Lovely place, lovely staff, just a few minor irritations.
The hotel is beautiful, both the common areas and our actual room and the staff were super helpful
The shower controller was not securely attached and we had to keep re-attaching it in order to control the shower. The toilet roll holder was also broken - it would've been impossible for the hotel not to have known this.
The air conditioning in the reception bar area was so incredibly cold, I had to wear my coat at the bar!

One of a kind hotel in the heart of Covington that is a treat to stay at.
What a great hotel with amazing style and design. Truly one of a kind! The onsite bar and restaurant is also amazing. Trust me on this, you have to order the tator tots. They are out of this world (and not what your expecting).

Location. Food. Staff.
Booking.com didn't confirm the reservation with Hotel Covington so check in was not smooth. Local staff handled it but had to spend 31 minutes on the phone with Booking.com.

It was so nice and cozy! The on-site hotel is on point. the Wagyu is exceptional.

Passable
Beautiful hotel. The room was beyond what we expected. Room was really clean.
Had an issue with a Senior Manager walking into our room at midnight without knocking or correctly identifying as staff.

Not extremely convenient.
I had to wait a while to be seate for breakfast.
I was unhappy that no coffee was available in the room. Had to go down the hall, down 4 floors, not yet dressed properly for the day, then wait in line for a cup of coffee visible by a restaurant full of others with their hair combed nicely. Heaven forbid you’d want a second cup.

Wish my stay could have been better
The location and surrounding bars/restaurants within walking distance were amazing. Hotel definitely had a more upscale feel. Perfect location for couples wanting a nice getaway.
Room was not sanitary or thoroughly quality controlled and wasn't considered clean to my expectations. Fire alarm went off at 4am due to a resident smoking in the room. Whole building had to evacuate which was a major inconvenience.

It was an okay experience, but next time, we will stay somewhere else.
The valet parking was amazing, as well as the front desk staff. Super helpful and friendly. They allowed us to check in early and brought us an item we forgot in our car to our room since we used valet parking. Ice is delivered to the rooms upon request.
The rooms are very small, not enough blankets, to adjust the shower after turning it on you will either get burned or frozen as the shower head is on the opposite side where the glass swinging shower door opened, no fan in the bathroom to help cut down the steam, the ENTIRE lobby stunk because they apparently pump their “signature scent” in the hotel and it smells like the worst stinky perfume you could imagine, the staff at the bar was okay but none of them were very friendly or personable at all.
