Hampton Inn Blue Ash/Cincinnati Cincinnati (OH) United States

Escape to Cincinnati: Luxurious Hampton Inn Blue Ash Awaits!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the Hampton Inn Blue Ash – Cincinnati's answer to… well, a really comfy hug, I guess. Let's be real, "luxurious" might be stretching it a tiny bit, but hey, after the week I've had, a clean room and a decent coffee are practically royalty. This review is gonna be less "polished travel brochure" and more "honest, sleep-deprived traveler spilling the tea (or, in my case, the lukewarm hotel coffee)."

The Accessibility Angle (Because, You Know, Life Happens)

First things first, accessibility. This is HUGE. The Hampton Inn Blue Ash, by and large, seems to get it. They offer facilities for disabled guests, have an elevator (thank God!), and the rooms are mostly wheelchair accessible. I didn't personally test the wheelchair situation (thankfully!), but from my research and the hotel's descriptions, they seem to be making an effort. This is a massive win, genuinely. Plus, the exterior corridor setup makes for easy navigation, though it does mean you might hear the occasional late-night reveler. (More on that later.)

Cleanliness & Safety: Because Pandemic Times Are Still a Thing

Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the 'Rona. The Hampton Inn Blue Ash… well, they're trying. They're hitting all the right buzzwords, which, honestly, is reassuring. Anti-viral cleaning products, professional-grade sanitizing services, rooms sanitized between stays… the whole shebang. They even have hand sanitizer everywhere and staff trained in safety protocol. I saw them wiping down elevator buttons. Score! Did I still feel totally safe? Maybe. Did I also wipe everything again with my own wipes? You betcha. That's just the world we live in now, folks. They offer Room sanitization opt-out available, allowing you to choose based on your preferences.

A minor gripe, though is the Shared stationery removed: It’s not the end of the world but my pen was out on the day I needed to sign something and I had to go back down to the front desk instead.

The Room: A Temporary Sanctuary… Mostly

The room itself? Standard Hampton Inn. Air conditioning, free Wi-Fi (in all rooms! Praise be!), a desk to pretend you're working at, and a mini-fridge to stash your celebratory champagne. Oh, and a coffee/tea maker. Crucial. The blackout curtains are a godsend for weary travelers. My room also included free bottled water. I love a seating area and a mirror. I also enjoyed additional toilet, bathrobes, hair dryer, safe box, and smoke detector. My room also had a window that opens which is always a bonus.

Now, the imperfections. My room's pillows weren't exactly cloud-like, and the carpeting (while clean) was a bit, well, beige. The alarm clock was from the dark ages (seriously, who uses those anymore?), and I’m pretty sure I heard someone's phone alarm going off across the hall at 3 AM. Annoying, but hey, you can't expect perfection. After all, it is a hotel. And it is a Hampton Inn. The soundproofing was decent, but the exterior corridor did make for a few noisy moments.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure

Okay, the breakfast. This is where things get… interesting. They offer a buffet in restaurant and breakfast [buffet] The buffet was… what you expect. Standard hotel fare. Scrambled eggs that tasted vaguely of cardboard, reheated sausage, and the usual suspects. But the coffee shop was open and the coffee/tea in restaurant was hot, so I can not complain. I also liked the availability of a bottle of water.

There's a snack bar (perfect for late-night cravings), and a restaurant. They say they offer A la carte in restaurant; however, I didn’t order any salad in restaurant or soup in restaurant. There is also a Poolside bar.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: When You're Not Just Sleeping (or Wasting Time on Your Phone)

Honestly, I didn't get a chance to venture far, but the Hampton Inn has a swimming pool [outdoor], a fitness center, a gym/fitness (though I suspect it involves a treadmill and some dusty weights), and access to a spa. The thing is, I was tired, that's all. I slept in the bed. However, It’s cool that they offer those amenities.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference

The front desk [24-hour] is a lifesaver. I checked in late and the staff was friendly and efficient. They also offer a concierge. They have daily housekeeping. They have a car park [free of charge]. They also offer luggage storage. They offered a cash withdrawal service.

I appreciated the contactless check-in/out, especially during these germy times. They even have a convenience store for those forgotten essentials (like, you know, chocolate). They offer dry cleaning and laundry service. However, it's fair to admit that I didn't utilize many of the other services, but they are there.

Internet, Internet, Internet (Because We're All Addicted)

The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a HUGE plus. I'm talking, practically essential. The Internet access – wireless was good. I'm a sucker for the Internet access – LAN. No complaints. Did I mention the Wi-Fi in public areas? It works!

Okay, Time for MY Verdict

The Hampton Inn Blue Ash isn't going to win any awards for groundbreaking hotel design. It's not the Ritz. But (and this is a big but), it's clean, convenient, generally accessible, and the staff is genuinely nice. It's a perfectly serviceable hotel. And sometimes, that's all you need. I will rate it 7 out of 10.

