The Spotlight on Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter

All-Suite Riverfront Comfort Just Minutes from Cincinnati's Music Scene

Modern and spacious, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Cincinnati RiverCenter sits right on the south bank of the Ohio River in Covington, KY, offering skyline views and a quick hop over the bridge to downtown Cincinnati. This all-suite hotel is perfect for stretching out before and after a big show, with in-room conveniences like a microwave, mini-fridge, and flat-screen TV. Families, friends, and solo travelers alike will appreciate the free daily breakfast and lively evening reception.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything: you're just across the river from major concert venues in downtown Cincinnati, and within walking distance to fun hangouts like Newport on the Levee and MainStrasse Village. The hotel is far enough from the downtown buzz to offer a quieter post-show retreat, yet close enough to get back quickly via rideshare or even on foot. With check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s time to unwind before and after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for roomy suites and shared space
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert night
  • Fans who want a restful, quiet space after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

The free made-to-order breakfast is a huge plus when you're starting your day late after a night of music. In the evening, enjoy the complimentary reception with drinks and snacks. While there's no 24/7 room service, nearby restaurants and bars are easily walkable, and your suite's microwave makes late-night bites simple.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s a convenient base for exploring Covington’s and Cincinnati’s bars, clubs, and lounges. From laid-back pubs in MainStrasse Village to big-name venues just across the river, your night doesn’t have to end when the concert does. Plus, the hotel's evening reception is a nice pre-game option.

What People Say

Guests rave about the stunning views of the Cincinnati skyline, spacious and clean suites, and the unbeatable location near top attractions and venues. The free breakfast is consistently praised, as is the friendly and helpful staff. Many reviews also mention the hotel’s suitability for both families and adult travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the decor feels a bit dated in places, and a few mention that finding parking in the connected garage can be a little confusing at first. However, these are minor trade-offs for the value and location.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Cincinnati and want space, comfort, and riverfront views—without the downtown noise—Embassy Suites RiverCenter hits all the right notes.

Gary, Sandy Hook, visiting Madison Theater

It's a great location for the Madison Theatre or for sporting events across the river. The complimentary breakfast was great - build your own omelettes!

Liked: All around great.
Disliked: None.

Not completely satisfied

Liked: Location
Disliked: The property was old and out dated. Staff was “ok” not overly helpful. The room was very dirty and smelled like a wet rag.

Not how I wanted to...

Liked: Well the shower head was facing outward so when I turned on the water it sprayed me and all over the floor and it wouldn't turn so I had to take a shower while water sprayed all over the floor. Then I had to use the towels to get up the water so I contacted the front desk for new towels and even explained why and NEVER got the towels. The sink was dirty and this was a stay for my 60th birthday! What a disappointment!
Disliked: I liked the breakfast!

Just really wish I had...

Liked: The breakfast is worth the extra money for the room if that’s something that is important to you. It is a full buffet style breakfast. My husband was super impressed with the made to order omelets, my daughter in law doesn’t eat pork-and it made her feel so welcome that they had both pork & turkey bacon & sausage on the buffet. She was just so happy to eat meat. It is the little things that make you feel like you belong and matter as a guest. Parking was super easy, location is great. If you don’t have a car there is a Cincy Trolly in the area.
Disliked: Nothing-no complaints. The only problem we had as the beds are super comfy and high. My father has Parkinson’s and I didn’t realize he had trouble getting into tall beds-due to loss of mobility in his arms. My mother is older and she had trouble getting into one too. My dad rolled off and got hurt, but that is not the hotels fault. So not sure if the hotel can take requests for stools for shorter or older people..I never thought about it. So if you have some challenges like this-as my parents do, or special needs person, or shorter etc-you may want to ask about how they can accommodate.

Nice hotel - understaffed at...

Liked: The breakfast was good. I would like to commend the lady cooking in the kitchen. I didn't catch her name but she was awesome!! I love the location.
Disliked: The biggest issue I have was they were vastly understaffed. This caused many problems - areas not as clean as they should be, hard to get help with problems such as towels for the pool and room, waiting a long time for questions about procedures to be answered, and we had to check in late because our room wasn't ready. Some of the staff in the breakfast area were rude and unfriendly. Lastly, and this might just be me, the lighting in the room was inadequate. Even with all the lights on the room was shadowy and fairly dark. I also didn't like searching around to find the switches for the lights.

Disappointed

Liked: Social hour, pretty lobby, good views, breakfast
Disliked: Room carpet was missing a chunk, our room smelled & we asked twice for a deodorizer & eventually got help after midnight (couldn't switch rooms bc they were booked), A/C was broken. Overall paid too much for a crappy room

Very good

Liked: Spacious and very clean rooms. great location amazing bar tenders. They ran out of wings but substituted us chicken fingers at no extra cost and love the fact they validate your parking so u can go in and out all day. Very beautiful hotel and our view looking across the river was awesome especially at night
Disliked: Arrived at 230 was told keep checking phone for keyless entry then shortly after 4 it said visit front desk. Line was extremely long. My room got switched then Keyless entry still didn't work. had to stand in line again. It was 515 b4 I gained access to my room. Clerk said card on file declined but gave her same card and it went right through. Bfast was great but omelette line stayed way toooo long with one cook and he was doing everything since someone apparently disappeared. No late check out available. Shower water kept changing hot to cold.
