This hotel was extremely clean, had pleasant and very attentive staff, the rooms and hallways smelt nice, the breakfast bar was amazing with so many great choices. They were helpful in accommodating for a room with handicapped features for my next stay after surgery.

Thank you SO much for the wonderful review! I hope you are healing well after your surgery and can come back again for some fun this time! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Our family stayed here while our son was at Cincinnati Children's hospital. They provided a great rate for us. Check in was a breeze and the employees were all very kind. Breakfast was amazing. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you for the amazing review! So glad you enjoyed your stay while visiting Children's Hospital with your son and I truly hope the visit went well! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld, GM

We visit my son (a Cincy resident) a few times per year. We have stayed at several hotels, but this is the one we keep returning to. This past weekend was our 4th stay here. It is always clean, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is always good. The location is very convenient for sights in Cincinnati, as well as for visits to the many eateries and beverage venues in Cincy, Newport, and Covington. I highly recommend this hotel.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel October 18-20, 2018. This stay was even better than "extremely satisfied." I can't say enough about the hotel or the staff. Beth and Cathy were so far above exceptional, I don't know the words to express my appreciation. They were patient, kind, understanding, professional and truly extraordinary. Alicia and Lindsay were also patient and helpful. If there is a negative, it is that, although beautifully updated, this is an older hotel, and thus, there was a little bit of noise from outside and from the hallway. The pillows were a little lumpy as well. However, unless you are extremely sensitive to these issues, you will be very happy with both. The rooms are spotless, updated and hygienic. The hotel is close to both fast food restaurants and fine dining. I highly recommend this hotel.

Chose hotel based on proximity to Bengals stadium which is just across the river. There is an independent shuttle/bus service that provides transportation to stadiums and downtown area. The pickup spot is a short walk down the street (about a block.) Lobby was clean and well maintained. There's a small sundry and snacks shop with items available for purchase. There's also a great coffee station that is available day/night. Rooms were clean and beds comfy but lacked much additional walking room around furniture but it was fine for 2 adults and 1 teenager. Bathroom was large but could have used little more counter space. Plenty of outlets and mirrors for getting ready outside of bathroom. We were happy with the overall location, service, and amenities at a great price!

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you SO much for the wonderful review! I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay while in town catching a Bengal's game! Hope to see you again! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Hotel is just over the river from downtown Cincinnati, a short Uber ride to the brewery district and downtown. Hotel has all you need for a short stay, is clean, has friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast included.

Thank you for the wonderful review! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

After reading reviews we decided on this hotel. I booked the "river view".The lobby area very nice and updated as well as serving area for breakfast. Great breakfast -but it stopped there. At first glance our room was great. But the bathroom had long hairs all over the floor, as well as something that looked like coffee grounds, under the sink area was very dusty. the toilet needed cleaned, and the matt on the desk had something slopped on it that may have been more coffee grounds. The "river view" included the parking lot, a river wall, and trees- I barely could see the water but the bridge and seeing Cincinnati buildings were okay during the day.Housekeeping was to re-clean the room and the manager reduced our bill, however the amount that was to be taken off the total doesn't match my calculations and she didn't want to speak about it upon departure. The shuttle doesn't come to this hotel so it was quite a walk to get to the appropriate stop. Location was great if going to Cincinnati. The bed was very comfortable. Large room and bathroom but needs updated. Breakfast was Great!! Staff was very courteous and friendly.

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback, I am very sorry your room was not up to the high standards we strive to provide our guests. I am glad the Manager on duty provided a discount and will double check it to ensure it was deducted properly. I am glad the bed was comfortable, and you enjoyed breakfast too. I appreciate the kind comments on our staff. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

The beds were very comfortable. The room was large enough to walk around the beds and have some room besides. The TV remote had a sleeve on it indicated it had been cleaned. The sink in the bathroom had shelves under it to help with organizing things in the bathroom. The water pressure was great! The breakfast had excellent choices for everyone. There was everything from sliced cantaloupe to sausage. They had french toast sticks and potato pancakes. Scrambled eggs and cheesy scrambled eggs. The breakfast person kept the breakfast items stocked very efficiently. The hotel is located right off the interstate just south of the river dividing Ohio and Kentucky. Very convenient to Cincinnati or attractions in Kentucky. It was about 40 minutes to the Ark Encounter and 20 minutes to the Creation Museum.

You can't get a view of the Cincinnati skyline from Cincinnati. Just across the river however it is great. This hotel has one of the best free breakfast spreads I have ever encountered. Room was quiet and clean, staff was friendly and efficient. Very nice.

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you for the awesome review and very kind comments on our team! So glad you enjoyed breakfast too! Sincerely, Beth

Really nice hotel. Pretty view on river side. Very nice staff. Had spent the previous week with family in an average bed. This bed was very comfortable and I was out like a light after a bad week of sleeping. Room was very clean and was very quiet. Lobby and reception area was very clean and modern. Don't get to Cincy area much, but I would definitely stay here again

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
WOW! Thank you so much for the wonderful review, I am very happy you slept well and apprecaite the kind comments on our team! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

I found a used tissue and empty shampoo bottle on bottom shelf in bathroom and also a piece of rubber tubing on the floor by the window. Looked like some kind a medical equipment not sure. Makes me wonder what germs I didn't see those things should not of been missed. Makes me wonder if the bathroom was really cleaned or sweeper used. The breakfast had good variety but eggs and potatoes were cold and we arrived for breakfast only 15 minutes after they started serving. Check in ladies on Friday night were awesome gave us great pizza ideas. Room a little small for 4 adult people an okay place for a quick stay would not want to vacation here.

