Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati Covington

Modern Comfort Just Across the River from the Action

A clean, contemporary stay with riverfront vibes, the Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati Covington brings together comfort, convenience, and a touch of city charm. Located in Covington, KY—just a quick hop across the river from downtown Cincinnati—this 3-star hotel offers a peaceful home base with easy access to the city’s biggest music venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just over a mile from the heart of downtown Cincinnati, making this a smart choice if you're catching a show at Paul Brown Stadium or checking out a gig near the riverfront. Guests love the quick rideshare access and walkable location—about a 9-minute walk to the Northern Kentucky Convention Center and an easy drive to major venues. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals easy, and the free WiFi means no missing out on post-show streaming or social sharing. Better yet, the area is quieter than downtown, perfect for winding down after a high-energy night.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant has you covered for pre-show bites or after-show refueling. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the front desk can offer local recommendations, and there are plenty of walkable restaurants nearby. If you're sleeping in after a late night, the hotel offers a solid breakfast to help you bounce back.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're close to a wide selection of bars, breweries, and lounges in both Covington and Cincinnati. Head over the bridge to check out local craft cocktails or stay nearby for a more laid-back pub scene. Either way, you’re never far from the fun.

What People Say

Travelers often mention the hotel’s great location and clean, comfortable rooms. Many appreciate the easy access to downtown Cincinnati without the hassle of staying in the city core. The friendly staff and updated lobby area also get high marks from guests.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel can be a bit basic when it comes to amenities—no pool or spa here. Others note that rooms facing the highway may hear a bit of road noise, so light sleepers might want to request a quieter room.

The Bottom Line
