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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
