SouthPaw Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I coming in for the game against Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks. Just wanted to know where is the best place to stay that will be on the inexpensive side. I was looking at some hotels in Erlanger near the airport. They look to be about 10 miles away. Does anyone have any experience or know anyone with an experience staying there. Thanks in advance fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erlanger is on the other side of town from where you're coming from, but not bad if you found some good rates. I will check out some places off of 71 in the Kings Island and Blue Ash/Kenwood area. There's a lot of places to eat and drink around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 This one is off the highway in Blue Ash. Nice neighborhood. Huge mall a couple of miles away. $74. There's a Red Roof across the street for $60, but I googled it and there was a report of bed bugs 4 years ago. Anything you find in this area would be nice and convenient. https://www.choicehotels.com/ohio/cincinnati/quality-inn-hotels/oh228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 And that area is about 15-20 minutes from downtown, depending on traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 And traffic before a Bengals game is heavy, a lot more that Cap'n Hookey sez. Maybe check out some of the downtown hotels. Weston, Raddison, etc. Not sure of the rates but I think (not sure) guests park free saving a few bucks and a leisurely walk to PBS beats stressing out in traffic. Worth a look-see on the websites or a travel app. Look asap. Lots of Pittsturds troglodytes come in for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you head down a little early. Downtown would be nice, but he said he wanted inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthPaw Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thank you. I appreciate the information. I have stayed downtown multiple times before, just didnt want to pay 200+ a night this time around. I will look into the Blue Ash area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said there were some places for beer and food around there right? Yes. There's Kenwood Towne Center that has pretty much anything you're looking for. It's a couple exits down 71. Or there's a couple of places within a mile from there. Firehouse Grill is one. It's decent pub/sports bar food with a pretty lengthy craft beer list. I would recommend that if you just want a short drive or a brisk walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 A little further up is Sammy's Craft Burgers and Beers. Pretty good. Fretboard micro brewery is decent. These are about 2 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Not at all recommended for Mr Paw but for any Stealer fans lurking, there is a bar on Walnut about a half block south of 5th Street/Fountain Square that is a favorite hang out for Pittsburgh fans. Not sure of the name but you can't miss it because it has a rainbow fag flag hanging out front and rainbow neon beer sign in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Kenwood Towne Center mentioned before. Cheesecake Factory, Maggiano's, and Gold Star Chili in the food court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyInDC Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Too late now, but it's usually worth checking booking.com and Airbnb. I got a cheapish room at Garfield place once via hotwire. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have a couch at my apartment that is essentially free...and my 16 year old son and I are going to the game, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
