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.

Good value for location, nothing extraordinary

Probably best value for hotel in downtown Cincinnati. Between hotel shuttle and downtown shuttle, it's easy to get to locations within the downtown area or across the river. The rooms weren't anything special. A little out-dated, but clean. If you're looking to getting around Cincinnati/Covington/Newport without having to drive, this is a great location.

Great value

Great value and great location near the heart of downtown Cincinnati; decor is somewhat dated but that is to be expected in an older hotel; rooms are spacious and clean; overall a great value for a downtown suite

Spacious Rooms with Lovely View

We've stayed at this hotel once before. The rooms are a bit dated but they are spacious, clean and comfortable. The balcony with the view of the city is a nice perk. Hotel location is awesome within walking distance of shopping, dining and a terrific coffee house - The Coffee Emporium!

Rented a two bedroom downtown. Had 4 people altogether, 2 per room. Spilt a bag of chips on floor, cleaned up as much as I could without a vacuum. Left crums on ground and got charged and additional 100$ . Hair on beds , library next store blocks view , out dated would never stay there again and would not recommend a friend stay there.

great value, convenient location

The front desk was extremely helpful and accommodating and rounded out a pleasant stay. They offered free downtown shuttle service which we used once. We were in a roomy 2-bedroom suite. It is a convenient, affordable location, near several bus lines, eateries, and downtown. There is also a small in-house cafe. We would stay there again.

Wedding Disaster

The room that we received (the newlyweds) was not at all like the rooms that I was shown or that are in the pictures on the website. Our room was dark, kitchen was in fair condition, bedding and window treatments were very outdated, towels were small and poor quality, beds were uncomfortable, deck had loose stones and large, dangerous steps and we had to call 2 times to get the upstairs A/C working. The room was fairly clean, but badly in need of some TLC. The other guests rooms varied in quality and cleanliness as well. The elevators were extremely slow and one kept getting stuck in the basement, even though no guests wanted to go there. The front desk staff was attentive and kind during the day, however the night shift did not resolve a situation of significance. There were other hotel guests running up and down hallways in the middle of the night, banging on doors and ringing doorbells while singing and yelling. They offered no financial compensation when staff was alerted in the morning. Our hospitality suite with catered menu was of poor value and we brought drinks and other items which were never put out. We were not there to know otherwise. Finally, the parking garage is a good value, however does not have easy access to the hotel. It is open to the public and I had several near misses by individuals who were trying to get home from work in a hurry. We have stayed at many other local hotels downtown, as well as in other cities. This was by far the worst experience and nothing was done by management to rectify the situation. I would highly recommend not booking your wedding there, as they tend to overbook wedding parties and definitely do not use their catering for your event.

Don't bother

Unless you are seeing a concert and want to walk to the US Bank Arena, don't bother. Bad neighborhood with lots of homeless and beggers. Hotel is very dated. Mattresses are lumpy with odd smell on linens. Staff tries. Hotel restaurant was nice. Overpaid through [...]because the rooms were sold out directly. Get a deal with free parking if you can.

Good location, nice large suites.

Close to great downtown restaurants, Arnoff Theater, and quick drive to the Zoo. We stayed in a two bedroom suite that had a large kitchen and living room. Very nice. The 16th floor exercise area that overlooks downtown was super. I will definitely return on my next trip. The only minor inconvenience was the renovations that were taking place in the club area.