Dear Justicebb, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. I apologize for the things you encountered in the room and during breakfast. We need to do better. Please be assured, that I am addressing those concerns. Sandip Chauhan, GM. .

Beth and her staff are excellent - No one runs the coffee station as good as Beth W. does! Attentive and caring staff who know you and know your name, why you are there etc. The staff are the same people who were there when this was a Hampton Inn. I attribute this to Beth W.

We visited this hotel for a 2 night stay while my nephew was in Cincinnati Children's Hospital. I don't have any complaints with this hotel, staff was all friendly, rooms and amenities were very nice & clean. It is a short drive to Cincinnati as well as Newport which is a very nice place to visit.

Thank you for the wonderful review from your stay and I hope your nephew is doing well! I appreciate the kind comments on our team members and so happy you liked our rooms too! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

During our stay, we were met with friendly staff and our stay was very comfortable. A bar of soap was stuck to the ceiling in the shower, but rest of room and property is very well maintained. Breakfast was ok, i suggest getting there before 9 only because the eggs dry out. I would still highly recommend this hotel!

Thank you for the wonderful review! I am very sorry we missed the soap on the ceiling, can't imagine how it got there :) Hope to see you again. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

We stayed here for four nights on our first visit to the Cincinnati area. The room was clean and well maintained and the manager and staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good although we personally would have liked more variety of fresh fruits. This location was convenient to the main highway and bridge across the river to Cincinnati and within walking distance of Mainstrasse Village and the trolly stop.

We stayed here for 1 night before our appointment with CCMH and it was a very pleasant stay. Everything from check in to checkout went smoothly. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were also very informative of all the amenities the hotel offered. Our room was clean and comfortable. I loved the layout of both the room and bathroom! Our room has lots of plug ins and storage. The beds were so comfortable. We had a view of the parking lot so we didn't have any issues with noise. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone, and will be coming back for future appointments! I attached a photo of the sunrise from the parking lot on our way out the next morning. It was beautiful.

Thank you for the awesome review! We love our relationship with Children's Hospital and all the wonderful families we get an opportunity to meet! Sincerely, Beth

Good access to travel over to Cincinnati you can get on and off the freeway. Good access to all areas of Cincinnati, it was just over the bridge. It's probably better for those that have a car. We were able to get in and out of the downtown area easily but we also had a GPS. When you turn into the hotel it is a very quick turn. We only had a view of the top of buildings but the rooms were very nice. We did the Underground Rail Road Museum, which was fantastic, it also talked about how involved women were at that time. The breakfast was the standard Best Western/Comfort Inns breakfast, waffle, some rolls scrambled eggs etc. Over all for the money it was a good deal as I'd checked hotels in Cincinnati they were much more expensive.

This place was remarkable. It's good to know that you find a hotel that's suitable for your needs of relaxation. My family and friend were with me, and when I opened that door to our suite it was like heaven! Spacious, large television area, with sofa, which could be let out into the bed, the atman were you could relax your feet. I apologize if some of the spelling is incorrect. It's been 4 days and I'm still feeling like I've been on real vacation and stayed at a real hotel. Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area. Don't change anything but your breakfast menu. Oh! wait! you do that everyday. Keep up the excellent services.

We paid almost four hundred dollars a night (2 nights) for a room and hotel that was not as described by the person at the front desk when I called to inquire about reservations. We were told riverfront with views of the city and a great walkway where we could hear the city music festival going on. It was anything but. I was concerned about safety as soon as I pulled in given the surroundings. And the huge wall between the hotel and back areas was intimidating—not a good area at all. Very deceiving and misleading. Bait and switch.

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you for your feedback and I apologize for the confusion in our location. The only property I can think of that is close enough to Paul Brown Stadium that you would be able to hear music from a concert is the new AC Marriott which would also have a walk way along the river. The city is building a walk way behind the flood wall that isn't open to the public just yet, we are looking forward to it opening as we get asked where to walk along the river. Again, I am sorry you felt mislead, this is not our intention to mislead our guests. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld, GM

Love all the new changes, the rooms are comfortable, almost like being at home. Someone on our floor was smoking, notified staff and it was dealt with immediately. Loved efficient speedy response of staff.

We couldn't decide where we wanted to stay with so many great hotel options. We decided to try Best Western Plus, we'd never stayed at one. This was one of the nicest hotels I've been to. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and it was one of the best breakfasts I've had! Way better than any Holiday Inn I've stayed at. I usually go for Hiltons, but I am totally looking forward to staying here again!

From the moment I walked through the doors I felt welcomed! Beth, the General Manager and team made the check-in process easy. The lobby is absolutely beautiful! I found out the hotel has just underwent a complete renovation. The lobby has beautiful lighting and it truly an eclectic mix of furnishings. The room was beautiful and comfortable, very upscale. The bountiful breakfast was delicious. I didn't want to leave! I will be back, a great location, 5 minutes away from Cincinnati or Newport. Truly a delightful stay. The service was outstanding.

We were traveling though the region and opted for the BW Covington Riverfront for a two-night stay. The hotel options on the Covington side of the Ohio River are a bit cheaper than Cincinnati. There are many budget/mid-range properties along the riverfront in Covington. A word of warning... these Covington properties are surrounded by liquor stores, apparently well situated for Ohio residents who cross the River for the lower liquor tax. We did not feel unsafe, but all these liquor stores create a not-so-pleasant vibe about the area. The hotel itself was a typical BW. Room was clean, bed comfortable and staff friendly. The breakfast was OK.

