“Decent value - Do you remember "Miami Vice"???”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We chose this property for our out-of-town guests for a wedding reception at the nearby Cincinnati Club. While the proximity of the hotel to the reception hall couldn't have been better, I was a bit concerned about some of the things my guests may have experienced during their stay.

For some reason, there was no valet service and the parking garage, while it is technically next door to the hotel, it IS NOT an easy walk to/from the Garfield. Further, if you're planning a wedding reception or similar event, do not let the hotel staff tell you that your guests can "easily walk from the hotel to the reception hall (Cincinnati Club or The Phoenix) without going outside". You might find your guests days later wandering around the seemingly endless and confusing maze, still trying to find your party!

If you do choose this hotel, you might want to make sure that your guests understand that the rooms are clean and spacious, but not necessarily modern. Our suite, where we hosted a pre-wedding get together and a post-reception party, reminded me of something out of the 1980's TV series "Miami Vice". Lots of glass and gold-chrome trim, textured wallpaper and old track lighting. Yet it was certainly large enough to accomodate 30 to 40 party guests.

We also had a little issue with getting some information (a welcome letter) to our guests as they checked in. So if you do something similar make certain that your requests are EXPLICIT and then check up on the front desk staff frequently.

Soooo...bottom line, you get what you pay for. Affordable rooms, friendly staff, little frills

Room Tip: Bring your food and drinks - plenty of room to store food and cook. Kitchens are pretty well stocke...

“Affordable accomodations! Downtown Cinci!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

This is the 2nd year we've stayed at Garfield Suites Hotel in downtown Cincinnati for an Expo we attend yearly. The rooms are spacious & include a large kitchenette with microwave, stove, & dishwasher. This year we were able to plan ahead & brought food with us to prepare meals throughout the weekend saving us lots of $$ in eating out! Everyone working at the hotel is very accomodating & friendly.
This is an older hotel, but most rooms we have encountered in the hotel have been recently renovated, which is a bonus.
The location is perfect, as we are able to walk to anything we need in downtown Cinci.
If you plan to use the kitchen, be prepared & bring a few items you would need to prepare food with (Bowls, tinfoil, dishsoap, etc...). The kitchen is stocked with a small amount of silverware, plates, cups, & pans.
We love staying at the Garfield hotel. It a great deal in a great location. We will be back next year!! Thank you :)

“excellent location, spacious, comfortable and very affordable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I called the hotel to make a reservation and they gave me the only 3 room suite in the hotel for $119/night. The rooms aren't lavish, but nothing is bad. (could use some updates though) There is a lot of space, a kitchen, living room and balcony. Parking is only $6/night and there's a complimentary shuttle to take you around town.

I'm sure you'll find a nicer hotel but i don't think anyone can beat the value this hotel offers.

“Close to all the action”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Great location in downtown Cincinnati, and very affordable pricing for a Saturday night stay. I am not picky about my hotels though...for me they are mainly just a place to sleep. If the bed is comfortable and the place is clean, I am happy. The suite included a bed room, living room, bathroom, and small kitchen with all appliances. I was only in town one night and chose Garfield Suites based on price and proximity, but this would be an ideal place to stay for longer visit because of the kitchen amenities. The decor was slightly out-dated, but everything was in good condition.

“Needs to be updated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Colleagues and I stayed at the Garfield Suites for a three-day business trip. The hotel is definitely reasonably priced, but could use an update.
Pros: A lot of space (including closets, kitchen, bedroom and living space); free internet; centrally located; attached to a parking garage with low prices; television has a lot of channels

Cons: Outdated television; carpeting is worn; linens are dated and not comfortable; shower/bathroom needs updating; cigarette burns on kitchen counter tops.

I would not stay here again, it's worth spending the extra money if you can afford it.

Other: The bar/restaurant downstairs is reasonably priced with friendly staff.
