Patrick at the front desk has taken great care of us and our 16 month old. He has made our stay great and deserves a raise!

This hotel met expectations in most ways and exceeded them in some. There are fancier hotels in the area if that’s what you want, but this got the job done. Entrance was weird and hallways were creepy but rooms were nice and seemed clean, staff was friendly, and the free breakfast was great. The nice thing about an old building is that the walls were thick so it was quiet in our rooms which is one of my favorite hotel things. The bath tub didn’t drain well and the vibes were strange at times, but overall you get what you pay for (and this is much nicer than what you would get at this price in other places I’ve been.) I would come back here if I’m ever in Cincinnati again- the location was also convenient to downtown.

Awesome Stay at the Hampton. Front Desk was great, Super Friendly, they gave me and my family an easy check in. I’d recommend using valet for your parking! Super Easy they are right out front. Anthony and Josh have great customer service! They helped us with our luggage. Great guys!

Our stay was perfect! The room was very clean and the breakfast was tasty! However, Freddy with the valet service went above and beyond for my wife and I. My wife’s car battery died while she had it parked in the parking deck. Freddy helped us out big time and jumped our car off, getting us back on the road. He also offered to help us load up our luggage and take the luggage cart once we were done with it. All in all, it was a great and we would gladly stay here again.

The Hampton inn is a great place to stay! Especially downtown Cincinnati. The front desk was wonderful, very nice and professional. The best valet service I've ever had, Anthony and Dontez helped me with my luggage all the way to my room.

Room was excellent. Very spacious, well maintained and clean. Staff, front desk, doorman, all very pleasant and helpful. Comfy evening lounge for cocktails was great. Bartender was extremely cordial and helpful. Nice workout room. Free breakfast well above average for Hampton Inns. A real keeper!

Had a great Stay at the Hampton for the weekend. Valet service was great, Jensen & Trevor on the Valet Team were great to work with. Great location for a hotel, close proximity to the Trolly for free transit. Tommy, the bartender on the 3rd floor lounge, was great for giving suggestions on places to eat and things to do!
