Loved location and value. My family and I have been staying a whole weekend for the past 4 years to attend a Reds game and participate in other activities around the area. We have seen the place go through upgraded renovations which have made it more appealing. I have defended the negative reviews and referred others to this location as well.

I've stayed at this place twice now, and am about to go back for a third time. The location is perfect - not that far from downtown Cincinnati. Near to Newport on the Levy (lots of great restaurants, a Barnes and Noble, and a huge theatre complex). And my sister lives in Newport, which is the main reason for my trip. The lodge is clean. Air-conditioned. Cable TV. Bath and shower. Basic but OK. Good for me.

This hotel was awful. We booked 20 rooms for our rowing team and parents. Someone had dirty towels in their room when we checked in. The sinks didn't work. One toilet didn't work (now who can go the weekend without one??). Some of the phones didn't work. We waited a very long time to get some clean towels so we could shower. ...

But the problem is, the hotel is not well maintained. The worst thing was everywhere in the hotel smelled like ...

We stayed in a smoking room on the ground level. Although the hotel could use a little maintenance it was a decent place to stay and the rate was even better. The view of Cincy at night was excellent from out the room window and it's within a short walking distance to great food, the Aquarium and the Southgate House (great live music!). ...

I stayed at this hotel because I was visiting
the Southgate House (nightclub). I was so impressed with the location. I didn't have time to visit everything that Newport has to offer. The staff was so kind to us. Because of the rate we payed when we checked into the hotel I wasn't expecting what we got. The room had everything we ...

Great location, right across from the aquarium and newport levee. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Nice, clean rooms with everything I needed. Will return soon.

The room had writing on the walls and dried brown stuff on pictures and lamps. Bedspreads had holes in them. The mini refrigerator had spoiled food left in it. Elevators are a ride at your own risk. One of them caught my daughters hand in the door and took my husband everything he could do to get it open and all the staff could say was we will ...