We traveled in from Wisconsin to enjoy a Brewer game in Cincinnati. We were very pleased with our choice of hotel. It is very clean and we had a spacious suite for four adults and two seven year olds. The staff was very friendly and gave us great dinner options and ideas. The hotel is also ideally located, a brief Uber from Great American Ballpark. We chose to walk back to the hotel after the game, which was a walk across the suspension bridge with a beautiful view. We also got to see the murals on the levees on the Covington side of the river. All in all, a great value and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Did a road trip to see the Cubs play the Reds (a 4 game sweep against us but still great time). A short walk to shuttle that drops you off a short walk to park for only $1 each way. No hassle and very convenient. Hotel itself was one of the best BW we have stayed in. Huge comfortable room -King Suite. Very friendly staff. Usually housekeeping staff is just quietly going about their jobs. Here they greeted us in the halls wishing us a good day. Very refreshing.

I do BW Rewards so I been staying at several. This is a great property, almost underneath I-75 on the KY side. Convenient to Ballpark, under $10 Uber. Breakfast was varied and the hot food , scrambled egg options, meat and potatoes were nicely prepared. Not anywhere to walk to eat that I could see but there is a liquor store next door! Nice staff handling the front. Busy since it was a ballgame weekend and there was a parade in downtown Cinci. Well done all around. Oh, and the room was nice, clean with comfortable bed.

Stayed in room 506, view of river and downtown was very nice. Air conditioner worked very well and was quiet, did not wake me up each time it clicks on. Hallways were quiet too. Every single person we met who works at this hotel was wonderful. Housekeeping always wished us a good day with smiles, breakfast staff, always cleaning and keeping food well supplied, great scrambled eggs, with cheese and without. Yummy yogurt with 6 different toppings to choose from. One day maple sausage, next day sausage links, waffles you make fresh everyday. Potato pancakes, and biscuits and sausage gravy( the best I have ever had) on different days. Nate, take great care to feed the guests well. The front deck staff seemed like friends by the end of the week! If you have the chance stay here.

Family trip to see Noah's Ark & catch a Reds game. This hotel is located just 2 miles from Great American Ballpark & about 35 minutes from Noah's Ark. The neighborhood wasn't the greatest, but not awful. The hotel was outstanding, clean, friendly & a nice complimentary breakfast. Recommended!

This was last min trip to the Cincy area for a get-away. The view of the river and bridge/hwy was nice from our room, 612. The room was clean and everything was tip top shape. We had a king bed room with loveseat/ pullout bed and with the pullout bed in use the room is rather tight, really tight. It had iron, ironing board, flat screen tv, mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot and hair dryer.... The typical things but not always available at all hotels. My husband said the bed was hard. I slept just fine. There's an inside pool but no jacuzzi. The other hotel guests and staff were friendly. Staff were very helpful with answering our questions at various times about the area, things to do, places to go etc. Breakfast was free/complimentary and was plentiful from fresh fruit to waffles you make yourself, bacon/sausage, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, cereal, variety of pastries etc. Wifi served its purpose. The different areas of the hotel appeared clean and well kept. When we went to the pool there were no pool towels so I sent my daughter to front desk to ask about them. Like 5 mins later a guy walked in with a fresh stack of pool towels and walked right over to us so we could grab what we needed vs just sitting them down on the pool towel bin. Things like that makes you appreciate good customer service. There are 2 little convenient stores that are in the parking lot of the hotel, a liquor store a block away. Plenty of eateries and areas to "people watch" or blend in with the locals that are not that far - in walking distance. On our first night, a group of hotel guests walked from the hotel to the baseball game. Over all it was a pleasant stay.

Booked a suite for two weeks. Perfect size 65m2 700ft 2. Basically it was 2 rooms, joined by an archway. Ample space, seperate living area, sofas, side chairs, dining set, microwave, fridge, sink etc. Tv's in both living and bedroom and a huge bathroom, with double size shower. Rooms were cleaned daily, with the usually towel changes. The hotel had undergone a total refurbishment just over a year ago, so everything looks fresh. Buffet breakfast with plenty of choice, disposible cutlery snd plates, make it feel a little cheap, but easier at the same time. Coffee is free on tap 24 hrs per day and the reception has a small selection of essential items to purchase. The hotel also offers a Gym and small indoor pool. On the 2nd floor there is a guest washing machine and dryer, which is rarely used, but really useful, especially for longer stay guests. The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar, but does offer complimentary beer and snacks Monday to Friday. Free parking was another ++ as a lot of the local hotels charge. Small niggle, would be the lack of restaurant and outside garden area. But other than that, busy at weekends and quiet during the week. Great staff, friendly everywhere. Close location to downtown Cincinnati.

Unlike Patricia, a few reviews before me, we were not thrilled to have a "free upgrade" to a suite. I had booked a room with two beds intentionally, because I was not traveling with someone with whom I share a bed. The "upgrade" was not a courtesy; it was a matter of having overbooked the hotel. The clerk at the front desk graciously took $20 off my bill. That was a kind gesture, but still meant I had to sleep on a sofa. When I made the reservation, if the only room available to me had been a room with only one bed and sofa, even at the reduced price, I would have reserved elsewhere, as there were no shortage of hotels in the area. If you are reserving a room at this hotel and need two beds, indicate "NO UPGRADE" on your reservation, and hope to goodness they honor that request. Otherwise, the breakfast was wonderful, the public spaces are very attractive, the room was clean and spacious, the towels were soft, thick, and thirsty. On the downside, you could hear noise from other rooms, parking was sparse, and there was a liquor store next door, but the area did not feel unsafe. If I were traveling alone or could be assured I would get the room I reserved, I would probably stay here again, but the next time I'm passing that way with a roommate who is not a bedmate, I'll avoid this location.

