As a traveler, business and also leisure, there are many reasons to select the correct hotel. Hampton Inn - Newport (Cincinnati) is a Home Run. First of all the property is ran by a Gary Garrison (I took his business card) as Gary treated me as an extreme valued guest, as I am sure all guests are treated this way. Second, the views across the Ohio River of the Cincinnati skyline at night are breath-taking.
Location is also everything. I was able to take a walk directly across the Ohio River into downtown Cincinnati. There is also much to see and do right next to the hotel at Newport at the Levee. In the morning I ran along the river and crossed several bridges that made my run memorable.
Breakfast was served by a very personable associate, although I did not catch their name, as I wish I would have to give them a call-out/thank you.
Worth noting the hotel has a brand new look and feel, as I understand it was not built very long ago.
Outstanding people, views, and location. This was a business trip, although I plan on returning in the near future with my family, as they will love the experience.

We were looking for a place to stay the night before we flew out of the Cincinnati airport. We wanted to avoid the airplane noise so we started looking for hotels close to the Ohio River. We chose the Hampton because it was newer, we could get a room that had a view of the river and downtown Cincinnati, parking was free and easily accessible, and there were a variety of restaurants we could walk to. As a bonus, we found the employees to be very friendly and helpful, the bed was very comfortable, the room was quiet and the drive to the airport was an easy 15 minute trip. Our stay was perfect!
