The location is great for attending both Great American Ball Park and the football stadium. Check in was great, Kristina was great to deal with!! One elevator stunk like vomit, someone had apparently barfed in it and it had been cleaned, but not well enough (confirmed by staff). Room was what you would expect at the price point. Carpet needs to be cleaned in the rooms, you can actually feel it. Bathrooms only have a glass door, so they definitely don't provide very much privacy. GEST shuttles are great for games as well as getting up town in Covington. Mediocre at best and although there were some positives, we likley wouldn't return.
