Spacious apartment-style suites in downtown Cincinnati
At Garfield Suites Hotel, in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, all accommodations are suites -- multiroom apartments that are more like a condominium than a traditional hotel room. Guests can expect many of the usual hotel amenities, including free Wi-Fi and a complimentary shuttle to nearby destinations, but also reap the benefits of a stay in a unique smoke-free condominium-like property.
Highlights
  • Smoke-free building
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • All-suite set up with separate bedrooms and kitchen
  • Complimentary shuttle to area destinations
Rooms
Condominium-style suites include one-bedroom and two-bedroom arrangements, with separate living room and fully equipped kitchen. Duplex penthouse, with two bedrooms and balcony, is also available. Standard guestroom amenities include free Wi-Fi, free movies on cable, and DVD player.
Features
Garfield Suites Hotel stands out from the Cincinnati hotel crowd with its condominium-style hotel rooms, which are more like a condominium apartment than a traditional hotel room. Suites have one or two bedrooms, separate living room, and fully equipped kitchen. Some suites, priced slightly higher, have balconies.

Guests can expect many of the same amenities they would find in a traditional hotel while enjoying the comfort and convenience of an apartment. Amenities include free Wi-Fi in suites and throughout the hotel, free cocktails during happy hour one night a week, and a free courtesy van taking guests to and from downtown Cincinnati between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.

Two-story fitness center, in a glassed-in atrium, is well equipped with cardio machines (ellipticals, treadmills, rowing machines, stationery bicycles), free weights, and weight machines. No charge for guests, and free bottled water. Guests who prefer to swim for fitness can ask for a pass at the front desk to the pool at the nearby YMCA, located one block away.

An apartment in the city

This was my second stay at Garfield and I will gladly stay there again. The location to restaurants, theaters, and clubs makes it easy to get around without a car. The best part is the suite itself. It's like having an apartment home in the city. I enjoyed the extra space without the extra expense.

For an inexpensive breakfast and lunch, I would recommend Cafe Martin within the hotel. For a great dinner, I recommend Shanghai Mama at 6th and Sycamore.

Good location, very spacious, but tired

The room was very spacious. A great location to enjoy all there is to do in the downtown area! Easy walk to stadiums, restaurants & clubs. Quick drive to Kentucky riverfront area. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Roomservice is an incredible value -- unlike most hotels! But the decor and furnishings are a little tired & worn. Still a great value for the price!

The downtown mall closes early! Shop early in the day or plan on a 20 minute drive to retailers that stay open past 6 or 7 pm!

Huge Room!

Stayed 3 nights for work. Restaurant was good, [...] at the front desk was great! The rooms were larger than most apartments I've seen, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. Great place for an extended stay in Cincy!

A good value

The Garfield is located downtown and convenient for any destination in the downtown area. I was in town for a baseball game and it was a 15 minute walk to Great American ballpark. However, after dark the neighborhood around the hotel is a bit sketchy so exercise caution. The staff was pleasant enough though perhaps not as helpful as at more upscale hotels.

Another great stay at the Garfield!

We have stayed at the Garfield Suites numerous times--it's the only place we stay in Cincinnati, and we go there at least twice a year on business. The "rooms" were all condos at some point--each is huge, with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, at least two TVs, etc. It is not fancy, but it is clean and comfortable, and the staff members are very nice, accommodating, and helpful. The hotel is located right downtown, near many of Cincinnati's popular attractions. There is a very affordable public garage for parking that is adjacent to the hotel--it is staffed 24/7, and there is a pass-through to go to the hotel straight from the garage--great when the weather is cold. The rates are always reasonable making a stay at the Garfield an excellent deal!

Plenty of space with a wonderful staff

I really didn't know what to expect, so I kept an opened mind. I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were very outdated (probably from the 80's sometime) but the space couldn't be beat for the price. We were in walking distance to fountain square and all the fun stuff. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. It was comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely go back.
