Residence Inn Cincinnati Downtown
#10 in Cincinnati, 4.5/5 Google rating
In Cincinnati, Residence Inn Cincinnati Downtown earns its place on our list on the strength of its verified guest reviews, not a press release.

What guests consistently say
Two themes repeat across recent Tripadvisor, Yelp and Marriott reviews. The rooftop comes first: Top of the Park, recently expanded to a second level, draws steady praise for near-360-degree views over Lytle Park, the Ohio River and Mount Adams. Staff come second, front desk and valet alike read as prompt and attentive review after review. The apartment-style suites with full kitchens and the complimentary breakfast do what the extended-stay format promises. The gripes are specific, not vague. Parking is valet only, about $40 a night and occasionally closer to $50, with no self-park alternative. The building sits near several busy interstates, so higher or street-facing rooms can catch road noise at night. Housekeeping consistency draws the occasional complaint. Ask for a quieter, higher room and price the valet into the stay.
Honest trade-offs
- Valet is the only on-site parking, about $40 a night and sometimes near $50, with no self-park option, so build it into the budget.
- Several busy interstates run close to the historic Phelps Building; request a higher or interior room if road noise at night bothers you.
- Housekeeping consistency draws occasional complaints across recent reviews; flag any room or supply issue at the front desk early rather than at checkout.
