“Beautiful historic hotel in downtown Cincinnati”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

I've always heard such great things about the hotel so I had high expectations for our first stay here. The Cincinnatian did not disappoint. We booked the AMEX special that included an upgrade. Our room was very tastefully appointed and spacious! Beautiful wood floors, large entryway with a desk, sitting area in the bedroom and separate vanity spaces. The hotel is within walking distance of many downtown attractions, too. If you are looking for a high-end hotel that's well worth the price, I encourage you to stay here.

“Old City Charm and easy access to everything in Downtown!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

The Cincinnatian has done some great room reservations over the last couple years. Being on the historic registry of hotels just adds to the charm. At night you will want to walk only to the south of the hotel as a few blocks north can still be questionable. The rooms are clean and the latest room I stayed in was newly renovated. It had hard wood floors, and a nicely finished bathroom with duel shower heads. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cincinnati for business or pleasure. The staff is helpful and never have problems.

Room Tip: Make sure that your room is one that has been remodeled as those are the best.

“Nice romantic hotel with a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

We received a complimentary upgrade and had a nice room with a vaulted ceiling. We enjoyed the complimentary shuttle which we took the University of Cincinnati for a football game which was extremely convenient.Also, the lounge was very fun with a good live jazz band and tasty drinks.Service was extremely friendly and efficient.

“Great alternative to the Westin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

I travel to Cincinnati for work quite often and usually stay at the Westin because of its rewards program and for the fact it is very modern and clean. However, when it was full I ended up booking at the Cincinnatian. What a beautiful hotel! If you are looking for new and cookie cutter this is not the place for you. This hotel has wonderful character to it, the rooms are quite large and the staff was VERY friendly.

Although the hotel is quite old, it is very well kept and very comfortable. A few highlights were that they have a snack menu that you can order off of all night which is great when you are working late, the gym was basic but more than I needed, and it is in walking distance to most places you need to go.

I would highly suggest this hotel for anyone who is looking for something smaller and more personal.

“Good but not Great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We went to Cincinnati for a weekend getaway. We drove by the hotel twice before noticing the signage.. You must be looking right beside the door to notice the small name plate. Rooms seem to vary quite a bit here. We had a room overlooking the atrium. It was very nice until it was time to sleep. The crowd noise from the bar was so loud and we could not sleep. Overall a very nice place. I agree with a previous review stating the Valet was rude. They were not welcoming at all and was quite abrupt when they so-called welcomed us. I would like to come back here and check out the wine tasting events. For the price of the rooms, I think they need to step it up a notch.. the historic value is what makes this place so special!

Room Tip: Atrium room on the inside was very loud..
