“Great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Our recent stay at the Westin Cincinnati was very pleasant. We enjoy staying here because of it's great location and good service. A nice view of Fountain Square and at this time they are getting the tree ready for the annual tree-lighting coming up this Friday.
We love to eat at Ingredients and enjoy walking through the hotel and looking at all the photos of "old Cincinnati". Also,gotta love those heavenly beds!

“Fine Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Spent one night here on business. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. I wouldn't say it was luxurious, but it was adequate without any issues. There was a good desk and enough outlet space (not high style, but they had a power strip under the bed where you could charge all devices overnight). I didn't take advantage of it, but I really like the idea that they will lend you sneakers & gym clothes to work out in so you don't have to pack them in your suitcase. I would call this an average Westin (building seems a bit old) if you're familiar with the chain's other properties.

“Good business hotel, limited dining options”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Best thing about the Westin is the great location across from Fountain Square and therefore accessible to all downtown Cincinnati restaurants & bars, with the friendly and efficient staff coming a close second. Worst thing is probably the limited in-hotel dining options, which isn't too much of a disadvantage given many dining options around the hotel area.

The restaurant downstairs, 'Ingredients' has a limited menu but very friendly staff and an excellent salad bar. Rooms are of reasonable size and well-maintained. The staff at the desk as well as housekeeping are helpful and efficient. The 24 hour gym is well-equipped and their $5 westin workout option (gym clothes and shoes for $5) is a great idea when traveling light.

Room Tip: rooms overlooking the square have a good view but can let noise in

“Poor quality for a Westin”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

If you want a hotel that has a cafeteria for a restaurant , if you want an office building filled with bums at night to be your hotel, if you want the head of security to be an arrogant fool who has forgotten who the guests are and whom the bums are, if you want to have to walk over vomit on the sidewalk of the hotel circular driveway which the hotel employees make no attempt to clean , and if you want a room whose bathrooms are as small as a stamp , the Westin Cincinnati is perfect for you.

Room Tip: Don't stay
