Property is shabby chic. However, it is dark and the only food option on the property restaurant was Mexican. My personal opinion a little overpriced for what it actually is...

This is more of a boutique style hotel. If you are looking for something different this could be it. Other reviewers complained about noise, we did not have that problem. We were on the 3rd floor facing the pier for a Wednesday/Thursday stay. The rooftop bar was directly above us. Staff was great and the food was very good. With that said, our room was definitely a 2-person room and the windows did not open. We would stay there again.

Artsy hotel but just too dark
Hotel Kilbourne is a unique, boutique hotel with just 9 rooms right on the waterfront in Sandusky. It has an eclectic, artsy decor and a cute little bar and restaurant on-site. We didn’t get to try the rooftop bar (it was closed the day we were there) but the other bar/restaurant had a focus on Mexican food and an extensive tequila menu. Our room was billed as a “suite” and was very tiny. With a king-size bed and sofa (and mini fridge) squeezed in it, there was no room for a dresser OR closet. No problem if you were there for a quick trip, but if you were trying to hang up clothes for a longer stay or special occasion, it’s not possible. (The room did have four hangars on a hook.)I know the “industrial vibe” in the current style in hotels, but the super dark walls, floors, curtains, furniture and fixtures were too bleak.

Dissapointed
After seeing pictures we were very excited about spending our 1 evening on rooftop balcony! The woman tending bar was rude, unaccomodating, unfriendly & bar was cobwebs, gnats & bees. She used basil instead of mint in my mojito. My husbands drink was undrinkable. We asked for fire features & she refused. Said she was closing early when a large party had just shown up. Paid more attention to her 2 friends at bar than customers.

We loved the quaint hotel. The room was a decent size with swanky decor. The view of Lake Erie was beautiful. We did not eat at the taco restaurant there but it was a popular place. We also did not take advantage of the bar on top of the building. The person checking us in was so wonderful and shared places we could eat and talked about the art display in the park. There was music playing past 2 am which required using the earplugs they provided at the bedside table. The bathroom was spacious and modern. The bed was comfy. The checkout process involved dropping the actual key in a box. Super simple. We would stay here again.
