Hampton Inn Covington

This hotel was ok. Yes, there is a liquor store next door but there are quite a few others in the area as well. The breakfast was ok, typical. It was a good price and decent enough.

Yeah this hotel pushed me back over the edge, I have cancelled my remaining year Hilton reservations and am going back to Marriott.
Large group of inbred rednecks staying here past few days, fueled by the liquor store in the same parking lot and not one bit babysat by the front desk who was completely aware of their behavior right outside the front door which was under my window.
Facilities and not clean at all either, I wouldn’t touch a morsel of the breakfast.
I think the lower rates here appeal to the lower class who is oblivious as to how to co-​habitate in a hotel, for that reason I will not be back and I am done with Hilton hotels — the great 2015 Hilton Experiment for me is over.

I had a hard time trying to decide a rating for this hotel because overall it was a pleasant experience with a hiccup that almost ruined and outweighed everything there. I booked a group block for an event happening at the convention center down the road.
Carol was awesome in group sales. Polite, attentive and even made sure to have the staff put out breakfast early for the people attending the event! GREAT experience with her.
I did have a terrible experience with Chevy at the front desk who was extremely rude and unprofessional at best when sorting out a room block issue. I was mortified that she conducted herself in the manner in which she did, especially with other people around.
I would recommend staying there if you need a place to stay because overall it was clean and comfortable, but beware of Chevy…

Grubby. I stay in a lot of Hampton’s and have been very happy with the quality over the last few years. This one not so much. Very dirty and run down in comparison to most others. The front desk staff was nice though.

We were in the greater Cincinnati area for four days, and decided to book the Hampton Inn just over the river in Kentucky. Here is what I though of the hotel at the end of our stay…
Pros: Clean hallways and room, super comfy beds, decent quick breakfast, super convenient location to the bridge into Cincy and several restaurants, and a friendly staff who kindly turned our cranky 4 year old sons night around by letting him pick out a toy!
Cons: Noticeable homeless problem around the parking lot/​area, the liquor store next door looks as if it has seen its fair share of crime.
Overall I found the hotel to be a good value and the next time I plan to stay in the areas, I most likely will book this Hampton Inn location again.

Our room was clean. The AC worked great our bed was comfy. The shower was clean, hot and had great water pressure. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had the free breakfast each morning of our stay. It was good. My husband had a waffle and juice. I had toast, eggs, sausage and juice. The cleaning staff and maid service was very helpful as well. They would change our towels, take out the trash and make our beds daily. We are very pleased.

The hotel itself was nice, staff was nice. Big free breakfast but food was a little bland. Biggest issue was location. Very little around it within walking distance, unless you need a liquor store which there were plenty. Due to the location, hard to walk to anything.

So far so good! Friendly staff. Seems to be busy. There is 10 baseball games going on in the next 4 days across the river. Hopefully this won’t be to much of an inconvenience since I’m here for my daughters appointments at the children’s hospital!
The sound proofing is amazing from window to outside traffic!
Free cookies in the lobby!
& hot breakfast until 10 for us late birds :)

We chose this Hampton because of proximity to downtown– should have stayed in the one near the University.
Our room smelled strongly of mildew or dirty bathroom when we opened the door– turns out it was the nasty shower curtain, so we kept the bathroom door closed at all times to keep the odor contained. No amount of the choking air freshener the cleaning staff used could mask it. The comforter was extremely lumpy as mentioned in another review– we were told by the front desk that «they were all like that– they came that way in the mail»…huh??? Really?
Yesterday, we returned to our room at 2:45 pm to find that it had not been made up and were told that that was because we’d had the do-​not-​disturb sign on our door (we’d removed that at 10:30 am), and had to wait in the lobby while the towels were changed and bed straightened. But, hey, we got to listen to the front-​desk staff gossip at the top of their voices, so that was a hoot.
All in all, this place could use a sprucing up, a good cleaning, and some staff re-​training.

We wanted to stay at the Hampton Inn in downtown Cincinnati, but that was full each time we drove through. We would have had to book much farther in advance. So this was a Hampton Inn with the free breakfast, and that’s what my MIL wanted, rather than another brand of hotel.
We were headed north on I-​75. We should have exited at 192, which would have easily taken us to Crescent Ave. The map that I had made it look like 191 was just as good. We ended up going around in circles on one-​way roads. Hey, it helped us learn the area!
3^rd and 5^th are one-​way east; 4^th is one-​way west.
So we made it to the hotel. Not as polished to perfection as the other Hampton Inns. A bit pricey, as Hampton Inns run. But close to the bridge across the river to Cincinnati.
Hubby & his bro each had one of the complementary cookies upon arrival.
Our room looked and smelled clean. We had a nice view of the double decker Brent Spence Bridge. The down comforter on the bed was oddly lumpy, but could be fixed by spending some time on air fluff with a couple of tennis balls.
We booked this place only 24 hours before arrival. I had not been able to investigate the area on my laptop, so I really appreciated it when we checked in, and the desk staff handed us a map and a list of nearby restaurants. The map was misleading. Caused some stress because it did not represent reality closely enough.
Due to hubby’s sharp driving reflexes and my navigational abilities, we were able to get our group to the restaurant and back, having learned how the roads *really* run.
Get yourself a better map and you’ll do just fine. There is also a shuttle, if you’re not in a hurry and would rather leave the driving to someone else.

