I am a former Cincinnatian who goes to Cincinnati often. I always stay in the Mariemont Inn. When I was growing up it was the place brides and grooms would recommend for their wedding parties, people without guest rooms would recommend to their out of town family members, etc. It hasn't changed much, except perhaps to get even nicer. I've lived in Europe and this hotel is a lot like hotels one finds in provincial European towns. The restaurant is excellent, for price, quality and atmosphere, and this is one of the few hotel restaurants I know of in the U.S. where the locals actually outnumber the hotel guests. It's even popular for breakfast meetings. Stay there.
