain brewed coffee as a guest, or they can whip you up any magical concoction you want to pay for. Every detail was exceptional. The hotel is located within all g distance of quirky bookstores like hierophant and Hedge, restaurants like Epic Tacos and you could keep yourself busy without using your car.

    Covington, KY is such a cute town and just across the bridge from Cincinnati. We heard Hotel Covington was the jewel, so we decided to stay here for a friend's wedding. It did not disappoint! Beautiful lobby! Great staff and service. Our room was charming and swanky. LOVED the bathroom. There's tons of restaurants and shops along the same block, so there's no less of a good time and little to no need for ride share.

    We stayed at the new Hotel North. We decided to do a little staycation night across the river in Covington. I'm pretty sure we were the first people to ever stay in the room. There was some painter's tape in the bathroom and closet area. Also, when the blow dryer was running in the bathroom, the lights would flicker in the bedroom. I don't think the place is haunted, just an electrical issue but still spooky! Good thing I'm a strong guy. Also, it was weird that although the hotel was pretty empty, they placed us in a room right by a big fan blowing in the hallway. Seemingly to dry a leak? That said, the hotel is beautiful. It's very cool. The fixtures and accents in the room are sick. Clean lines. My style. The bed was super comfortable. Great blackout curtains. Great location. Very clean.

    Had such an amazing experience here. Sometimes when you book at an independent hotel, you don't know what to expect. And in the past, we've had a really poor experience booking with an independent hotel. However, from booking to check out -- this experience was 5 stars. The hotel is beautiful, the staff goes above and beyond (so friendly), the room itself was high quality (down to the little things), and the restaurant Coppins did not disappoint either. I understand why this hotels reputation is stellar. If we find ourselves in Kentucky again, we certainly will book here again. I couldn't have asked for anything more, if you're looking for somewhere to stay in Covington, please give this place a shot!

    Beautiful hotel! Room was fantastic. Definitely has an upscale feel throughout the building. Only issue was the bar service. Very disorganized and understaffed. Massive lines for 1 bar tender while 2 others did prep work right in front of all of us waiting. When I finally got my drink it was below average. Tasted like an Old Fashioned out of a bottle.

    I arrived really late for a business trip and had selected this location based on a recommendation of a co-worker. Check-in was swift and its located on the corner of an active street in downtown. The room was cozy with little touches that I appreciate such as the little box on the desk area provided a historical overview of the hotel, an affordable snack bar, and good toiletries. I had lunch in the restaurant (Coppins) the following day and the burger was great. I enjoyed the coffee bar and sitting in open area. I took several business calls and enjoyed the space. The only con I noticed was that the lightening is quite low in the hallways. However, this is likely intentional to fit the aesthetic and theme of the hotel decor. TIp: instead of using the hotel address within the Uber or Lyft app, put in the hotel name. For some reason, the address routed the driver to another location (8mins) away in a non-desirable area.

I slept in a room with two queens and I had a roommate. My bed felt like maybe one side of the mattress had worn down and I felt like I might roll off. Didn't sleep well. Reservation issues: The art retreat was a Friday-Sunday (check out Monday). When making a reservation by phone I was told by one person I could get our rate on Thursday, but another said I could not. So nearly $400 for Thursday? I cancelled my entire original reservation and found a friend who shared her room with me. SHE got a Thursday rate even better than the group rate assigned to us. By the way, one reservation person told me that it was Jennifer Chamberlin's fault (Jennifer owns the art membership) which was infuriating. One person told us parking was free and another said it was not free. Please train reservation staff for consistent and correct information. We also used to get a free bottle of water just for asking. Positives/Mixed: Happy Hour (though I wish there were more cocktail choices). It's great to get two free drinks though. Our meals were great (except don't serve a dessert like carrot or cheesecake unless there is enough for everyone; the carrot cake slices were HUGE..would have been enough if sliced smaller..it was delicious and rich so slices were way too big). The Lobster Bisque soup also was not even close to hot..more like room temperature. Food was otherwise good! That said, the food/meal staff (including the omelet makers) were SUPER friendly and helpful/polite. Great breakfast..better than most hotels! Also the bartenders! We really appreciate this staff. Some have been around for all or most of our art retreats and seem to love having us. It has greatly improved since we started using it as our venue. I'd give 3.5 and close to 4 stars, but that is because the retreat itself and being with our friends in a nice spacious area was wonderful. Really..for what it costs, some more improvements of items mentioned would be beneficial to influence my decision in coming again.

The bathroom light on the mirror blinked constantly (rather like an alarm), the carpet was worn out, the thermostat wouldn't register a temperature when I tried to change it, and yet again I found out why I was paying for convenience in the form of a hotel in serious need of help. I am disappointed enough that I will never again stay there when business takes me to Covington.

The location is conveniently located near Cincinnati but my friend and I discovered that Covington is also a fun area. Staying near the Roebling Bridge is another great reason to book this hotel, you're in walking distance to good restaurants, bars, and sports venues. I read that some rooms have a great view of the bridge and river.