Thank you for the review and informing me of the situation, I am very sorry we did not have the room type you reserved and that the solution the desk agent tried to remedy the issue was not a good solution for you and your guest. I was very happy you enjoyed the breakfast and renovations and hope you will give us another opportunity in the future. I will contact you privately as well. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

The clerks at the front desk were very helpful including a gentleman who had been the manager there previously who was a big help getting us around these confusing streets. We had to go to the front desk to get tissues as there were none in the room and my daughter had bronchitis, infected ears and sinuses as well as pink eye and had been in the emergency room the night before. Tissues were needed. Outside the elevator on the floor was a toilet brush. The pillows were fat and very firm. If you slept on your back, the head was forced up. If sleeping on your side, your head was at a sharp angle. This hotel had no choice as many others do.We returned from our day Saturday about 3:00 hot and sticky and dirty and we wanted to take a nice shower and relax a bit before meeting friends at a restaurant at 5:00. Our room was not made up, we had damp towels from the night before and with my daughter's pink eye, I did not want to use them. The front desk said they were behind. She finally came after 4:30 when we left still dirty and sticky. When we returned we found the ice bucket full of room temperature water, dirty cups left, no shampoo or conditioner and we had used up the little bottles the night before, dirty washcloth left behind. The front desk assured us there would be tea bags in our room. There were none, however she was so thoughtful and gave us some before we went to the room. Room cleanliness and cleanup was an F. One the very positive note: the breakfast was excellent! I would make a suggestion that on busy weekends you have more helpers in the kitchen. The line became quite long waiting for some eggs and sausage to arrive. There was a great selection and the yogurt that we pour for ourselves and the granola topping was delicious. This gets an A+. The front desk clerks also get an A+. The rest of the visit was very disappointing.

Thank you so much for the feedback on your stay with us. I was happy to read you had a awesome experience with the front desk and breakfast and very sorry to read we did not do well in housekeeping and I am sure this was very frustrating after a long day to come back and not received service. I shared with our Executive Housekeeping Manager to improve services in the future. I was out of town myself this weekend and was very happy that our Front Office Supervisor took one night of your stay off as it was much deserved. I hope you will give us another opportunity in the future. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Upon checking into this hotel my husband and I were upgraded to one of their suites on the sixth floor with a view of Cincinnati it was spectacular! The hotel sits along the river facing Cincinnati. Both my husband and I thought that the woman at the check-in was very kind to do that! We were at this hotel for several days and each morning the breakfast was wonderful! Every one that worked here was very friendly and kept the place very clean. They have a pool and a fitness center which we weren't able to use because of our busy schedule but both looked clean and inviting. We would definitely stay here again!

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you for the awesome review! I am happy we were able to offer an upgrade and glad you and your husband enjoyed your stay and visit in Cincinnati/Covington! I appreciate the kind comments and hope you visit us again soon! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

We checked in early. We were given drink coupons for the daily happy hour we attended. Breakfast was very good with a variety of foods. Room was very clean, bed comfy and overall hotel clean. Indoor pool and shuttle available to reds/browns games. Best experience at a hotel in quite awhile.

I was the group leader for a bus tour of 40. We were delayed leaving the Ark Encounter and had a very tight time frame to get unloaded at the hotel and get to the B.B. Riverboat cruise. I called Beth and she said they would be ready for us. When we arrived at the hotel, Beth and her staff were waiting on us with luggage carts and room keys in hand. The rooms were great and the staff was exceptional! I could not be more satisfied.

Awww.... Thank you SO much Ricky for the wonderful review! We loved hosting your group - super people! Hope to see everyone again soon! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Our stay @ Best Western Plus was by far and good stay. They had a very clean hotel with very polite staff. They had a nice pool and work out center. They also had a very good free and full breakfast. My complaints would be we noticed really quickly that it is also a long term residency. Many people walking around in their wjat seemed to be pajamas. When we first pulled up we noticed many people who were just right outside front entrance smoking. They need a designated smoking area ways away from front entrance. During breakfast on our last morning we witness a resident in happy with a guest who must have sat in his usual spot. He was obviously being very rude to a guest. We weren't to pleased with our window view of the liqour store and not river front they advertise so we called and asked if we could switch rooms. We were told there were no rooms avaible. Assuming due to the many residence they house. Kinda felt like a very clean shelter to be honest.

Thank you for the great review! You are correct we have some Seniors temporarily located here after a fire at a local apartment building, hopefully they will be able to return soon. We do only have a few rooms that over look the river and high enough to see over the flood wall, I apologize we did not have one available during your stay with us. Thank you for the great comments on staff, pool breakfast and fitness center! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Grand daughter in children's hospital and stayed here night before admissions. Nice,clean room .housekeepers nice. Everyone friendly. One lady at front desk talked to her friends while I was waiting,needed to add a night.next day hospital said Best Western called because my things were in the room and I was supposed to check out,so the lady at desk did not do her job and add me.frustrated but she just needs to go.all other front desk people were excellent.

