Top Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Hotel Reviews

21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing from the time we checked in late to the moment we checked out. After letting the nighttime front desk attendant of an issue with our room, we were accommodated and moved to an upgraded suite. Everyone was friendly, the rooms were all clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed the museum and art features throughout! I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for unique accommodations on their visit to the city!"

Springhill Suites by Marriott Midtown Cincinnati

8/10 Good

"There was no parking available at the hotel so we had to park in the hospital lot. We still were charged $10. When I am paying over $200 for a night, I would think self parking would be free. Or at least have enough parking."

MainStay Suites Cincinnati University - Uptown

10/10 Excellent

"Great room for the price. Large rooms. Clean. Staff was great. Breakfast went fast and had to wait 15 minutes for more to be brought out. Not a huge deal but we hadn't planned our timing for that. Overall, will stay again"