It's really sad that this hotel has gone so downhill. Cons: I would say safety is my first concern here. The door to the hotel in the basement is not locked. Anyone could get in whether they had a key or not. You can also use the elevator to the restaurant, but get off on any floor. I read there was a uniformed security guard walking around, but we never saw one. Check in.. the man who checked us in.. we felt like we had interrupted him. He was looking at some paperwork and called us over when he noticed us. His female coworker seemed very nice as she was helping someone else. He barely talked to us. I had asked for a high room online, but I understand they may not see those messages. I was a little afraid to ask if we had a higher room. We were on floor 9.. which is ok, but we were hoping for higher. He just didn't have that hospitality attitude at all. I guess we should have expected less of him. The large linked chain necklace he was wearing was a clue. There's been a mix of super nice and grumpy employees. I get it. We hate work too. But it doesn't mean you can't smile and just say hello. 3 garbage bags on the roof of the building below us, that covers the pool/meeting room areas. Someone forgot them I guess. The toilet is on its last legs. The flush pattern you must use to get your deposit to go down is a little irritating, and the noise it makes when it does finally flush sounds like it's screaming out in pain.. Speaking of the toilet, there's no where to get coffee. Yes, there are single use coffee makers in the room, but we are here for 4 days. We were given 4 coffee pods, 1 sugar and 3 creamers. They only do maid services if you request it, which is fine, we usually put the do not disturb sign up, but, why not leave enough for more than 1 day for 1 person? Also, why give lids when they don't fit the cups The floors are not clean. They look clean, but they are not in fact clean. We are used to walking around in our socks at home and forget we shouldn't do that at a hotel. Our mistake. Sheets are very thin and slide off the corners because of plastic cover They refurbished the room, but there is still older elements, especially in the bathroom. There is a place on the wall where the A/C thermostat used to be, they didn't fill in the holes or paint. Hallways are dark, but not bad. There are no cameras in the hallway, at least on floor 9. The pool roof apparently does not retract anymore so they put a false ceiling over the pool. Not a big deal. You used to be able to get to the pool through the basement so you didn't have to walk through the lobby, but that is no longer there. The pool water itself was not clear so we decided not to get in. Pros THE VIEWS We met a young man who looked to maybe be head of housekeeping on the elevator, and he was so friendly! We love the underground parking option, but it's a little dark down there.

So my Bookings app brought up this place, which is close to the ballpark. So I booked it for 6/3. When I got there I was told there would also be a parking fee. It is what it is. I was given a room up high, maybe floor 13. Lucky me! I will note the view is the best part of this hotel. My view was of I75, meh, but it's still nice to look from above at cars and trees. I would have loved a view of the Cincinnati skyline, though. Well the vibe of the place is dark and there are warning signs about car break ins so I brought everything inside. The elevator was interesting but pretty small and the ride was shaky. When I got to the room it looked ok but definitely not that bright and welcoming. I thought a perk would be to go out on the balcony and check out the view. Unfortunately, the door was locked and the door wouldn't budge. I was able to see out the windows, but they could use a good scrubbing on the outside. I reminded myself that I wasn't there for the room I was there for ribs and baseball so didn't spend much time in that room. I was able to make it to ballpark and park then walk to the rib house and back to ballpark by the 2nd inning. I returned back to the hotel after stopping at the Plum Street Cafe which is near the 4th and Plum where I once lived. Driving back, however, my app sent me around downtown Covington until I realized I needed to turn in an unmarked alley by the gas station to enter the lot. To quote Run DMC It's tricky, tricky, tricky! I headed back to the room and then a darkish walk to the ice machine. I really think this place could use some updates or cut the price point from $152 to $75. The halls also echo in the night. On my billing statement that just came from Amex it indicated that I stayed there on 6/2 instead of 6/3. I didn't take many pictures since there are plenty online already. I did get an exterior shot at 10:34 the next day as I prepared to make the drive to Pigeon Forge, TN.

I took photos and videos immediately and showed them to the front desk. Honestly, I should have canceled on the spot, but the front desk clerk, Ms. Kristina, was kind and asked me to try another room. That second room was somehow even worse than the first. At that point, I canceled my stay entirely. I was specifically told that once the manager, Jennifer Jacobs (who has been avoiding my calls since), returned the next day, my refund would be approved because I booked through Booking.com and manager authorization was needed. That approval never came. Instead, after 11 days of calls, messages, follow-ups, and being given the runaround, I learned the General Manager denied my refund request. Let me be clear...I never stayed in either room. I was presented with two unacceptable, dirty rooms, forced to scramble and find another hotel, wasted time dealing with staff and customer service, and still ended up out $500. So the hotel's position is apparently ... they can offer unsanitary accommodations, fail to remedy the issue after a second attempt, inconvenience the guest, and then keep the guest's money anyway. I literally feel violated. Again, don't book this hotel, and think twice before booking through Booking.com as well. See the screenshots from the video I took of the second room they tried to give me. Dirty pillow, dirt smudges in shower and doorway, and (the worst) butt crust on the toilet seat.
