    Telephone cord ripped out of the wall
    Jeff R.

    Everyone working on 7-11-26 was horribly rude. I have pics off the black mold on the ceiling. Pics of tub drain not working. One of the 3 elevators didn't work. I was on the 15th floor and it was the most noisy place I have ever stayed.the phone in our room did not work. The place is trashy. I'd sleep in my car next time

    Bug, stain, room key
    Jane C.

    As we walked in-crowded with people of color, police there belligerent woman sitting on bench by door arguing with police. Long line to check in. Went to room. The smell of pot permeated the 13th floor alcove along with loud music. Room had 2 dead bugs on the bed and the overlay was stained with something red. Old tile shower had black substance in grouted areas. We turned around and left. Felt unsafe. $219.00 wasted. This used to be a nice hotel. Don't waste your time.

    3/5 rooms had this...

    BEWARE: BED BUGS! Reservation: 4/10/26-4/12/26 We arrived late, did our usual check and sure enough. We went downstairs and made the front desk aware, they were already aware of the bug situation. They apologized, acknowledged that it was a known problem & offered us another room hoping this one might be a little better because all the surrounding hotels were sold out. We decided to give it another chance.... That room had bed bug fecal as well. The next morning when we returned to the hotel, we checked another room that our child was in and they had it as well. (He stayed with his travel team and asleep when we arrived Friday) We pulled him out very quickly and spent our morning at the laundromat, taking all of the precautions not to spread it or take it home. Trying to find a hotel on a sold out weekend and spending 1/2 the day at the laundromat was a huge inconvenience and was not in our plans for the weekend. The staff we encounter Friday night was very friendly and seemed annoyed that housekeeping "Couldn't even do their job to change what had the bed bug fecal on it". Disappointed that they would even allow guest to stay in these conditions as it can be very costly for those who take it home with them. It appeared to be the rooms that had the hardwood floors that had bed bugs. I did check two other rooms that were carpeted for someone else and those rooms had brand new mattresses, plastic mattress covers on them and showed no sign of bed bugs. 3/5 Rooms had signs of Bed Bugs. I do not recommend this hotel unless you want to take home unwanted guest.

    Yelp Review for Radisson Hotel Cincinnati Riverfront - 1 We stayed here June 12, 2025, and it was a huge letdown. First, we were put in Suite 722 -- A/C didn't work, the phone and TV were broken, mirrors were dirty, and brown water came out of the faucet. They moved us to Suite 735, and it had the exact same issues. We were a family of five with service dogs, and this was unacceptable. The night staff promised us a late checkout to make up for it, but the morning manager rudely denied it and claimed the hotel was fully booked -- it clearly wasn't. We were told to email for a credit, which we did. But this was a terrible experience. Never again.

    Room was very nice and clean whirlpool tub was clean and refreshing I'm very pleased. We ordered breakfast it was right on time lady as friendly and pleasant set on table for me. Very good food I was pleased pancakes, waffles,beacon, juice everything perfect. I'll stay again..

    Inside room
    Chris G.

    Well I will start by saying the staff was friendly but I was in what they said was an upgraded room and if that was upgraded I would hate to see what a not upgraded room is. To start the plugs by the bed didn't work so I went to the plugs under the tv and guess what they didn't work either as well as the lamp by the TV so then I tried the plugs by the sink and they were positioned to where you couldn't plug anything in so finally my last stop was the plug by the AC unit which finally worked which is just ridiculous and if you read the reviews from other people you will see that this is a re occurring problem. Then off to the sink which was so clogged that it would take an entire day to drain and finally I stayed 4 nights and not once did my room get cleaned even though they said it would be done on the 3rd day had to call down to get towels and go to front desk for soaps and stuff .

    Nasty room they left open across from our room the entire weekend- shows how much they care

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 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.

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.

That personal touch made me feel truly welcome. Plus, she upgraded me without me asking! My room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout my stay. The on-site laundry facilities were a huge convenience, especially for an extended work trip. Breakfast was excellent each morning, with a great selection and quality. The only minor downside was that the fitness equipment was out of service during my stay. However, the staff came up with a great solution!

This was immediately after we checked in, around 4pm. No one ever contacted us, so it didn't seem like a manager was ever informed. Or maybe the manager simply didn't care. I went to use the hair dryer later that evening and discovered it didn't work. We again let the front desk know, but no one seemed concerned. They have an outside area in the back and it's nice to sit. We had dinner out there and enjoyed it. The pool water was very cloudy, you couldn't see your own hand underneath. I'm not sure if that's normal or not! The breakfast was okay but they were out of a lot of things. No yogurt, no apple juice, no real butter (only vegetable shortening), no bagels. We've stayed at a lot of Hampton Inn hotels and I've never stayed at one so dirty. If we're ever in this area again, I would definitely not return.
