Categories

Cleanliness
6
Multiple reviews cite filthy carpet, hair on furniture/shampoo, urine smell and slime in showers; cleanliness is a notable problem in many rooms despite some clean-smelling rooms elsewhere.
Service
10
Staff were repeatedly described as helpful (switched rooms, friendly) and accommodating in several reports; isolated incidents of abrupt front-desk interaction and missed housekeeping occurred but overall staff responsiveness was a strong point.
Location
10
Location repeatedly praised: convenient to attractions, supermarkets and shops, and generally described as excellent and a key positive.
Room Quality
7
Rooms were described as larger than normal and with good décor in places, but recurring problems (dirty carpet, couch covered in hair, humidity/urine smell, broken locks and nonworking sockets/USB ports) lowered room quality.
Amenities
10
Breakfast, coffee, seating options and other on-site offerings were frequently noted as very good; some issues mentioned (no pool towels, some sockets/USB failed) but amenities overall were a strong positive.
Value for Money
7
Several guests felt price was high given room condition and missed housekeeping, reducing perceived value despite good location and breakfast.
Food and Beverage
10
Breakfast and coffee were praised in multiple reviews (described as very good/delicious); one report noted a poorly stocked buffet, but overall F&B was seen positively.
Overall Experience
8
Mixed experience: friendly staff, good location and breakfast balanced against poor cleanliness, occasional maintenance issues and inconsistent housekeeping, producing an above-average but imperfect stay.

Price was too high for condition of room
Pros:

The carpet, sofa and one area of the shower were dirty. Carpet is filthy.

Cons:

Carpet definitely needs to be cleaned as does sofa. There were times when no one was present at the welcoming desk,

Location is nice but lots of hotels to choose from in the area, fron
Pros:

Cons:

Staff wasn’t able to get rooms close, or care about accommodating request. Front desk male clerk talk at me abruptly and interrupted me when I asked a question. A few lights in room did not work.

Pros:

I liked everything except our room. The facilities and staff were great. The coffee is delicious.

Cons:

The carpet in our room was the dirtiest I've ever seen. I did not complain because we were only staying one night and we only sleeping in the room. The hotel was booked with soccer teams so i knew we couldn't get another room anyway. The couch was covered in hair. I know we had a pet friendly room because we brought our dog, but the carpet was filthy.

Staff was great! Hotel was fine. Breakfast was also good.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We had two rooms and both parties needed to switch rooms. One wasn’t completely cleaned and the other the door lock didn’t work. Staff were great about switching rooms for both rooms.

It was just okay, not great.
Pros:

It was a nice hotel. We enjoyed room and breakfast.

Cons:

We did not get serviced in our room the entire trip. We stayed 3 nights. I saw that Hampton states they do not service u til every other day. That would have been Sunday. We came back late and had no towels or the room arrived at all. Every item we needed we had to go down and fetch ourselves. I and to get towels each day, toilet paper, trash bags. Our trash never got taken out of room as it was full twice. Very disappointed to stay at a hotel and not have a room I paid for be serviced. That’s the entire point of being in a hotel. I have never in my life not experienced someone comes to give towels make beds take out trash etc. I told a man at desk late Sunday and he apologized and that’s it. He said they aren’t a full service but stated that yes they should babe been there Sunday. Also told manager when we left and she said she will add points to my account which doesn’t really help the situation. Was just completely shocked to not get serviced with all four of us as a family in a room. I got tired of going downstairs to desk for our items. Was not a good hotel experience unfortunately.

Breakfast was good, alot of seating and options.

Cons:

Our room: Brown stuff, maybe poop, running down the bathroom door, coffee splashed all in sink, foul smell in room, none of the USB ports worked, half the room sockets didn't work, hair on the shampoo bottle BEFORE we had used it.

Pros:

The décor was nice, and the room was clean and smelled fresh; the breakfast was very good. The location was excellent, with easy access to supermarkets and shops. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

The shower wasn't completely clean. There was slime along the edges of the floor and on the grab bars; some walls had stains, and there was hair in one part of the shower, as if someone had shaved there.

The room stunk BAD, facilities were unclean, and food was gross.
Pros:

Convenience to Kings Island

Cons:

The room smelled STRONGLY of urine and stayed constantly humid. The buffet breakfast was poorly stocked and food was not good quality. No towels available in the pool. Would not stay here again.

excellent Hampton Inn close to the highway and many restaurants.
Pros:

very close to I 71, good varied breakfast, printed out a schedule for the tennis tournament every day, had a $10 per person per leg taxi service available to the venue. rooms were large and well appointed. No issues at all! plenty of stores and restaurants in ferry nearby

Cons:

was maybe slightly higher than I would normally pay for that level of hotel but it was during the tournament so understandable.

Loved the location for the Cincinnatti Open
Pros:

The location was perfect for attending the Cincinnati Open. The shuttle service was wonderful. Staff provided a schedule of play for the day.

The carpeting in our room needed to be replaced. Very stained, dirty.
