What guests think

Hotel Celare, Cincinnati Midtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel earns praise for its modern, very clean rooms, friendly service, and convenient location across from the University of Cincinnati, with a lively rooftop bar and thoughtful touches like in-room Nespresso machines.

The common drawback is parking, which is paid via valet or a nearby garage and can feel inconvenient or expensive. On-site dining and drinks receive positive feedback, though several reviews mention high breakfast prices or limited staffing at busy times. Expect a stylish, campus-adjacent stay with ample comforts and a social vibe.

The hotel was beautiful. The rooms were great and we liked the rooftop bar. Went there for a drink every night of our 3 night stay. It was fun staying the the university. Would definitely recommend staying at the hotel.

We loved the hotel! The rooms were fresh and clean, the staff were friendly, and the balcony bar was incredible. My only complaint is parking - there was no free parking included for the hotel. You either had to pay $40 to have valet parking overnight or pay a minimum of $26 per night to park in the adjacent garage.

Super friendly and helpful front desk staff! Rooms were well appointed, spacious, and clean. Fitness center is great! It’s near UC so most of the dining options nearby are fast casual, but centrally located so a short drive to other areas downtown.

There are only 3 elevators. One is labeled priority (for special guests, I assume) one worked and the first was out of order. Rooms were clean and bathroom shower was nice, but leaked all on the floor and into hall . No parking onsite unless you pay $40 for valet. Check-in was easy.

The Hotel Celare is beautiful. The beds are comfortable and staff was very friendly! Cap City Diner next door had great food and service and the coffee shop under the Hub had great coffee. My only complaint was how noisy it was outside late into the night, but I realize that's probably just part of being near the university and being below the roof top bar.

This is NOT a hotel for families with children! It’s in the middle of a college with tons of bars and drunks. And they charge you an extra 40 dollars to park your car with their Valet! No other option. Loud partying and music will keep you up all night long.

Very nice facility, new, clean and friendly. However the parking was not included and added $40 @ day. Also breakfast wasn’t included. So this added $100+. It’s very convenient to the university of Cincinnati, literally across the street. But you can’t walk to the Reds ballpark because of terrain and neighborhoods. Lotsa fun university restaurants nearby. Try Avalanche

Very nice interiors, staff is friendly and accommodating. The drinks at The Vick were really delicious. Breakfast at Iris Cafe is decent and reasonably priced. Appreciate the pet-friendly policy. The location is a bit odd (not downtown) but close to the university, was quiet at night. Easy enough to get to desirable restaurants, bars, etc.

This property is part of the Marriott chain. It is located directly across the street from the University of Cincinnati which was so convenient. The hotel is so cool with many artistic flares. The front desk staff was super helpful and very friendly....made us feel so welcome. The room was absolutely perfect. My daughter loved the oversized shower head and amenities. She was very impressed with the gym on our floor too. The bed and pillows were a dream. Very happy with this property and would definitely stay again.

All staff were very friendly and went out of their way to assist us. The Hotel was new, so everything looked clean and fresh. The bar staff were fun to converse with. The cocktails were well made. The wine list was small and could use some work. Even the Valet was personable. Staff allowed us to meet with friends in the lobby area and socialize while sipping some wine. We had a good stay.

What I didn't like was when I made my reservation, I paid the upcharge to male it refundable because my travel plans aren't always 100% guaranteed, and with that purchase I also paid the $18 for the breakfast buffet. I check-in, get my meal vouchers and go to my room for the night. Next morning I wake up and head to the buffet and the host tells me the buffet is $25. So now I'm standing there confused like, why bother paying $18 for the voucher if I have to pay more anyways? Either way I'm spending $25. Also, I'd like to note that on the hotel website, it shows the price range for breakfast to be $18-22, so now it's just a lie at that point. I did speak to a manager during my check-out about this and they did reward me with 5,000 points which I greatly appreciated, but it was still disappointing to not enjoy the food.
