The rooms were awesome and clean and decorated awesomely. There was yelling in the street which might be a regular occurrence because ear plugs were provided on the night stands.

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.
