We usually stay at Hampton Inn's, for the comfort, cleanliness, and honestly, the breakfast. This was in a good location as we were targeting Newport for most of our activities to Cincinnati this time. Great location, loved that we did not have to pay for parking as many of the other hotels did. City view room was nice. We left the curtains open in our room so we could see all the time. I was not pleased that there was no decaf coffee offered. They said they had pods at the front desk for the room, but that didn't help me, or others, in the lobby, or breakfast areas. My husband was not pleased with the wait for the one, only one, waffle maker. We were there at different times of the morning, so it didn't really matter when you showed up. It was a good 10-15 minute wait for a waffle. Perhaps adding another would be more efficient. Other than that, the staff were friendly, checkin/checkout were easy peasy. Easy walk to the Aquarium/AMC movie theater/Newport on the Levee. The Southbank shuttle bus can get you to the far end if needed.
