When staying here there's no excuse not to get a quick workout in. The gym is open 24/7, it's free and if you forgot your gym clothes and sneakers they have rentals from New Balance ! Stay healthy.

The Hotel Gibson — actually four of them (it kept the same name after each rebuilding) — sat at the corner of 5th and Walnut . The last building (1922) was called the "largest hostelry in the Midwest." Read more

This is one of those you get what ya pay for deals! But with A Taste of Cincinnati right outside your doors what more could you ask for! My only complaint is at these prices Internet should be free!

Ben S

Very good location. Walking distance to everything downtown. Ask for a room with a view of fountain square .

Jerry Dice

Large, well-appointed rooms in the middle of downtown Cincinnati. Definitely will come back next time in town .

David Graves

Ask for a recently renovated room . They exist -- and you won't feel like your in the 90's if you score one.

The Star Theatre sat on 5th Street opposite the Tyler Davidson Fountain (roughly where the Westin is today). Seats cost ten cents. 1920 photo courtesy of Cincinnati Museum Center.

Easy access to fountain square parking at ground level from street entry to fountain square. (Inside Westin) keeps you dry if it is raining.

Mieke Selling

Stop by the front desk to get a free appetizer or desert card with the purchase of an entree at Rock Bottom Brewery across the square!

Kevin Horton

Awesome hotel , great beds, good breakfast , friendly staff , and Thad at the bar is awesome. Be sure to get chips !

Niku

Wonderful westin looking over the square. Parking is a bit of a hassle though. Expensive.

Bryan Baecker

If you need to park the valet is over $20/night. You can find Much cheaper alternatives by self parking in the garage under the Westin or Fountain Square.

John Wooton

Make sure you book on the Westin website. You can get a deluxe room with a view for the same cost of the traditional.

Shannon Perkins

Very nice suite for our anniversary! Bed was extremely comfortable and great view of the ice rink at fountain square!

Denise Sison

For beer lovers, right across Westin over at Fountain Square, Rock Bottom offers their own brewed beers . Nice place to unwind.

In 1928, Cincinnati's most luxurious theater , the Albee Theater , was built on this site. The facade was recreated on the 5th St. side of the convention center . Courtesy cincinnativiews.net.

Try the "green choice" program. If you stay 2+ nights and decline housekeeping for a day, you can earn 500 extra points. Above everything, feel good about doing your bit for the planet.

Kavita Baba

Awesome rooms, and convenient restaurants in building.

Autumn Burton

No Thad at the bar but who cares when u got Miguel and Alison to taking care of u. Great chips too!!

Doug G.

Better get a map if u plan on using the sky mall because it's easy to get lost.

Ryan Johnson

Room service is available 24hrs . Definitely recommend the Steak Frites and Oatmeal . Not necessarily together.

Ich

During summer take the more silent room on the backside even if fountain view is great.

Ro

Has all the bells and whistles of a nice hotel , but needs updating here and there- my shower was janky and some outlets didnt work.

Lisa Cunningham

A great Westin: from the warm welcome at 2:00 to the complimentary upgrade we were given amazing treatment the entire time--stay here if you can!

steve diebels

Use valet ask for Marv to park your car not only quick and safe with your car but also gave me perfect directions!

W. Joe DeMiero

Have Thad serve you a drink at the bar , solve the world's problems, and chat about his board game collection.

Tae Kim

Great location. Very central and close to everything.

Brian Strauss

One of the scuzzier Westins. Nice staff .

Nichole Jackson

We have had a fantastic stay. Enjoyed complimentary strawberries and champagne ...for our anniversary...fantastic

Matt Knust

Hotel could use an upgrade/face lift. First time here since 2013. Hotel room Walls are too thin, you can hear other rooms...

Emilio C

Nice hotel in the middle of downtown Cinci .

Rian

Great location and view !

Aaron W

Love the comfy beds . Great location across from Fountain Square and just a block from the headquarters of Scripps

Jamie Iacobucci

The beautiful view of Fountain Square !

Carla G.

Park in the garage under the hotel and use the skywalks to do all the best shopping. Avoid crossing the street, rain, snow, wind, heat, etc.

Steve White

While you are in Cinci , check out some good places to eat - I reccomend Arnold's for meatballs or Chalk across the river in Covington.

The front desk will loan you an umbrella or New Balance running kit if you have forgotten to pack either.

For a $200+ hotel not located in NY, the rooms and bathroom are tiny.
