• Moved us quickly to a new room.
• There was stool on the toilet of the first room we were assigned and dirt on the walls of the second room we were assigned.

“The sleep number beds were not comfortable.”

• Location is perfect for Northern Kentucky, but not for downtown Cincinnati.
• Sleep number beds seem to be broken too often.

“This was my second stay at this hotel, though it's been years since the first. The rooms appear comfortable enough, but the sleep number beds appear to be broken about 50% of the time. One of the beds in our room was completely flat and would not inflate. Another bed in another room would not budge from the hardest setting. Our room was missing a do not disturb sign, and the housekeeping took full advantage to start disturbing us starting before 9am. On the plus side, housekeeping did retrieve a phone charger for us when we called about it, and held it at the front desk for us to pick up. With changes the hotel could be 3 star, but as is I don't think it's deserving.”

• Immaculate, clean, very helpful staff and very quiet.
• No complaints!

“As a business traveler I enjoyed my stay. Helpful courteous staff easy parking and felt very secure coming in late at night. Did not have time to use the pool but it looked great. Kelly's restaurant was delish! Love having small coffee maker in room. Lots of room on the desk to spread my work out. Great to have office desk chair. Hotel is near the freeway so ask for a room on upper level to do away with traffic noise. Decor was very fresh and relaxing. Long live the sleep bed!”

• The staff - met waiters, bartenders and managers - all were great.
• The location while convenient sits on the interstate - need a room opposite the Interstate - The traffic noise is unbearable for me - Need ear plugs.

“I will stay again, but will request a room away from the interstate the next time. The management and staff was great. New renovations - fresh and clean.”

• It was clean.
• Could not get prompt service.

“There were 3 couples traveling together. No place to sit to converse. Tiny lobby. No gift shop so to speak. Slow service. Very noisy to sleep as it next to freeway. No towels available in pool area. Ask the desk, very slow to respond. Very slow to respond to get any extras in the room. No trash bins easily accessible. Poor parking. No place to sit outside.”

• The view of the city was great.

“We had a great stay. We were pleasantly surprised when we checked into our room and we were looking straight out towards the city/river. There were fireworks the first night around 10:30 when the Reds game ended and the view from the balcony was perfect. The room was recently remodeled and there were no issues with construction (they are working on the third floor and then they will be done). Parking was convenient (we parked in the lot, not the garage). The only issues we had was the plugs by the sink didn't work and the room didn't seem to ever get really cold even thought the thermostat was turned all the way down. All in all a great stay.”

• Freeway noise inside hotel room.

“Decent hotel. Hotel sits right next to I-75 and if you are a light sleeper the freeway traffic will definitely keep you up. If you stay, get a room the opposite side from the freeway.”

• Location to the great American Ballpark.
• Air conditioner in room was poor and restaurant does not spin before 11 AM.

“Pros: This hotel has an excellent location, bus comes and goes to the ball park to hotel, all you can eat breakfast for $9.95 adults/$4.95 kids with a great view, nice indoor/outdoor pool. Cons: Neighborhood looks run down in the surrounding blocks, restaurant does not spin before 11 am so be sure to plan a lunch or dinner if this is important for your traveling experience, air conditioner was poorly cooling the room. Overall this was a good stay.”

• Restaurant.
• Customer service attentiveness.

“The room above must have leaked over from the toilet or bathtub. At 1 AM, we were awaken with water pouring out of the vent in the bathroom and over the outside balcony. I called the front desk and no one ever came to investigate or clean up. We had to go to the lobby to use the restroom or stand in about 1 inches of water at our toilet in our room. We could not shower the next morning, because the bathroom was very dirty from all the water settled overnight. Overall, very dissatisfied with the hotel and we have been coming here once a year for our anniversary for 7 years. We will not stay here ever again. We will dine in the restaurant but find another hotel close by because of this lack of customer attentiveness.”

• It was convenient to where we spent our time.
• The pillows, TV remote, room air not working properly.