Hampton Inn Blue Ash/Cincinnati Cincinnati (OH) United States

Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a whirlwind tour of… well, Hampton Inn Blue Ash/Cincinnati. It's not exactly the Seychelles, I know, but hey, sometimes you gotta work with what you got, and this is what I've got. Here's the plan, or rather, the suggestion of a plan, because let's be real, I'm as likely to stick to it as I am to suddenly become fluent in Klingon.

Day 1: Arrival, Existential Dread, and the Search for Decent Coffee

1:00 PM: Land in Cincinnati. Okay, smooth flight. Except, the guy next to me coughed directly into my ear the entire time. The entire time. I'm pretty sure I'm incubating something now. Pray for me.
1:30 PM: Arrive at the Hampton Inn. It looks… like a Hampton Inn. You know, beige. Kind of promising in a "clean and predictable" sort of way. The front desk guy, bless his heart, is wearing a nametag that's slightly crooked. This is already a relatable vibe.
2:00 PM: Room check-in. Ah, Room 312. The air conditioning hums a lonely tune. I unpack. First priority: locate the coffee situation. I'm a caffeine fiend, and a grumpy one at that.
2:30 PM: The coffee situation. Okay, here’s the first crisis. The in-room coffee maker looks like it's been through a war. I’m a little… concerned about what kind of sediment is in that thing. I’m not entirely sure I'm ready to trust it. The lobby coffee, though… it’s that generic, lukewarm brown water that you get at conferences. My soul weeps.
3:00 PM: Okay, walking into a Starbucks. I'm starting to think I have severe separation anxiety from decent coffee. I over-order a venti, and immediately spill half of it on my jeans. This is going great.
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Contemplating the vast emptiness of the internet in my room. The WiFi is…okay. The hotel pillows are… okay. Existential dread slowly creeps in. What am I even doing here? Why did I leave my comfy couch?
6:00 PM: Dinner: A sad little pizza from a chain, delivered to my room. I realize I haven’t left the hotel all day. This is not a good sign. I start to feel a little bit… like a prisoner. A pizza-eating prisoner.
7:00 PM: Try to watch TV. The selection is… questionable. I end up watching a nature documentary about penguins. Suddenly, everything feels better. This is probably the highlight of my day.
9:00 PM: Sleep. Or attempt to. The air conditioning is still humming, and the guy two rooms down is apparently having a pillow fight with a chainsaw.

Day 2: A Glimmer of Hope (And Possibly, Chipotle)

7:00 AM: Wake up. The hum is still humming. I decide to live dangerously and try the in-room coffee. It's… surprisingly drinkable! Maybe the war-torn machine just needed a good warm-up.
8:00 AM: Breakfast at the Hampton Inn. Standard continental fare. Waffles. Plastic-wrapped muffins. I load up on the fruit (trying to offset the pizza from last night) and force a smile.
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Work (bleh!). The hotel room is surprisingly conducive to productivity. At least, once I figured out how to stop the AC from sounding like a dying banshee.
12:30 PM: Lunch: Chipotle. YES. Sweet, delicious, customizable Mexican. I think I dream about Chipotle sometimes. I nearly burst into tears of joy when I see the giant burrito.
1:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Exploring… Blue Ash? I drive around aimlessly, trying to find something, anything interesting. There's a park. It’s… a park. There's a strip mall. More strip malls. This area is… fine.
4:00 PM: Decide to go back to the hotel.
4:30 PM: Start the process to find something interesting to watch on TV. It’s a gamble. It usually turns out to be a movie I've seen 10 times.
6:00 PM: Dinner: I decide to treat myself and order from a local restaurant. I'm craving something… comforting. Comfort food.
7:00 PM: It arrives. The food is delicious.
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Watch another movie from the TV. This time, I've never seen.
10:00 PM: Bed.

Day 3: Departure (And a Little Bit of Nostalgia)

7:00 AM: Same routine. Wake up. Coffee. Continental Breakfast. I'm getting good at this.
9:00 AM: Pack up. This is always the saddest part. Like, leaving a friend that you just got to know.
10:00 AM: Check out. The crooked nametag guy is on duty again. He smiles. I smile back. Maybe this place wasn't so bad after all.
10:30 AM: Drive to the airport.
11:00 AM: Plane is on time.
11:30 AM: Take off. I'm out.

Okay, so maybe the Hampton Inn wasn't exactly a life-altering experience. But hey, I survived. I drank questionable coffee. I ate pizza with a side of existential dread. And I learned that even a slightly crooked name tag can offer a little bit of human connection. So, you know what? Not a bad trip, all things considered. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find a real coffee shop.

Escape to Cincinnati: Hampton Inn Blue Ash - The Real Deal? (Or Just a Shiny Brochure?) Let's Get Messy!

So, Blue Ash? Is it, like, ACTUALLY Cincinnati, or more... Suburban Purgatory?

