Drury Plaza Hotel Cincinnati Florence

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for one night after flying in from the airport. We had a very pleasant stay and a nice dinner with drinks in the restaurant. We skipped breakfast because we had plans elsewhere, but it looked good."

Belterra Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and bed super comfortable. When eating at restaurants or the pool side the staff was super slow. The food at the sports bar was below average. The steak restaurant was amazing. We would have liked to see more of a dress code for the upper end steakhouse though. Someone came in wearing a Homer Simpson tshirt and it just kills the ambiance. We were there for a nice dinner and pay for the experience. We enjoyed the coffee shop every morning as it was quick and easy for when we left the premises for the day. The spa day we had was nice. We did a therapeutic massage and the pressure was just right! We enjoyed sitting in the quiet room for a bit. The price was just about right for the amenities and service, and comparable to Lifetime Fitness’s spa services. Overall it was a decent stay for the trip we planned. Location was decent for a day trip to the Red River Gorge, the Ark Encounter, and some State park hikes."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Dry Ridge by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, staff was great. Seemed to be a shortage in parking, as we struggled to find a spot if we came in after dinner. The indoor pool was COLD, the room it was in was COLD. The breakfast was great and we enjoyed the 24/7 coffee in the lobby. We got in in the evening and was woken up at 4:25 for a tornado. Not the hotel's fault but I think it would have been something to let us know the procedure. We're from the south and we get tornados but aren't able to do anything about them so we just rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. They started yelling telling us to get out of the room, again I know they have no control of the weather, but I think giving us the heads up of what was to be expected if one came through would have been nice. They lost power, I don't know how long but atleast 5 hours. They didn't provide any fruit, muffins, or anything for breakfast. They have them, individually wrapped muffins, and such but they had the breakfast room shut."
