I loved this hotel. Great location, spotless, and very kind people. There are also good restaurants around the area. Also, it is pet-friendly.

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.

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.

3.0 / 10.0

We checked in early, which was very nice that they let us do that, however its a very very slow manual process that took nearly 15 minutes. The room was ok, however the sink faucet is loose and about to fall off, the toilet paper holder is broken and about to fall off. The internet based tv barely works because the internet is so slow. The place has lots of potential but many things seem like and after thought.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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 stayed one night with my husband and two teenage boys. Not family friendly at all! Front desk staff seemed annoyed that we were even there. Loved the hotel room but would not stay there again due to not feeling very welcome.

1.0 / 10.0

The description fails to mention that this “boutique hotel” has a bar below and above the rooms. The entire room smelled like stale beer. It was awful! Ever smelled a recycling bin that had beer cans in it for a while, that’s the smell. The top of the comforter also was very dirty and had long hair all over it. The price point is absolutely absurd! The bar/taco restaurant staff had a shocked look on their faces when I told them I had a room, must not be booked often. Their reviews and ratings online have to be fakes!! DO NOT STAY HERE!

This hotel was way over priced for a tiny room that looked like it belonged in the red light district

8.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

2.0 / 10.0

While my stay was not horrendous. After leaving the hotel and receiving this $500 bill for their suspicions of smoking in the room which were an ash on the mantle which came from the smoking apparatus after returning to the room and some remnants of what was loaded prior to living the room constitutes smoking in the room and thus allows them to charge you $500 for their claim of smoking in the room! So as the room is clean the service is good and all amenities are mediocre. The room is very small for the price that you pay, and I suppose the overpricing is for the eclectic ambience of the room. So if you are looking for a place that you are not allowed to have smoking material on your person please feel free to stay at this place. I would not recommend it to anyone! They come off as a high-end hotel with a low end experience!

8.0 / 10.0

The room itself was beautiful and the surrounding area is very cute. Unfortunately it’s very loud until quite late at night due to music from local bars and restaurants. This was the case on Thursday, as well as the weekend. We managed with white noise, but for anyone who needs silence for sleeping, it would be hard to sleep well.

5.0 / 10.0

Hotel Kilbourne is a cool little hotel right on the Pier with access to the Jet Express. The photos online are accurate. All the staff with whom we interacted were very helpful and personable. The room was comfortable, with everything you would need for a weekend stay.
