Top Cincinnati Central Business District Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"All good but hotel internal rooms update needed."

Moxy Cincinnati Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel is cute and clean (once we got the right room) and is located in the downtown business district. It's closer to the banks than OTR, though the free streetcar makes it easy to get anywhere downtown. Unfortunately, when we checked into our room, it was immediately obvious that it hadn't been cleaned after the previous guests, who appeared to have had quite a party. The front desk staff was apologetic and helpful, but it took longer than I would have liked to get us into a clean room. We were on a tight schedule trying to make it to a concert at Riverbend, so the delay was frustrating. We received two complimentary drink tickets at check-in, but the bar closes at 11 p.m., so we couldn't use them after returning from the concert. I also wish valet stayed fully staffed later; after 11 p.m. (last call in Cincinnati is 2:00am), the front desk handles parking, which was a bit confusing. Overall, I think the hotel is a little overpriced for its location and amenities, though it's charming and the staff was friendly. One thing to note: both rooms I saw had interior steps—one had several steps down into the bedroom, and the other had two steps up from the entry. It's an unusual layout that's worth knowing about if you have mobility concerns."

AC Hotel by Marriott Cincinnati at The Banks

8/10 Good

"This place had a great view of the city. They taut the rooftop deck but it is not open any other time than when the bar is open. Would be nice if they had frozen non alcoholic drinks or refreshments up there to enjoy. Maybe an hor d'oeuvres hour to allow the guest to come enjoy the deck first come first serve to allow for occupancy. The grounds of downtown in Cincinnati are beautiful. Close to sporting areas and restaurants to eat. Modern looking room facing the city view was beautiful!You can also get away with not doing the valet parking and just use the connected parking garage which is next to the restaurant outside. Ended up getting free parking because the parking garage machine wasn't working right."

Residence Inn by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown/The Phelps

10/10 Excellent

"Nice breakfast, the staff in the breakfast area kept things stocked. All the staff at check in and out were very helpful. The room was pretty big for a hotel, the building had been built as apartments and converted to a hotel. The hotel is within walking distance to the baseball and football stadiums . There is a nice riverfront park nearby. If I am in Cincinnati again I would definitely look this place up."
