Top Smale Riverfront Park Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

8/10 Good

"#1)They checked us into a room that was already being used. We went in the room and someone’s stuff was in the room! #2) After we got a non-occupied room, the air conditioning unit was SO noisy. But not in a nice relaxing white noise way. More like it sounded like a tarp flapping in the wind and rattling like crazy. #3) Also, NO HOT WATER!!! Beware! Several nights we let it run for about 20 minutes and it never got hotter than lukewarm. Only one night out of our 5 night stay did we have hot water. #4) no parking at the hotel unless you want to pay valet $60 per night!! So be mindful that there aren’t parking options unless you pay to park. We found a place a block away that was $21 a night."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Cincinnati-Downtown

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed the hotel and it was in a great area. We were able to walk to several restaurants for dinner and the Great American Ball Park. We had a large bedroom suite that worked perfectly for my family. My only complaint about the hotel room is there wasn't enough trash cans. With having kitchenette it would have been nice to have a trash can in the kitchen area. We only had one small one in the living room and one in the bathroom. We had to take larger trash items to breakfast to dispose of. We also were charged double for parking. We were charged by the hotel valet and then again by the parking garage. I called the hotel (and am still waiting to hear back) to resolve but ended up doing some research and connecting with the parking garage directly. After providing some receipts and screenshots, they were able to refund my credit card. Overall, we would stay here again."

Hampton Inn & Suites Cincinnati-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful nostalgic hotel with nice lounging and breakfast areas. Hotel room was spacious, clean and decorated and large bathroom with ample shelving for hygiene products. Great gym as well. Breakfast was excellent with healthy options. Home fries were amazing fresh & tasty. Staff were very friendly and courteous."

Radisson Hotel Cincinnati Riverfront

6/10 Okay

"This Radisson has seen its better days. Its getting quite old, but fairly well maintained. I do have an issue with how bad the elevators sounded, it was a little worrisome each time I rode in it. The rooms were still kept clean. For the price, better than other places in the area and very convenient for football and baseball games in Cincinnati. They did charge $10 per day parking fee which I do not remember seeing on the online site."

Moxy Cincinnati Downtown

6/10 Okay

"Check in was supposed to be after three PM, but we didn’t get a room until four thirty PM. The rooms appeared to be pre assigned. Someone one we know got a room immediately after they got a room that had not been cleaned. So there was available cleaned rooms, but the staff made us wait. Liked proximity to the Great American ball park."
