The Spotlight on MainStay Suites Cincinnati University - Uptown

Laid-back Comfort Just Minutes from Cincinnati's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, MainStay Suites Cincinnati University - Uptown offers a relaxed stay with all the essentials. Nestled near downtown, this all-suite hotel provides easy access to the city's buzzing venues while giving guests a peaceful place to recharge. Rooms feature inviting designs with select suites offering separate living areas—perfect for stretching out after a big night.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short drive or rideshare from downtown Cincinnati's biggest stages, this hotel is a solid choice for music fans. The late 4:00 PM check-in and noon check-out give flexibility around showtimes, and the overall vibe is quiet enough for a good post-show wind-down. With free breakfast and in-room coffee/tea makers, it's easy to recover the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable suite-style stays
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples wanting a romantic weekend with a concert highlight
  • Fans who want a quiet, no-fuss place to crash after the encore
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

You’ll find a complimentary breakfast every morning—ideal after a late night. While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel is close to several eateries and delivery options. In-room amenities like a coffee maker help fuel your morning after.

Nightlife Options

While MainStay Suites itself doesn’t host live music, it’s within easy reach of Cincinnati’s best nightlife. Bars, lounges, and late-night spots are a quick Uber or Lyft away. It's a nice balance: close to action, but quiet enough to sleep.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, spacious rooms, and the hotel's convenient location that’s still peaceful at night. Many commented on the value for money and how the suites made group travel easy. The complimentary breakfast is also a frequent favorite.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that while the hotel is clean and comfortable, the décor is more functional than fancy. And although it’s close to downtown, you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to get to most venues quickly.

The Bottom Line

A budget-friendly base with plenty of space and comfort, MainStay Suites Cincinnati University - Uptown is a smart pick for music lovers who want easy access to the city's concerts without the downtown price tag.

Poor - 0.5 out of 5

Megan Sat, 14 October 2023

Awful

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: We arrived on a Sunday evening to check in and were told the booking had been cancelled as the university had booked the hotel up until 2025. We received no email detailing this and very little help from the staff member who spoke to us at the door (wouldnt even let us on the lobby). Both mainstay and booking were very poor in communication afterwards (zero response from mainstay and booking dont really seem to care). Shocking service
