We were able to check in a few hours early which was much appreciated. The receptionist then was very friendly and helpful! Our double queen room was clean but a bit dated. It was fine for a one night stay. Several detractors include the cleaning staff beginning to clean rooms at 7am. They were slamming doors and cabinets in adjacent rooms and talking loudly. Breakfast was okay - a bit lackluster compared to other Holiday Inn's. The area is a bit rough, so if you have any concerns or are traveling alone, I would suggest elsewhere.

Really nice stay!

Property was easily accessible to both Cincinnati and Covington. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and well stocked. The breakfast was everything you would want. From eggs and bacon to biscuits and gravy. Plenty of yogurt options and oatmeal as well. Coffee available 24/7 was a perk. Pick up the local shuttle a 4-minute walk away and tour the area for $2.

Absolutely exceptional staff! We were immediately impressed with the kindness and friendliness of the great crew working there. From the front desk check in to the room cleaning associates and the ladies preparing the breakfast service, which was very good and had a great selection of items. Fresh ground coffee was available all day and the rooms were quiet, very clean and well furnished. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next trip.
