Room really clean; bed supportive and comfortable; outdoor pool clean and fun to enjoy. Christina at front was warm, attentive, upbeat, and very hospitable...excellent customer service.
Breakfast was good.
The property was not well kept. The pillows had yellow stains and I swear there was bugs biting me in bed. The surrounding area is not good. The staff was accommodating and nice
The staff at the desk was very helpful. She suggested number of local places to eat and very friendly. The breakfast was good. The only thing we did not like was the plastic silverware and styrofoam plates for breakfast.
The hotel is outdated, poor lighting, wasn’t clean, had a spider in the corner bathroom, cigarette burn holes on the curtain and sofa. Stayed one night and moved on to another hotel. The staff was friendly at check in.
first room,,,air cond not working,,,staff immediately moved me to another room after that nooo complaints what so ever,,,,great staff

The location is great for attending both Great American Ball Park and the football stadium. Check in was great, Kristina was great to deal with!! One elevator stunk like vomit, someone had apparently barfed in it and it had been cleaned, but not well enough (confirmed by staff). Room was what you would expect at the price point. Carpet needs to be cleaned in the rooms, you can actually feel it. Bathrooms only have a glass door, so they definitely don't provide very much privacy. GEST shuttles are great for games as well as getting up town in Covington. Mediocre at best and although there were some positives, we likley wouldn't return.
My stay at this Holiday Inn was pretty good. My room was clean, bed was comfortable with clean sheets, bathroom was clean with great water pressure and the one issue with my sink was taken care of quickly, location is convenient to bridges to Cincinnati and food close by.
