The Spotlight on Quality Inn & Suites Cincinnati Uptown Norwood

Easygoing Comfort Near the Action

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly comfort at Quality Inn & Suites Cincinnati, located right off Interstate 71. This casual hotel is a smart pick for music lovers looking for easy access to Cincinnati’s buzzing live music scene without paying downtown prices. With free WiFi, a daily continental breakfast, and in-room essentials like a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker, it’s got everything you need for a concert weekend done right.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate being just a short drive from major venues like Riverbend Music Center and the University of Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena. The hotel’s location off I-71 makes getting to and from shows quick and easy—even during peak traffic. After the encore, wind down in peace: the hotel is tucked away in a quieter neighborhood, so you can actually sleep. Late-night arrivals? No problem—check-in starts at 3:00 PM and the front desk is staffed 24/7.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base near Cincinnati's music scene
  • Solo travelers chasing that must-see tour
  • Couples turning a concert into a full weekend getaway
  • Fans in need of quiet after a high-energy show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want solid amenities

Food and Drink Options

Start your post-concert morning right with the hotel’s free continental breakfast, served daily. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re within a short drive or ride-share of plenty of local eateries, diners, and late-night food spots. Each room features a microwave and fridge, so midnight snacks are always an option.

Nightlife Options

There’s a bar on-site if you want to toast the night without venturing far. Prefer to explore? The hotel’s central location puts you within easy reach of Cincinnati’s thriving bar and club scene—whether you’re looking for craft cocktails, dive bars, or even more live music.

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and Booking.com consistently mention the value for money, the friendly front desk staff, and the overall quiet atmosphere—especially appreciated after a loud night out. Many also highlight the clean rooms and convenient location for exploring both downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel delivers on comfort and price, some guests note that the decor is a bit dated and the seasonal outdoor pool isn’t always open. Don’t expect luxury, but do expect a clean, functional place to crash after the encore.

The Bottom Line

Quality Inn & Suites Cincinnati offers a no-fuss, affordable stay close to the city’s top concert venues—perfect for music fans who want convenience without the chaos.

Amy, Dennison

Disliked: Very disgusting! I didn't put my suitcase on the floor. I simply did my hair and makeup, went to a concert and checked out and drove home 3 1/2 hours after the concert because it was SO bad! The one door to exit didn't even have a door knob so anyone could walk right in, even if they weren't guests and the hotel staff wasn't pleasant!

This is by far the nastiest hotel I have ever been to in my entire life. I really dont even know how their doors are still open. The rooms smell like B.O. and mildew, there was a hole in our wall, the toilet's tank was broken, the bathroom was too dirty to even think about getting naked in it to shower and I was so grossed out I slept on my clothes on top of the bed because i didnt even want to get under the covers. The only advantage of this hotel is its location THATS IT.

Liked: Location

Do not stay

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The property smells, you could smell weed and dirty pine spray as soon as you walked in the door. The location was in a very bad part of town. And the money was no refundable even though I never ended up checking in due to how disgusted I was upon arrival.
