Fairfield Inn & Suites Newport Cincinnati

The Fairfield Inn and Suites was a very good hotel stay for me. They are located on the shores of the Ohio River in Newport, Kentucky with a great view of the Cincinnati. We arrived after a long drive from Missouri. During the drive, I chatted with the property and asked for an upgrade to a riverview room overlooking Cincinnati. They upgraded me immediately as requested. When I arrived, the two front desk clerks were kind of awkward as both of them were looking down at their cellphones as we arrived. A few awkward seconds later, they acknowledged us and checked us in to our upgraded room. Our room was great! They gave us a nice room with a great view of the river. The room had the king bed that we reserved. It was a very good room for the few hours we would be in there sleeping. Surprisingly, they knew it was my birthday and gave me a very nice card. The gym and breakfast area was on the second floor. The gym had ellipticals, treadmills, and dumb bells. It was enough for me to get a good workout. Sanitizing wipes were also availalbe. The breakfast area was busy both during breakfast and during the night as they had a couple of busloads of people staying there as part of a tour. We were forewarned by the front desk to avoid the breakfast area at a certain time, but, I decided to show up anyways since I needed breakfast. It was a great experience intermingling with tour group. They had just visited the nearby creation museum and were headed to the Noah's Ark exhibit. I asked if I could sneak on the bus. They told me I could try, but, told me that I didn't have an afro and that I didn't have as much melanin as they did. The Fairfield was a great hotel for us. They upgraded us to a better room. It had everything that we wanted.

We were visiting the area for the 1st time for a mini anniversary getaway. We got this spot by random pricebreaker deal on a 2rd party site and very pleasantly surprised. I'd stay here again and again. We had a river view room, parking was free and it was close to everything. We were able to walk to dinner with plenty of options. We even walked down to the levee area. The room was very spacious and clean with a comfy bed. The front desk people were always very friendly and polite as was any other employees we came across. Only thing I wish the coffee option was different and had creamers (we went to store and got 1 for the room fridge). The view was phenomenal of the river and Cincinnati hillside and skyline. This hotel was in a great little area.