“We had to change rooms because the air conditioner was not cooling. By then we had spent two nights not sleeping well. The desk sent maintenance up and said it was fixed, but it froze up again. They finally changed our room. The lamp on one side was not plugged in because there was no outlet there. The remote needed a new battery, the pillows were too flat to prop up for viewing TV, and the rooms were noisy from the Interstate. It was convenient to the riverfront, and Downtown Cincinnati however. But it you like to spend time in the room, stay somewhere else.”

• Comfortable room for a romantic getaway.
• Certain floors were under construction. If you want to sleep in past 9, forget it!

“Our stay was very nice. The revolving restaurant at the top of the hotel, while expensive, was exquisite. The room was perfect for a romantic getaway. The Sleep Number bed ensured that we were both comfortable, and the space in the room was a lot bigger than expected, given the shape of the building. The swimming facility was fantastic and was not busy at all. We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend the Riverfront Radisson to anyone!”

• Clean friendly staff, Nice view, excellent restaurant on 18th floor.
• Poor was closed.

“I was very disappointed that I paid full price for a hotel and did not get to enjoy all of the services. I was not notified until checking in that the pool was under construction, and would be closed for several weeks. One of my reasons for choosing this hotel was the good things that were mentioned about the pool. I just wish the price reflected the construction that was taking place. I will not book there again without calling first.”

• Sleep number double bed. Double beds are not good for 2 people but sleep number beds give you less room because of the plastic frame around the matter.

• Hotel location, front desk staff, & sound insulation.
• : Business car consists of 1 computer & printer.

“We have always been anxious about reserving this hotel because it is an older bldg & is located right next to the freeway but we were pleasantly surprised! The reception area (as well as other public areas) is comfortable and clean and the desk staff very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms are (somewhat) recently updated but clean and comfortable and the sound insulation is very good so noise is not an issue. The "penthouse" restaurant/bar rotates 365 degrees, offering a great view of Cincinnati and surrounding areas but the service and food were both poor. Too bad - that should be a huge moneymaker!”

• The location next to the interstate was great.
• The hotel room was in desperate need of updating and the room/hallway did not smell fresh.

“I found the hotel to be a disappointment for the star level that it was rated. The hotel common areas were nice, but the room and hallways to the rooms were in desperate need of remodeling and/or updating. The hallway and room had an unpleasant odor and the sliding glass doors to the balcony were streaked and dirty. The view from the balcony was a car lot and parking lot. ”

• Very easy to find.
• Room was smallest I have ever seen, very noisy, TV did not work.

“The price was right, so I booked this room for a 2 night stay. When they say "compact," they mean tiny! This was the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in. the room was too small to even accommodate the coffee machine, so they put that in the bathroom. It was possible to sit on the commode, brush your teeth and make coffee, all at the same time! The one double bed actually looked large in this room. It worked okay for me as a solo traveler, but no way would 2 people fit in this room.”

“This was a very nice hotel and very close to downtown Cincinnati. It is within walking distance of Main Strasse, which has turned into a bar haven--would be the perfect place to stay if you wanted to go bar hopping! It was close to the freeway, but was not noisy at all; I could faintly hear trucks driving by, but it was not loud enough to disturb me. Room came with a fridge in it, which was very nice to have. Small complaint: ice machines are on every other floor, but there is no sign to inform you of this. We could not find an ice machine on our floor, and had to call the front desk to find out that we had to go to another floor to get ice. Overall, though, excellent experience!”

• The hotel does feature sleep number beds.
• Generally, the hotel looks and feels rundown/ partially renovated.

“The hotel was not what I would think of as three stars. Technically, it has most of the amenities of a three star hotel, but the hotel in general feels rather rundown. Old, worn fixtures, mislaid carpeting, of all things a lot of the switch and electrical outlet plates were crooked. The lamps by the beds had a burned out bulb, and the other one had no bulb at all. The proximity to the highway did not bother us, but I think we are probably exceptional in this feeling because there was a constantly substantial highway noise.”
