Nice boutique hotel.
Beds were cozy. Was hoping for more shops in downtown to par-ooze. . The remote to the fireplace and hair dryer did not work. Overpriced for the amenities and area. Has great potential.

Excellent Birthday Stay
Had a really great experience!!! Gerri at the front desk was most helpful & super friendly!! Gave excellent suggestions on activities and food choices as well. The hotel restaurant Oh Taco is also very good!! Quick service, great selection of drinks, and even tasty food. We had lunch, dinner, and brunch here and all the food was top notch! The location is perfect as well, with good variety to walk to, plus the ferry picks up and drops off at the pier directly behind the hotel. I had a really great time for my first time in Sandusky and can't wait to rebook and visit again!

Beautiful boutique lake view hotel
Absolutely amazing experience from check in to check out. Came for a couples trip and were blown away by how beautiful and private the property is, how luxurious snd beautiful the rooms are. The staff was amazing. So close to the pier. We also had a lake view. We will be back and we will be recommending to others.

Front Desk was wonderful! Got a little noisy around midnight from the bar upstairs but it was just one guy and he quieted down after a bit. Amazing shower and great view. Beds were like a giant pillow and hugged me to sleep. Great experience!

The Hotel Kilbourne has a great location. It is modern and clean. However, We stayed for two nights, our room was not cleaned and we were not given fresh towels. We were paying over $250 per night, and we chose a hotel instead of an Air B&B, because there is a standard of service and accommodation that you can expect from a hotel. We did not get this. We were not told to expect that our room would not be cleaned (sometimes during Covid this was the case) and we did not have the “do not disturb” sign on the door. When I went down to the lobby the receptionist was pleasant but said that they don’t always clean because they don’t want to disturb the guests. She had to go get me towels, got the wrong type/number of towels, went back to correct her mistake, came back a second time with the correct towels, and then I carried the towels up the elevator to our room. This is unprofessional and it was inconvenient. We liked the hotel but expected better for the price.

A beautiful hotel!
This hotel was amazing. Our room was large with a well stocked mini snack bar with pop, water, some alcoholic beverage options and snacks. The room had a view of the pier that’s right across the street- a great place to go relax by the water. There is a Mexican restaurant on the main level that had great food, and there is also a rooftop-bar, but that was closed when we were there. The hotel is beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. The only downfall is the noise level when the restaurant is open. You can hear the music but they provide earplugs by the bed, so that was a nice touch. That was not a deal breaker for us and if we are ever back in the area we will be staying here again! Beautiful property.
