Hotel Kilbourne

Place is great. Room was large, very clean and well put together. Beds super comfortable. Bar/restaurant/shop on the bottom floor and a bar on the roof 9overlooking the harbor. Movie in the park across the street while we were there. Stayed with our kids, We were right above the bar but could barely tell. Sandusky down town is a bit dirty, looks like they are trying to revive the place, tons of little shops and what not hidden all over. Not a bad place to spend two nights

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights while visiting cedar point. Loved having bars/restaurants within walking distance. Parking was easy, and the Room was clean and comfortable. I don’t think this would be the best option if staying with kids, but for adults, it was great. Loved the unique character of this hotel. If I am back in the area, I would stay here again.

What a gem. Great little boutique hotel. Rooftop bar and restaurant downstairs were excellent and inviting. Waling distance from bars, restaurants, and shops. Staff was super courteous and friendly. Room was clean and well equipped with amenities. One thing that stood out was how well the room was insulated from the surrounding noise. It was silent in our room even though there was construction going on next door and the rooftop bar across the hall. Great place. Will come again.

Rooms would get a better rating because they are rather unique but there are two neon signs above the headboard with speakerwire like wires powering them. The cords are dangling from the signs and somehow ours got pulled lose from the signs overnight, no foul play goin on, and I was charged $160. I sent an email to the email listed on the website after I called and got no answer (likely because their front desk often not staffed when they have to step away to tend to the other 3-4 businesses operating in the same building). Its been 11 days and no response. Called on the 11th day and was told the email goes to the owners and I would need to speak with them about it. I tried. Sent followup today. I question the charge and placement of the cords with no securement/conduit to protect them from getting accidentally pulled. Betsys hands seem to be tied when it comes to disputes. Location is great. Right in the middle of downtown adjacent to other bars and restraunts. Location likely keeps even those who dont want to spend $300/night coming back. Service is spotty with the lightly staffed front desk and all the things the hotel has going on. Seems lean for a full service establishment. $50 for late check out with no call/notice is a bit much. Hilton/marriot will typically call and ask or atleast have housekeeping knock on the door. I assumed/recalled noon checkout but was mistaken. I stay at boutiques across the country and have never been charged a late checkout without notice. Otherwise, the place is reasonable. I understand some of the negative reviews (agree with some as well) but see the positives too. Seems its run from afar and err on the side of money. Cant say I wont be back but will definitely search out alternatives next time.

The room was very small. There were not enough amenities. Our room was in third floor and the whole floor smelled bad ( old and moldy?). They have airplane pricing for their snacks! $6 for a little bag of salty snacks! The place was really noisy even after 1 Am and you could hear people from upstairs walking and talking. The room was all painted in black and unpleasantly dark with a view of construction and parking and did not feel clean at all, specifically the carpet. We left at 9 am and there was nobody at front desk in case you need something. Was not worth $200 a night for sure.
