Does not live up to Embassy standards
Pros:

Location was great. Breakfast was excellent. Rooms were comfortable.

Cons:

Our shower had a glob of tiny hairs stuck in the drain that would come out and go back in every time you turned the shower on. The bathroom had a big burn mark in the middle of the floor that looked like someone had a campfire in the middle of the room. All the towel racks fell off the wall as soon as you touched them.
The man at the restaurant was super nice but incredibly overwhelmed with the crowd. He was working by himself and had a full house. More staff would have been helpful.
The setup to get to the main lobby is confusing and no signage to help find the way.

Adequate for the stay, but will not be back.
Pros:

Breakfast was great. Room was very adequate. Short walk across the bridge to riverfront park

Cons:

Staff could have been more helpful. Hair in tub. Food morsels behind bed table. Phone not working (no dial tone at all). No straight entrance from garage to lobby. Had to take stairs to elevators. Very inconvenient to transport luggage.

This was the worst check in experience I’ve ever had.
Cons:

I arrived at 8:45pm to check in and was told it would take at least an hour to get into my room because of late check outs. I was told I couldn’t receive complimentary drinks while I waited because happy hour was over, so I ended up driving back home. What a terrible experience - I’ll never even consider staying here ever again.

Kids asked to come back to this particular hotel and we stay in a lot of hotels so that’s a huge compliment
Pros:

Such friendly staff. The pool water was perfect. Could have used more towels but no big deal!
Rambunctious kids and a staff member kindly asked for me to calm them down. Everyone was awesome! Brian at the front desk really made us feel welcome!

Cons:

Some things we kind of dated like carpet etc. but no big deal. There was a cockroach in the bathroom come morning but the kids actually found that entertaining

Exactly what we were looking for
Pros:

The breakfast was good. I thought there were a lot of choices. The sausage was not very good. The only thing i would have liked to see on the breakfast bar was boiled eggs.

Cons:

The bathroom needs some repair. The sinks handle were very loose.

It was pleasant enough and clean and comfortable
Pros:

Felt safe and clean

Cons:

Price gouging in the little store and barricading the breakfast door at 10 till 9! Very rude. Watched them deny entry yet threw away tons of food.

This hotel needs some serious TLC!
Pros:

This hotel definitely needs a serious makeover! The rooms are very dated, many things are NOT working and it has a very strong musty smell. Housekeeping is terrible. There were leftover food in the fridge from previous stays and did not get removed even with multiple asks during a 5 day stay. Shower gel containers are empty, not tissue paper and had to ask 4 times to have house keeping. House keeping did not clean the bathroom at all, just put a stack of towers on the sofa , didn’t empty garbage cans , just left a couple of garbage bags on the desk, expecting the customer to empty them??? Carpets are old and dirty, fixtures are very dated. Find it hard to believe this hotel is part of the Hilton chain.

Needs significant improvement.
Pros:

I recently stayed at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The one positive aspect of our stay was the staff, who were extremely friendly and helpful. However, the overall condition of the hotel did not meet expectations. The rooms did not feel properly cleaned or prepared, and several basic amenities were either missing or not functioning. We encountered issues such as dirty rooms, bathroom problems, toilet handles coming loose, bathtubs clogged and missing basic toiletries such as toilet paper, Kleenex and hand soap,
Our group had approximately 40 guests staying at the hotel, and based on what I heard from others, nearly half experienced similar concerns, with some needing to request room changes or ask for maintenance to come to their rooms. Because our trip was booked more than a month in advance, I expected the block of rooms to be inspected and ready before arrival. Simple details, such as ensuring basic toiletries were available, make a significant difference in how guests feel when they arrive.
While I appreciate the kindness of the staff, the hotel itself needs noticeable improvement in cleanliness, room readiness, maintenance, and inventory control. Guests should not have to begin their stay by reporting basic issues that should have been addressed ahead of time. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and uses it as an opportunity to improve the guest experience moving forward.

Poor Experience
Pros:

The room was spacious but had a horrible damp smell. The front desk was rude and provided absolutely no information related to the hotel. I have stayed at 10 separate embassy suites around the country and this was undoubtedly the worst.
