Best Residence Inn

The Residence Inn Cincinnati Downtown/The Phelps sits in downtown Cincinnati, less than a mile from The Great American Ball Park and Paul Brown Stadium, home to the MLB's Cincinnati Reds and the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals, respectively. Despite being in the center of the city's action, guests say the property is quiet. Housed in the Phelps Building (originally constructed in 1926), the all-suite hotel is pet-friendly and has 134 rooms. Travelers can choose between studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom layouts; all are outfitted in blues and greens have at least a king-sized bed and a sofa bed (larger rooms have additional sleeping space), swiveling flat-screen TVs that allow you to watch from several spaces and a fully equipped kitchen. Bathrooms have shower and tub combos. Wi-Fi is complimentary, but only valet parking is available and it incurs steep daily rates. The hotel has a small fitness center and is near a jogging trail. Unlike some other Marriott properties, this location offers a complimentary full hot breakfast daily. The Phelps Bar serves tapas and drinks at dinner, but Top of the Park – the property's rooftop bar – is the clear on-site dining choice. With stunning city and Ohio River views, handcrafted cocktails and light bites, it's popular with locals and hotel guests alike.