Thank you for the awesome review, we love our relationship with Children's Hospital! I apologize that you had issues extending the reservation, I am happy everything else was good! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

The hotel itself was fine! It was clean and the staff was nice. Only reason i probably wouldn't stay again is due to the amount of strange people in the area. It appeared to have a large number of homeless looking people in the parking lot and lobby. Not sure what that was all about but I certainly didn't love it.

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you for the review, I apologize you did not have the best experience we strive to provide. We are currently housing 50 residents from a Senior Citizen apartment building that had a fire (no one was hurt) until they can move back into the building.

Thank you for the awesome review and very kind comments! We loved hosting your Chess group and hope to see you again next year!

This was a beautiful hotel. Decor was bright, cheerful and colorful. The people were friendly. And then there was BREAKFAST. We have been staying in Best Western's every night on this road trip because they are reasonably priced, clean and have breakfast, but this hotel is a culinary delight. Not your average eggs and sausage. This place has an employee with a culinary background. There was fresh warm eggs and cheese, bourbon sliced ham (yum), potatoes, fresh Greek yogurt (not in a package), fruit, etc. Also gourmet coffee flavorings. Need I go on. I would recommend this Best Western. The only downside was that we could only stay one night.

Nice hotel. Easy access to expressway. Located next to liquor store and another strange store. But, staff was friendly and hotel was nice. Easy access to Cincinnati downtown area. The only issue I had with the stay was the loud people across the hall. They kept yelling and slamming doors well into the night. It was New Years Eve, so we didn't complain. We will request a room at end of hallway next time.

My wife and I flew from LAX to Cincinnati for the first time. Our return flight was at 9 am so we decided to stay at the hotel so we didn't have to drive from Dayton that morning. We were very pleased by the appearance and the amenities this hotel offered. The staff we encountered were very friendly. The "cocktail hour" food, we don't drink, was practically a meal for us and the breakfast had everything we needed to start the long day back home. If we decide to fly into Cincinnati again, we definitely will stay here again.

This Best Western in Covington, KY is arguably the best hotel value in the Cincinnati area. The hotel is easily accessible and very well maintained. The free breakfast is as good if not better than any of the hotels where I have stayed. Now that the world knows I will probably have difficulty booking this hotel. ;-)

Brand new, very nice, treated me like a valued guest, very nice room on 6th floor overlooking the river and the Cincinnati skyline.A snack of cheese pizza and a couple beers in the evening provided by hotel. Breakfast was good, but a little limited for me with diabetic needs and allergic to eggs (but the cheesy scrambled eggs sure looked good). Got roght to it off the freeway, but got lost leaving in the morning to head southeast.

Have nothing but good things to say about staff, rooms, and services. Location is very convenient and right off the Interstate. Only downside is the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy.

We enjoyed an especially large, nicely furnished accessible king suite with kitchenette. The bathroom had extra shelves and was huge. There were 2 TV's--in the sitting room and in the bedroom. The breakfast buffet was extensive and very good, except several of the cooked foods weren't kept hot enough. The hotel is just across the river from downtown Cincinnati which was very convenient for us.

Appreciated staying in such a newly renovated hotel. The entrance and breakfast area are extremely attractive and the room was very nice and very clean. You would think being located so close to the Covington bridge there would be a lot of noise, but running fan on low (no need for a.c. in Nov.) took care of any noise from bridge traffic--a beautiful view btw from our fifth floor room. Bathroom was sparkling clean, but not understanding why a mini coffeemaker is placed on the sink vanity? Do you really need coffee that badly it's necessary to brew in the b.r.? Bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. We are picky travelers and couldn't find anything wrong with this hotel; so great work Best Western!

Our breakfast was hot and tasty. There was apples, bananas, melon, pineapple, oatmeal, 4 cereals, yogurt machine, make-your-own belgium waffles, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bacon, homefries, variety of pastries, muffins and breads. Coffee, tea and hot cocoa were available 24/7. Front desk personnel helpful with restaurants in the area and directions. We were in for the football game. it was so busy at breakfast that staff was making waffles as fast as the iron could make them!! Everyone wanted a delicious belgium waffle. We used the self-serve laundry. Worked super! Bring your own detergent. Make sure you take the Shuttle around the city to end and come back--for $1. Make sure your GPS works on your cell phone as you will use it all the time and Uber app is working on your phone. Chances are you may Uber a couple times. Churchill Downs is in Louisville, KY. It is an amazing destination and worth the 80 minute ride there!! Definitely get to Fountain Square. Did Christmas shopping at Tiffany's! Graetner's Ice Cream Shoppe is homemade. The Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chip--OMG, delicious as well as the cream horn! Check out the German village--the Cock & Bull (2 blocks down and then 3 blocks up from hotel) great appetizers, Hofbrauhaus in Newport-great Saturday night atmosphere & band and Barleycorn's in Lakeside--great Bourbon wings. Jack Casino Buffet a little pricey at $25. Had Salmon (done perfectly) and prime rib (very tasty)! Make sure to try the fresh made crepes with mixed berries or Bananas Foster. Both delicious! And make sure to walk over the Purple Bridge (walking bridge) from KY to OH.

