Do not recommend at all . The hot water wasn’t working . The wall ports didn’t work . I got a 1pm check out and when I changed room since the water wasn’t working I wasn’t able to get a 1pm check out and they said the person who gave me that is new . I wasn’t able to get an upgraded room . Just a terrible place .

Came for a 2 night stay for a birthday weekend..Always wanted to stay in the Radisson and my expectations were met! Considering its an old hotel, rooms were updated and clean amd check in was quick and painless...We love the Mainstrasse village and was convenient that we could walk across the street to it

Decent location, old property in need of updates.

Staff was good. Property in general is old and needs a lot of updates. Hallways are very dark. Room in general seemed clean, but the hair dryer exterior surface was super dirty and sticky. Easy walk to the MainStrasse area. We did not eat at the restaurants. I’d probably stay at a more updated property if in Covington sgain.

Hotel seemed very ran down and neglected. There was mold and mildew in room. Bathrooms were poorly cleaned. Sheets were not cleaned had stains on them. Carpet and walls had stains as well. We were on the 15th floor and had to take stairs because we could only use the service elevator in the entire hotel for everyone very unsafe as it lead directly into the kitchen and was over crowded because so many people were trying to get down stairs. Property needs serious attention and remodeling. Looked nothing like online photos very misleading.
