    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

    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

    Four star view. Zero star hotel. This hotel it's so dirty and disgusting. The hotel staff literally gives no Fs either and are doing absolutely nothing nothing to make this hotel better (which will be its demise). I literally found a ROACH in my fridge, floor is digusting they absolutely never mop nor dust, outlets work only when all light switches are on so have fun sleeping with your phone charging with all the lights on. The cherry on top for me was check out is at 11 and housekeeping knocked on our door (which had a do not disturb sign on) at 9:20 am. Thanks for ruining my only chance to sleep past 6 am! I paid $300 a night for this hotel during blink and DO NOT RECOMMEND IT to ANYONE . Oh and front desk are basic level nice- you bring them all these complaints and they won't offer you any money off or even free breakfast. This place is a joke

    Separate bedroom and living area
    Leah S.

    My husband surprised me with a staycation here for our wedding anniversary and I was totally shocked at this hidden gem. Tucked away on the 11th floor was a 1 bedroom suite fully equipped with a jacuzzi tub, mini fridge, wet bar and microwave. The room was spacious and had a decent view of Cincy (if you look beyond the highway). The service was nice, but they want you out PROMPTLY at checkout (we received a knock on our door five minutes before we were actually supposed to be out) and it's a little worn over all. Still, a great place for a romantic getaway without a lot of travel. Added bonus this hotel has two restaurants and a bar and provides room service during limited hours. If you get hungry late all of the major food delivery services seem to deliver here. Note, The romantic room decorations were provided from a separate company that I will review.

    Only outlet that worked
    Sean G.

    I travel every month for business. This hotel was one of the worst I've stayed at. Over priced, two lights in the room didn't work, the outlets didn't work, I had to move the bed just to access an outlet to charge my phone. Outdated hotel that needs an entire make over.

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.

The beds and pillows were comfortable, and basic toiletries were provided. -- Before arrival, we were concerned that the rooms might be noisy due the hotel's proximity to the bridge. This turned out to be unfounded as we could barely hear the bridge traffic. -- The hotel has a swimming room and on-site fitness room that we didn't use. -- The free breakfast had a huge variety of hot (eggs, sausages, oatmeal, pancakes) and cold (cereals, pastries, yogurt, fresh fruits) options, as well as different options for coffees, teas, and hot chocolate. Offerings were replenished regularly. -- Location is good for driving access to the Cincinnati riverfront area. (For instance, the Underground Railroad Museum is only about 5 minutes by car across the bridge). -- There was free parking. We parked in the lot behind the hotel, from which there was key-controlled access to the hotel. A few additional things worth noting. -- The hotel is on the Ohio River, and its name includes the term "Riverfront." However, there wasn't easy walking access to the river, nor did we have a river view. -- Upon our first approach to the hotel, we found that it was adjacent to two liquor stores -- and what we thought was hotel parking was actually parking for one of the busy liquor stores.

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.

Upon arrival, we were placed in a room where the television did not work, and wet paint was still present throughout the area. In addition, someone in or near the room was smoking an excessive amount of marijuana, making the environment unbearable. Because of these conditions, we were forced to change rooms despite being exhausted from long travels and simply needing rest. Unfortunately, the second room was equally unacceptable. We woke up to find cigarette burns on the sheets and rodent glue on the countertops--conditions that are both unsanitary and unsafe. Had we known the facility was in this state, we would have never chosen to stay at this location. It has now been a week since these issues occurred, and despite leaving written notes and making repeated calls, management has not contacted me. I have also not received my deposit back, nor any update regarding the refund I am requesting for this night's stay. Based on the unacceptable conditions of the rooms, the lack of professionalism from staff, and the complete absence of management responsiveness, I am demanding a full refund for the night in question, as well as the immediate return of my deposit. I will also be attaching photos as proof of the conditions described above.
