Top California Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Erlanger - Cincinnati South

8/10 Good

"Overall it was clean. Breakfast was enjoyable, and a good variety. The workers at the desk were all helpful. We did notice that no one received hand soap in their rooms, and we had to ask for that. We booked 2 rooms for ourselves and family, and neither one had soap. The carpet did seem to be a little dirty. Overall though, we would give this hotel 4 stars."

Hotel Covington Cincinnati Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice property and the staff were great. I asked for mutiple items the first night and they were very prompt and kind about it, I did the room with the lights outside of it, which were pretty, but they had automatic blackout curtains that made it so you could sleep. Room and bed were very comfortable, everything was very clean and in good shape. Only negative was there was a wedding event downstairs that was loud but they cut the music at 10, so no biggie (last song was Journey, "Don'y stop believin'," always a good choice to end an event with). I was suprised by how many great resturants were around the area."

Comfort Suites Cincinnati University - Downtown

8/10 Good

"The front desk was nice and helpful her name is Brittany. The managers can use a little finesse when dealing with guests sometimes they can come off a little strong I guess it’s just a personality but if your working as a customer manager you should adjust your attitude to be more a little friendly and not come off as a bit abrasive."

Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

8/10 Good

"Very well maintained old style hotel - I dis not appreciate the bartender who made me feel very unwelcomed going so far as having my meal provided to me in a bag when I never said I wanted it to take away - when the mistake was delivered, he did nothing to rectify nor apologize - he could have brought me a plate! - instead he hid. I have never been treated this badly and it was after I had paid and tipped -"
