The restaurant and bar above and below the hotel respectively were very nice and enjoyable to stop at. I also liked the decorations and how large and comfortable the bed was. It's a great area to walk around too with lots of shops and restaurants to try.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff is super helpful, the rooms are unique and the area is very nice. The “Oh Taco” restaurant on the premises is a must, especially the guacamole with feta and honey! Don’t miss out on that! Would absolutely recommend staying here.
Viktoria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was very nice, the bed was comfortable and clean. Only thing I complained about was that when we got back from our day housekeeping left our door opened, it was not latched thankfully nothing was missing in our room.

We have stayed here multiple times and are always satisfied.

Cassandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is right across the street from the Jackson Street Pier. If you're planning a trip on Lake Erie from this docking area, it doesn't get any closer than Hotel Kilbourne. The room is really small and tidy. There is a bar on the main floor which is convenient. The folks working at this property couldn't have been any more inviting. Great experience for my wife & I.
Jason, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel was way over priced for a tiny room that looked like it belonged in the red light district
Lisa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely adorable hotel. So clean, staff friendly! Will definitely stay here again!
Beth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like the area where the hotel was located, right by the water. Had many dining and entertainment options in the area. The hotel was clean, the room was a good size with nice amenities. The staff could have been more prompt to acknowledge and greeted us when we were trying to check in, but overall were a pleasant experience.
Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Hotel was nice, but maybe showing a few signs of age. Upstairs bar was nice, downstairs restaurant ok. Limited menu, would look elsewhere for dinner out. Staff was polite and accommodating. I thought it a bit expensive for the what the property offered.

Quaint place and the staff/owner was top notch! We will be back!

Aaron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay/location, minus a few issues....

A few issues, but not too bad. One- great having smart tv's, but you're at the mercy of the 'free' content or need to sign in to your own accounts. There was no app for our service, so couldn't watch basic broadcast, which would have been nice for Football games! Seems like a miss not to at least have basic cable in the rooms. 2nd issue was their lofty price for having a small dog- $100 felt excessive given there would be no added cleaning needs.
Craig, 1-night trip
