Homewood Suites by Hilton Newport Cincinnati

Great brand new hotel, good price, breakfast included. King bed suite so comfortable with a nicely appointed kitchenette. Parking in adjacent garage was included. Be aware of registration and check in is on one side, while the parking garage entry and elevators are on the other side of the complex, but still very convenient. Lots of restaurants in the vicinity, we tried Molly Malone’s!

Rarely do I write a review but this one is necessary. We booked a King suite weeks in advance and when we got to our room it was a single queen (seemed like a full size). Called the desk, they said system says its a king. I was told I could call back tomorrow to speak to a manager, so I did but no manager on duty. I was told the same thing and then said I could call back tomorrow, again. This was a special night and while this will be funny story for our friends (see pic), I am very disappointed in Hilton.

This newer property really delivered. Leonard at the front desk is a perfect brand ambassador and a wealth of knowledge about the property and surrounding area; his smile never wanes and neither does his energy-he really set the tone for a positive stay! This location cannot be beat if attending a concert at Megacorp Pavilion...literally steps away. An easy stroll over the 4th St bridge brings many restaurants and bars in Covington, walk down the street to Newport/Levee offerings, or hop across the river to a Reds game or other Cincinnati fun. I was particularly impressed with the nightly rate, although that is probably a lower promo rate to entice folks to the newer property. Of course everything is clean and new, and the room has everything needed with a full kitchen. If I had to critique anything, it is the greasy breakfast (it is free, so I get it), running out of coffee in the lobby way too early (remedied by the in-room pods), and the confusing parking. There is no need to temp. park/run up to the Plaza level to check-in and then go back and park in the garage if you use the digital check-in on the Hilton app - I even got to choose my own floor and room before I left my house.
