The Best Western Plus Hannaford Inn & Suites is
a mid-range property with budget-friendly rates. Located off I-71, the hotel, with a shopping mall across the street, is about a 20-minute drive to downtown. The 79 rooms are spacious and designed for extended stays, with full-size or mini-fridges, stovetops, dishes, and cookware; some suites have separate living areas. The color scheme -- a mix of browns, mauves, deep reds, and dark woods, might be too dark and somber for some, and bathrooms are small. Facilities include an outdoor pool, and a fitness and business center -- both open 24 hours. Breakfast, including made-to-order omelets and waffles, is free. Travelers might want to also check rates at the SpringHill Suites Cincinnati Midtown, also off I-71 but only a five-minute drive to downtown.

Scene
On the interstate between downtown and Kings Island amusement park
Located off the interstate between Kings Island amusement park and
downtown Cincinnati, the Best Western Plus Hannaford Inn and Suites attracts business travelers on extended stays and travelers in town for campus events at the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University. The tasteful lobby, with granite floors, a chandelier over a glass table, recessed lighting, and a sitting area near the reception desk, makes a good first impression. There's also a living room
area with mauve sofas and armchairs, and intricately patterned carpeting, all accented by potted tropical plants and gold drapes
framing large windows. The mauve-and-black carpeting extends into the adjacent breakfast
area, where square and round tables seat two, four, or six guests for breakfast.
Location
Off I-71, about a 20-minute drive to downtown
The hotel is located off I-71, which runs through the heart of the city, in a busy shopping and commercial area
northeast of downtown. The Kenwood Towne Center mall is a two-minute walk from the hotel, and more shopping and dining choices are within a few minutes' drive.
Kenwood Theatre is a six-minute drive, and Jewish Hospital is a one-minute drive from the hotel.
Nearby Blue Ash (an eight-minute drive) is home to 2,300 businesses, as well as
the University of Cincinnati’s expansive Blue Ash campus. The University’s main
campus is about a 15-minute drive away in Clifton, and Xavier University is a 12-minute
drive. The Kings Island amusement park is about a 20-minute drive. Downtown’s
attractions such as the Duke Energy Convention Center, Horseshoe Casino, and
Great American Ball Park are about 20 minutes away by car. The Cincinnati/Northern
Kentucky International Airport is about a 30- to 35-minute drive from the hotel. There's a bus stop within a six-minute walk of the hotel, but public transportation is not an efficient way to get around in this area.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with full kitchens or kitchenettes but small bathrooms
The 79 rooms at the Best Western Plus Hannaford Inn & Suites don't vary much in decor -- all
are dark with crimson-patterned carpeting and dark-wood furniture. Accent walls behind the beds are either dark brown or red, while other walls are beige. Drapes are beige with leaf patterns, and the white bedding is accented by rust-color
throws and bolster pillows. Double Rooms include kitchenettes with granite countertops, sinks, microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, dishes, and cookware. Larger
King and Executive King Suites have separate living rooms, additional 37-inch flat-screen TVs, and full kitchens with a granite bar, full-size refrigerators, and stovetops. All rooms include sleeper sofas, desks with media
plug-ins, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms, with brown-tile floors, are small and basic, with granite vanities, shower/tub combos framed by beige tiles, and individual toiletries. Queen Suites have wall-mounted toiletry dispensers.