Alright, let's be real. "Cincinnati" is maybe a LITTLE generous. Blue Ash is... well, it's SOLID Cincinnati-adjacent. Think of it as the cool kid's older, sensible sibling. You *can* get to the good stuff – the museums downtown, the weird little bars in OTR – but you gotta *drive*. And traffic in Cincy? Don't get me started. I once sat in gridlock for 45 minutes, just to move three blocks. But, on the plus side, Blue Ash offers *peace*. And convenience stores. And a sense of... order. Which, after a long day of, say, *exploring the chaos of Findlay Market,* is a beautiful thing. It's a trade-off, folks. A trade-off I'm usually willing to make after all the craziness.

The Hampton Inn Blue Ash – Is it... Decent? Like, Not Crime-Scene-Level Decent?

Okay, let's talk Hampton Inn. Honestly? It's… fine. *Really* fine. Like, reliable-Honda-Civic-of-hotel-rooms fine. Don't expect luxury – the mini-shampoo bottles are practically micro-scopic – but it's clean, generally quiet (aside from the occasional late-night door slam, which I swear always happens when you're *finally* drifting off), and the staff are usually, like, *genuinely* nice. I remember this one lady, she was unbelievably cheerful even at 6 AM when I was stumbling around searching for the coffee. That's a win in my book. And hey, the free breakfast? Don't knock it till you try it. The waffles are surprisingly good. Seriously. Don't judge.

Breakfast: The Make-or-Break of Any Hotel Stay. Spill the Beans (or, I guess, Cereals).

Alright, this is a BIG one. Breakfast. Listen, it's *free*. So adjust your expectations. It's buffet style, meaning… it's buffet style. The usual suspects are there: scrambled eggs that may or may not be vaguely rubbery, sausage patties that look suspiciously uniform, the aforementioned waffle maker (which, I'll say it again, is surprisingly good, don't be a waffle snob!), and a selection of cereals that seems to have been curated by a committee of small children. But, honestly, it works. I ate a full plate of it and then went on a long walk after I left the hotel. I found a park! Which was nice. The coffee is… standard. You won't write home about it, but it'll do the trick. The real star? The *plastic* forks. They're a testament to human ingenuity. Somehow, they always manage to break mid-egg. It's a thrilling addition to the morning.

Anything Actually Cool Nearby? Besides, you know, I-275?

Okay, okay, I’ll give you this: Blue Ash isn't exactly a hotbed of excitement. But! There's a decent park nearby (Blue Ash Nature Center), some pretty good restaurants (mostly chains, but hey, sometimes you crave a Chili's Margarita, right?), and, crucial for any adventurer, a *Target*. The Target is important. Because you WILL forget something. And you'll NEED it. Trust me. Plus, you're a relatively easy drive from Kenwood Towne Centre, which has all the high-end stores. Okay, MAYBE that's not "cool" for everyone, but for me, it's definitely nice! After all, you never know what you're going to need and what you can make with it. Last trip, I actually bought a new pair of sunglasses.

Okay, let's get personal. Any "horror stories" or unexpected triumphs to share, maybe?

Oh, boy. Where do I even *start*? Right, so there was that one time… I was in town for a work conference (eye roll, I know). First, the AC in my room wasn't working. This was in *July*. It was like sleeping in a sauna. I called down to the front desk. They... fixed it. Eventually. But I spent the first night drenched in sweat, convinced I was going to spontaneously combust. And the next morning? The fire alarm. At 3 AM. Turns out, someone burned their toast. *To a cinder. In 3 AM.* I stumbled out of my room, half-asleep, to a symphony of bleary-eyed guests and flashing lights. Not ideal. But here's the triumph! Later, there was a really, REALLY cute dog in the lobby. I got to pet it. So, balance restored? Maybe? I still crave those free waffles.

Is it "worth it"? Should I, like, actually book this thing?

Look, it depends on what you're after. If you want a luxurious, Instagram-worthy experience? Probably not. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, reasonably-priced base of operations for exploring Cincinnati, with free breakfast, and the potential for a cute lobby dog? Then, *maybe*. I'd certainly go back. And I'm a picky person. Seriously. I'm super picky. Book with realistic expectations. And bring earplugs. And maybe a portable fan, just in case the AC fails. But overall? Yeah, it's a solid, safe bet. Consider it... a reliable friend. A friend with questionable coffee, but a heart of gold (and free waffles). Just remember, you're going to be surrounded by a lot of folks in town for similar things, so keep yourself some time. You may need them.

Parking/WiFi/Other Important Practicalities - The Nitty Gritty!

Okay, the *real* stuff. Parking? Free and easy. WiFi? It works, mostly. It's not blazing fast, but it gets the job done. Enough to stream Netflix while you unwind after a long day and make a few posts on social media. They tend to post on the official page. Pool? There is one, it's outside. I never went in, because, you know, weather and whatnot. If you're a swimmer, have at it! But don't expect a full-on resort experience. Gym? I saw a treadmill and a couple of weights. Again, perfectly functional if that's your thing. Me? I prefer the park and the walking. It's very close. Overall? The practicalities are FINE. Nothing spectacular, nothing disastrous. It all fits the bill. It's like the hotel is always saying, "Hey, we'reExplore Hotels