Stayed at Best Western Plus on the Riverfront because we wanted to be in close proximity for the Bengals-Bills game. I highly recommend others travelling to attend a game at Paul Brown Stadium to consider this hotel. The rate was very reasonable and the hotel allowed us to keep our car in the parking lot after we had checked out to attend the game. We took the recommended shuttle ($1 per person) to the game and back which dropped us off under the parking garage right in front of the stadium. There was no hassle with traffic - could not have been more convenient for game attendance. The hotel is very clean and has a nice pool and very good hot breakfast. There is no hptel bar but in the evening a short walk (~10 minutes) to Meinstrasse Village (German) for some good food and cold beer! Finally, the staff was exceptionally welcoming, they seem to know their guests well and anticipated our questions and provided good service and recommendations.

Thank you for the wonderful review from your stay with us! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay, I know the game itself was very wet - hope you found a dry spot :) Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld General Manager

Very clean and friendly. Price was a little high but it's high in the whole area. A Little traffic noise in the area but hotel seems pretty well shielded. Good place to stop during a trip. Had some internet problems (but didnt bother to call for assistance) so cant really holx it against them. Good spot to get to downtown cinncy without having to BE on down town Cinncy.

We were told check out was 12 noon by travelosity. the hotel said it was 11 am.the overall experience was very good inside the hotel.The surrounding area had some homelessness and drug use. hindsight.....I might consider staying in Newport, Ky in a more developed area.

Thank you for the feedback from your stay, I apologize the check out time is incorrect on Travelosity and will contact them to correct it. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Ms India and her co-worker, along with the general manager and the morning staff were all excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It did not feel like a regular hotel stay. Also close to several restaurants in the area.

Overall the hotel was very nice. The rooms were a little small but they were fine. The breakfast was included and that is a big plus for us. The staff was friendly but the maids were a little unprofessional in their dress and talking on the cell phones on speakerphone. Other than that we were pretty happy with our stay. The hotel is very close to almost anything we needed including Newport on the Levee, the zoo, and the Children's Hospital.

My wife and I spent two nights at the Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront and had a great experience. It was a great stay at a beautiful hotel for a great price. The view of Downtown Cincinnati at night from our room over the river was beautiful. It was close to the Covington eclectic area that furnished some great shopping and food for our enjoyment and overall it was just a wonderful stay.

First of all our stay was very good here The night clerk on sept 21 was very helpful. we arrive at about 8:00 pm I ask the clerk about of any restaurants had delivery she gave us 3 different restaurant. Also when the food arrived they called us to see if we ordered the food. The hot breakfast was very very good. Will stay there again.

We have been staying at this hotel during our visits to Cincinnati for the past few years. The updates look great. I like that they now offer a breakfast to go; that is a nice option if you are trying to get on the road and do not want to eat the breakfast. The breakfast area looks very nice and seems better managed now than before. Will definitely stay here again.

Easy to get to. Newly renovated and it shows. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Only minor downside is the location under the bridge. Not sure I'd wander away from the hotel on foot after dark.

When my friends and I rolled into the parking lot, the area appeared to be a little sketchy. But once we walked into the hotel it was like stepping into a completely different atmosphere. The hotel looked brand new, the staff was extremely pleasant and our room still smelled new :) The beds were comfortable and the decor in the room was super cute. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying at this hotel!!

My son goes to Cincinnati frequently for medical appointments and we usually stay at a different hotel but They were booked so Cinci Children's got us a room with a good price at the Best Western. The hotel building used to be a Hampton Inn and has recently been renovated apparently. While it's a nice hotel there were a few things that were disappointing. We were in an adjoining room-- and could hear everything that went on in the room next to us-- from their TV to the toilet flushing. Which means they could probably hear my son who has Autism being loud. Also when we went to use the shower the water never got warm enough to actually shower comfortably. My niece took a cold shower bc of this. Aside from these minor annoyances the staff was friendly, the hotel was clean and the rooms best and clean. We didn't see the pool so I can't attest to that but I suspect it was nice. Breakfast looked to be a nice meal as did the evening light affair when we arrived... Will consider it as an alternative if our usual hotel is unavailable again!!

Myself and 4 other girls stayed here for a girls' weekend for the Oktoberfest, there is a shuttle that runs for only $1.oo each way, very convenient. Awesome rooms, very clean and well stocked, Angela was very helpful in housekeeping, with extra towels and shampoo, Chevy and Beth at the front desk, very friendly, professional, and super helpful with directions and recommendations. The breakfast and the complimentary happy hour were over the top and much enjoyed. Lizzie was a ton of fun for our happy hour and made it so much like home! HUGE hot breakfast every day, tons of options. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the staff!!! (rooms 406 & 411)

Though access to the hotel has never been the best, the location is great for access to different activities on both sides of the river. With the rebranding of this hotel, they've updated and redone many things to make it a pleasant stay. I'll be back.

The manager Beth went out of her way to make it a really special stay for my wife and I. we have been staying there since the days this was a Hampton Inn Beth and her staff have stayed there now that it's a Best Western and they do a better job than ever in this newly remodeled Hotel.

Lovely and updated this past summer, the hotel is fresh, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Thank you staff, for telling us about the shuttle!! You can go anywhere for $1. And we love the proximity to Main Strasse! As well as Downtown Cincinnati. Our first....but not last....trip to Best Western Cincy Riverfront

WOW I was IMPRESSED. Not a big fan of BW but the Plus added to the brand caught my eye and allowed me to check it out. IMO everything was on point with an exception of Fitness room needs a circulation fan, room TVs need to have a max volume control so that it won't be heard beyond the room and front desk staff should invest in NICE professional uniforms. I had 1 problem and the Assistant Manager did NOT handle it well. But it did not change my OVERALL feel of the hotel/my stay. Totally newly renovated property as of this year, EXCELLENT breakfast, free parking and about 4 minutes from downtown Cincinnati.

