Top Northern Kentucky University Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Wilder

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a nice quiet facility. The only issue was the bar never opened last night."

21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing from the time we checked in late to the moment we checked out. After letting the nighttime front desk attendant of an issue with our room, we were accommodated and moved to an upgraded suite. Everyone was friendly, the rooms were all clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed the museum and art features throughout! I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for unique accommodations on their visit to the city!"

Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, great staff. 5-star rating. They even accommodated my super picky 5 year old with a custom made fruit bowl."

Hyatt Regency Cincinnati

10/10 Excellent

"great area to walk around"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Newport Cincinnati

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Would recommend. Room were clean and staff was very friendly. All around great stay."

Pickle Factory Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Is as advertised. A good and convenient spot to escape to. Beds were comfortable and room amenities were nice. Beats a regular hotel any day of the week. Good neighborhood. Somewhat noisy at night and early morning. It’s surrounded on all sides by the city life and businesses next to you are opening up while you’re sleeping at 7am. So don’t count on sleeping in if city life noise is an issue. This is smack in the middle of Covington by the way. And if you’ve never been here that’s worth noting. Still, a friendly area."

Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati-Covington

10/10 Excellent

"Location and hotel was clean and well maintained"
