Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cincinnati Riverfront by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cincinnati Riverfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great. Room was clean and the staff were awesome. Bed was comfortable. There was always someone at the front desk no matter what time it was. I stayed in 509, the noise from doors slamming woke me up in the morning and I think I was next to the storage room or closet and that door kept opening and closing. But other than that it was great for the price."