This was the second time in the last decade that my wife and I have stayed here. Both experiences were positive, but the most recent was a particularly good one. We arrived early and desperately needed an early check-in. The desk staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating! Not only were we granted early check-in, but we were also upgraded to a suite on a weekend that every hotel room in the Cincinnati area was sold out.The price is as reasonable as it gets for the area. The rooms had been recently renovated. And the continental breakfast was huge, hot, and delicious. My only complaint is that the trolly stop to take you around Covington, Newport, or into Cincinnati was a good 1/4-1/2 mile hike from the hotel. Regardless, for the treatment, the cleanliness, and the price, we'd gladly stay here again. Thanks for a great stay, BW crew!

My wife and I want to thank the Best Western Riverfront for an excellent stay. We came in for the Labor Day Weekend River-fest and everything was great. The staff was caring and very helpful and we have never stayed at a cleaner hotel. If we come back to the Cincinnati / Covington Area we will definitely stay there again.

I was in town for work a property was recommened to me by a friend. I never stayed in a Best Western before he mentioned the property was newly renovated. The guestrooms were big and cozy and it's location was perfect for my work related trips. Best part of the stay was the breakfast. Delicious!!!

This excellent hotel is the former Hampton Inn which was recently remodeled and rebranded which caused the overall ranking on TripAdvisor to fall to near the bottom of the hotels in Covington as the number of reviews for the “new” hotel are few; however, do not let this fool you. The hotel is very nice with a great staff and is lower in cost than the others in the area; these factors will certainly drive the overall ranking upward as the positive reviews will continue to pile-up. (Note: Google Maps lists it as the new Best Western Plus but many GPSs still list it as the Hampton Inn.) Our room on the sixth floor was huge with one section containing a king bed and another section, with a wall in between, containing a sleeper sofa for the kids along with a mini-fridge, microwave and coffeemaker; both sections had separate flat-panel TVs and a sitting areas. The bathroom was equally large with a walk-in shower. The room was spotless with brand-new, comfortable beds and furnishings. The Wi-Fi was strong and fast even though our room was in the back corner of the building and our room on the sixth floor did offer us a view of the Ohio River and Cincinnati on the other side but there is probably little view from most of the lower floors as the levy along the river likely cuts off the view. The complimentary breakfast was very good with cereal, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs and two types of scrambled eggs, hash browns and maple sausage (made popular originally in the Cincinnati area, once known as Porkopolis, by a UC grad) but I was surprised by the lack of cups of fruit flavored yogurt that are a staple at other hotel breakfasts and an item I always look forward to. Located near the base of the I71/75 bridge over the Ohio, access to downtown Cincinnati was reasonable even in the morning rush as the major bridge work, now complete, was winding down during our stay. Parking is complimentary and although some other reviewers expressed concern over the liquor store next door, it is a clean, well maintained facility that caused us no concern.

I have stayed at this hotel multiple times. It has even changed chains and I find the hotel and services to make it one of my favorite places to visit. Accessible rooms are well designed and functional. The breakfast service is varied, tasty and healthy. Our visits are to a local hospital and come with the stressors that are implied. Everything about this location and the service they offer makes the trip easier for our entire family.

This remodeled hotel is beautiful. The lobby is very modern and inviting. Guest rooms are extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was very good and the presented like you were in someone's kitchen. Hotel staff is helpful and friendly - everyone says hello as you pass, asks if you need anything, etc.. The location is convenient - literally right off the bridge from Cincinnati. Got a very good price by booking direct on the hotel website. Better than Expedia or the other sites that I usually use.

Traveled with friends for a weekend baseball series in Cincinnati. The Best Western was newly remodeled. Great amenities. The local public transportation system provided a shuttle to and from the ballpark. The pick up was a short walk from the hotel. The cost was $1.00 per trip, very reasonable and great drop off/pick up locations.

I was there Aug. 16-19 to visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter with a group from our church. I was very very happy with staying here. The rooms were so clean and refreshing. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was all anyone would want. The kitchen staff were so friendly and helpful and eager to please which they did. And that gravy and biscuits were to die for. I would definite recommend this hotel and would stay again. The only suggestion I would make would be for them to consider putting exhaust fans in the bathrooms as they really get fogged up while taking a shower. Thank you for making our visit so pleasant and enjoyable.

Clean and updated room. High beds and comfy. Will definitely stay again. I wish the cost was less. Lots of food places near which is a huge plus. Loved the free breakfast. Wish they would add turkey meats as I don't eat pork. I'm very picky so you can count on this being a great review.

Beth W, General Manager at Best Western Plus Cincinnati Riverfront Downtown Area, responded to this review
Thank you so much for the awesome review! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and that you would return. Please ask the attendant for turkey products next time you are in, they can always pop some in the oven for you if it isn't on the buffet. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

This was a short overnight trip after the evening tennis matches in Mason. Pricing was much better than the hotels nearer the venue. Was alerted in advance of the best way to get to the hotel due to a freeway closure which is supposed to be completed before the end of August if you are coming from the north on I71. The hotel completed a renovation in July so everything had a new feel to it. The room was extremely comfortable and included a microwave and mini refrigerator if you needed to use them. The bed was great as we both enjoyed a restful night's sleep. Breakfast is an upgrade to some of the other hotels that provide a complimentary breakfast. The maple sausage was delicious and there were two options for scrambled eggs. There was a nice assortment of fresh fruit as well as many other breakfast options. When arriving and departing from the hotel, Cris P. was there to greet us with a smile. If you stay at the hotel you will know who or should I say what I am referring to.

