Disappointed

The Inn was older than the images portrayed. We were told all the rooms were on the ground floor when my husband called to make the reservation but they were not. No handicap access in bathroom. The staff was pleasant and was sorry about the misunderstanding.

This place is so much more than a motel. It’s like a premier hotel and a friendly family bed & breakfast had a baby. Breakfast in the old farmhouse with eggs cooked in the kitchen right by the white-tablecloth dining room feels very cozy. Staff are so pleasant and it’s clearly a family affair. At the same time the rooms are pristine with comfortable plush bedding, Keurig, and mini-fridge. I plan to go again soon.

Room was very clean. Breakfast was fantastic. I was a little nervous when I pulled in and saw that rooms opened to the outside, not to an internal hallway, but it was perfectly fine. Good area. Not in the middle of nowhere, but far enough away from most other things to be quiet and safe. My friend and I (both women) stayed here and really enjoyed ourselves.

This property is an old facility but is maintained very well. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. It is a quaint motel. Was a step back in time that I can appreciate. Room still had actual keys to the doors. The front desk was still operating with hand written details rather than technology. We would stay again.

Not like it used to be

We have stayed there before a few years ago and feel it was a little more rundown,The room was fine and clean. The office people were friendly, but there were some older ladies hanging out with a dog. Looked as if they hung out there a lot because there was dog food, and things all over the lounge area. The dog was also there at checkout. The smell was very strong. Breakfast was canceled due to the lightning, strike on a transformer, which was disappointing since we loved the breakfast and that’s why we booked there again. Not their fault at all, but there were no apologies or suggestions. The people in the room next-door we’re looking to see if they could just get a piece of fruit or something and were not accommodated

Older but clean…the staff was excellent! Very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast made it even better. This is not your standard free hotel breakfast. Eggs, Sausage, biscuits and gravy, etc. is was more like a Bed and Breakfast! Close to Kings Island. This is where we will stay every time we come to Kings Island!

Family trip to Kings Island

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kirkwood Inn. They take good care of you. It was easy access to Kings Island and the Mason Whippy Dip (fantastic Dole whip flavors for our dairy free daughter).

This place was a jewel. We came down for a quick Labor Day weekend trip. The staff and owner are amazing. It was a quaint, traditional motel with exceptionally clean rooms. Tour our surprise in the morning breakfast was held in a historical house towards the back of the property with a quaint kitchen and dining room. We loved it here.