Location is very convenient to the city, but it’s right next to a liquor store and a rated X club. The rooms were clean the sink was way too high for my liking. The staff was friendly at the front desk for the security officer was always just hanging out right there which kind of made me a little bit weary was he not doing his job? Or did he need to be there for a specific reason? My biggest complaint was the gentleman that was in charge of breakfast! He was extremely professional, looks like he had stayed up all night the night before, and his apron was incredibly dirty! Because of him I would not eat my breakfast there… I simply had a cup of coffee and went and paid for breakfast breakfast elsewhere. Kind of a downer as it does not match the Hampton typical image.

Choose this place based on location. Area feels a bit iffy for some reason, maybe the location next to a liquor store. Room was okay, check-​in service was pleasant. Room had a wiff of a musty /​old cigarette smell, but not enough to request a different room. At breakfast, they had a refrigerator with free Monster drinks — bonus. Server had a dirty apron, which I mentioned in the survey sent by the hotel. Management responded personally that they would speak with the breakfast server about that.

I was here for my younger brother’s Law School graduation, so hotels were somewhat scarce, especially since there was also a marathon, Cinco de Mayo, and the Kentucky Derby, all rolled into one weekend. So, of course, what hotels had availability, their prices were steep. $ 138 a night for the Hampton. I guess this will work, because I wasn’t going to pay $ 200 a night for the Embassy Suites.
When I checked in, it was a zoo, and the parking lot configuration, is somewhat weird, but once you enter, it’s a typical Hampton. The breakfast area was larger, and more spacious than most. The lobby was very clean, as was our room. The A/​C was cold, unlike the Holiday Inn we stayed at the night before. My only real complaint is that the wifi was slow as old people.
The location was ideal. I mean, there is a liquor store directly next door. Hello! And, you gotta love the dining options just around the corner:
Willy’s Sports Bar
Waffle House
White Castle
Jack in the Box
and a few locally owned pizza shops
*No wonder people in the midwest are obese.
All in all, a good, clean property. I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again.

Typical Hampton. Awesome beds, free breakfast, good pricing.
Pros: Great location. Cincinnati is just across the river and CVG is a short 15 minute drive.
Cons: Painfully slow WiFi. Weird entrance/​parking situation.

All in all not a bad hotel. Location (next to liquor store) isn’t the best but seems safe and they have security. Kids love the pool. Breakfast is good. Frig and microwave in room and flat screen TV.

Seedy neighborhood and the slowest wifi internet ever conceived. The internet is literally unusable, i am literally writing this on my android while i wait for my laptop to load Unilocal on the hotel network. That alone is enough for me to rethink coming back. Also hotel is surrounded by liquor stores. Premium pricing, not up to par.

Typical Hampton Inn. I typically prefer the courtyard since I have gold status at Marriott (that’s right, I’m a big shot), but not when the price difference is $ 50 per night. The two hotels are literally on the same street and about 2 blocks from each other.
The room I stayed in had a microwave and a mini-​fridge.
The Internet speed was above average for hampton inns.
My only gripe was with the layout of the room. The flat screen TV and the desk are parallel to each other, but the closet is in between them. So I can’t see the TV while I’m working at the desk.

Overall, Hampton Inn’s are all very familiar in the way they are setup, the breakfast they serve and the amenities in the room. Hence, once you stay at one, all of them are pretty much the same. Here is what I like about this particular location:
–Location: It’s quiet but still affords great access to the highways and Covington
–Breakfast staff is always very friendly and accommodating
–Room remodel since the last time I was there.
What I do not like:
–It’s not as close as the other hotels to food and booze. Yes you can walk, but at night it can be a little scary for someone new to the area.
–Front desk staff were not very friendly

I think the room rate was a bit high, but I’m sure that’s because it’s right across the river from downtown Cincinnati.
The good —
Friendly staff
Free parking
Special aquarium package
Extensive complimentary breakfast bar
The bad —
Felt a bit dirty
Had to shower while standing in 6 inches of water because the faucet doesn’t cut off completely so the tub began filling up

So here’s the thing. All Hampton Inn’s are pretty much always the same. A few things to note about this particular location: the water smells totally chlorinated. I have to assume that it’s a city thing and not really a Hampton Inn thing but it is sort of gross. On the plus side, they fold the hand towels to look like a little shirt and tie! It’s my favorite =) I have been to many a hotel and this is the only one that does it. Yay Hampton Inn! This location is fairly convenient to downtown Cincinnati — it’s just over the bridge but other than that, the location is not so pretty. It’s near a Waffle House (I think, or some other variety of crappy eatery) and a gas station. And a big cement wall. Like I said, not pretty but totally functional if you need a place to stay near Cincinnati and don’t want to deal with parking downtown.
