Absolutely loved this place! Super cute and charming but still modern. It was close enough to walk around town for shopping and dining but also felt secluded. The staff is sweet and welcoming. We also loved being able to watch a movie with streaming instead of just basic cable at “normal” hotels. The breakfast was also great! Can’t wait to come back!

Great Stay!

We booked last minute as we were traveling through with our pup. All staff was fantastic. Although we didn’t need a handicapped room, this is what was available. Overall a great room, but the bathroom design was not safe for even a healthy adult. The attempted design for a shower was poorly graded with limited water containment. Combine this with slippery tiles that have zero traction and it’s just an accident waiting to happen. Proceed with caution if mobility is limited in any way.

First glance, the property was cute and quaint and had a warm inviting vibe. Unfortunately my bed had dirt and hair all over it and was uncleaned. Housekeeping leaves at 4pm and the man at the front desk offered to change the top layer of the blanket. I then saw the sheets were also dirty and full of hair. They moved my room to a room in the lobby, it didn’t have a latch on the door. They left a mop in the bathroom and whoever was above me stomped around the whole night. I felt like I was in a hostel not a $300++ a night hotel.No consideration for guest experience.. I’ve tried to speak to someone in management for two weeks and have been told someone resigned and someone would cal me back after looking Into this. Corporate doesn’t answer their phone either. Super disappointing. Do better Kirkwood Collection.

This place has so much potential but seems mismanaged. Rooms are dirty, smelled like Fabulosa cleaner the entire stay. Air vent was dusty and dirty, sink had crusty yellow hard water stains, floors were sticky, rug was filthy, end tables were sticky. The rooms are so close together you can hear EVERYTHING which wasn’t really an issue until the upstairs guests got home at 10:15pm and were loudly walking around their room for an hour while our 5-month old baby tried to sleep. It’s a shame because it’s a fairly central location to the Funk Zone and State St. It was also way overpriced for what we got. Read the reviews before you book this place— I hope they are able to turn it around.

Very nice copenhagen-esque rooms

Very nice copenhagen-esque rooms - danish minimal boat themed... good breakfast though with limited vegan options.. the avocado bagels were excellent.. the room had a large refrigerator and a quick to warm and cozy picture-esque fireplace... the dual bed room we were in had only double size beds, so there are on the small side for sharing.

Stayed here as a last minute booking and let me say it is SUCH a cute and cozy hotel! Everything was picture perfect, clean, and decorated well. The check in was SO easy and convenient. The rooms/beds were so comfortable and the breakfast was homemade! I never slept better at a hotel. It was quiet, conveniently located and oh so well kept. The staff was so polite and kind and treated us like home away from home!

Very conveniently located, close to the beach and downtown as well. The room was cute. However, the towels were dirty and the rug as well. Although the breakfast was included and supposed to be served between 8 and 10, at 8:20, when we arrived one morning, the breakfast was still not ready and everybody was waiting at the tables. We decided to go somewhere else to eat despite that we had to pay for it.

Cute place centrally located!

Cute little place off of a Main Street, good location walking distance from the water. Service was lovely and the included breakfast was nice! The room was also nice and renovated. Maintenance was a bit odd- people were in our room when we checked in and in the morning, someone was cleaning our balcony, which was located next to two big glass doors next to the bed. We thought it was a little expensive for the lack of amenities.
