The surrounding area is something to be desired. After reading the reviews on here, I was concerned about it prior to leaving. I will admit, it was a poor area and not very nice. But I never felt unsafe or scared. There is a great little area called Clifton near the hotel. It's a strip of land that has a... more

I was most impressed by the "Bellman/van driver asking me if I was "expecting". Meanwhile, I am 50 ......something, minding my own business and trying to be friendly to the person. You need to teach your personnel etiquette. I only weigh 127 #, what is the guy going to say to someone larger? He was very rude and needs to... more

Got a great last minute deal on a car and this hotel at $85/night through Orbitz. Price was offset slightly by the expensive parking at $15/night, for in-and-out privileges, or $8/night for a one time visit. You do not want to park on the street. U of Cincinnati is surrounded by a terrible neighborhood so you are hotel-bound after dark.... more

No offense, to Cincinnatians, but this is a sketchy neighbourhood to put your crown-jewel hospitals in. The town needs to clean up a lot of the area. That said, the hotel makes the best of its surroundings amidst a huge medical campus and urban university. It is a newer property, but university-led cost-cutting and cheapness was very evident throughout my... more

The Kingsgate Marriott features extremely comfortable rooms, a good business center (one level below the lobby), friendly staff, a decent restaurant (though not that many healthy options for breakfast), and a nice fitness center. It's also conveniently located near UC. I'd recommend it for anyone travelling to the area to visit UC or for other business- it's very comfortable, bright... more

Our daughter planned her wedding in Cincinnati and booked the Kingsgate Marriott for the reception. The staff was pleasantly friendly and attentive to all details and gave us the best memories we could have wanted. The suites were fabulous and all our guests stayed on the premises. The beds are the best ever!! The array of cheeses and crackers and... more

Considering the great price I got on Priceline, this hotel is fantastic. I attended a football game at UC, and stayed at this hotel overnight. You cannot beat the location, and the hotel common areas and the rooms were very clean & well maintained. If you're doing something at UC, I cannot imagine staying at any other hotel in the... more

The hotel was very nice, very accomodating. My daughter was at UC for an audition and her time was not until after 2pm, they immediately gave us a 3pm check out. Beds very comfortable, lots of pillows,. Restaurant was mediocre. My food was not bad just lacking in taste. My daughter had chicken tender that were so overcooked they were... more

I've been staying here every time I travel to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital for work. The rates are a little expensive given the area (there's not much around except the hospitals and U of Cincy) but there is a complimentary shuttle service that will take you anywhere nearby. Unfortunately there's only one van so sometimes the wait can be upwards... more