Very clean rooms, updated, soft, comfy beds, superb breakfast. My son and I had a room with two queen beds which were extremely comfortable. Everything about the room was satisfying. They even put the TV remote in a fresh bag so you knew it was clean. The bathroom was roomy and the towels were fresh and fluffy.

Whenever I come to the area I stay @ this location. I liked it when it was Hampton Inn but like it better as Best Western. Recently since staying @ this location so often I have become more and more friendly with staff. A few of them consider me a regular so I feel like family.

I had a wonderful experience checking in and out. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, smelled good, was nicely decorated, and a very comfortable temperature. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and provided a good nights rest. The breakfast was great. There were many options and everything was delicious. All the staff we interacted with were all very friendly. The only negative comments would be that the indoor pool was quite cold and the location is not great. Security did not seem to be an issue though. I would stay again.

When we pulled up to the hotel I was a little surprised by the fact that there was a liquor store in the parking lot. We booked the stay for my sons visit to Cincinnati Children's. I booked this hotel based on good reviews on trip advisor. The parking lot had quite a bit of traffic and wasn't the best. The actual hotel was very nice and the staff, especially the manager were friendly and helpful. The pool area was clean and nice and a good size. The breakfast was probably the best part. It was a hearty hot breakfast with eggs and different selections daily like sausage and bacon. Overall in spite of the neighborhood and traffic we would stay here again.

I am not familiar with Cincinnati area. Needed a place to shower and lay my head while child was at Children's Hospital. The hotel itself is great. Served is purpose. I did not check out any amenities, did not care about a view (good thing bc I did not have anything exciting to look at). Bed was perfect, room clean and spacious. Things outside of BW control are my reason for an overall low review. The liquor store and smoke store only feet from the BW - their patrons, made me nervous. I71 was closed for construction during the time of my stay. There are other bridges to cross to get in to Cincinnati, however - my biggest complaint is geared at the city of Covington - there are no street signs at intersections. So when given directions such as "turn right on 4th street", finding 4th Street is a crapshoot. Google Maps GPS was worthless in this area. If under stress due to personal circumstances (a child at Children's Hospital), I analysis would not recommend this BW location.

We visit the Children's hospital twice a year for check ups for my son. This is the only place we have stayed since starting to visit the Children's hospital. One because my son doesn't like change but two because the service and staff was so great there was no need for the change! We enjoy our stay each and every time! Thank you for being so friendly and welcoming! Makes things easier for sure!

They did not know how to process BW gift cards. After 15 min at checkout trying to process, I asked for copy of bill with signed note that I paid with gift cards. Also was promised an email with receipt, which was not received 24 hour later........still trying to process cards? Beautiful room but window so dirty could hardly see out of it. Outstanding breakfast...congrats to cheerful lady who did it!

We stayed at this hotel a couple of times before when it was previously a Hampton Inn. After discovering that the hotel had under gone renovations to become a BW Plus, we decided to book a room anyway for the July 1st weekend to see the Reds play. Reasonably priced and convenient to the ball park and downtown Cincinnati as well as close to freeway accessibility. Renovations transformed the hotel with a totally updated decor, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and nice pool. (No hot tub) Not being a fan of tasteless "egg beaters" style scrambled eggs, the complimentary breakfast was adequate with a variety of other breakfast selections including smoked sausage, hard-boiled eggs, "make-your-own" waffles, oatmeal/cereal, bagels, danish, yogurt, and fresh fruit. There is a trolley/shuttle service a few blocks away, but we opted to tap and ride this time for $6 to the entrance of the ball park. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but we noticed that many guests had pizza delivered to the hotel. All-in-all a nice hotel, and we would definitely stay at this hotel again!!

We choose this BW to stay at because it was convenient to us wanting to go to the Ark Encounter the next day. It was a plus that the staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was good. And the decor was just icing on the cake for us. Worth the extra money as up grade from regular BW.

Staff was delightful, rooms were clean, everything you would expect from a best western, however breakfast was terrible, fake eggs and processed sausage links, also kind of deceiving to call this a riverfront hotel, you can see the flood wall very well, the river not so much also the noise from the bridge was super annoying but obviously can't be helped. If you're not interested in a great view or breakfast this would be a perfect hotel, convenient and friendly. Will certainly stay again next time we're in cincinnati.

This was a pretty standard hotel. We did not have a good view of the river, so its unfair to call it a riverfront hotel. We found the place to be disappointing. They were packed and insisted we had to wait for our room, we were there at check in time, but we told we'd have to wait because the room wasn't ready. Because of the holiday weekend and people calling off work they were behind. Didn't see that as our problem, they want the holiday business, but were not prepared. Disappointed!

Thank you for your feedback from your stay with us. I am not sure which holiday weekend you stayed with us, but I am very sorry you had to wait for your room. You are absolutely correct that any issues we had internally should never effect the guest. Please feel free to contact me if we could discuss further as I do not have your contact information. Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

Thank you for the awesome review from your stay with us! I apologize the evening staff were not as accommodating as the evening and we will work on bringing them up to speed. I am glad you enjoyed the guest rooms! Sincerely, Beth Wuestefeld

The beds were soooo comfortable. We were told this hotel just received a full renovation and it is beautiful. The breakfast was one of the best i have had. The staff and management were so nice at arrival and throughout our stay.
