A lovely surprise for a last minute trip. The grounds are beautiful and the house and breakfast were a wonderful addition to our stay. Will be back!

This inn superceded my expectations! It reminds me of what a perfect sleepover at Grandma's house should be. Sure, the decor is from another time period, but it's also not dated. VERY CLEAN, even in the cute farmhouse where breakfast is served! The area felt inviting, parking lot was lit I felt very safe (arriving shortly before midnight) the sweet lady who runs the place, has done an incredible job with the place. I live about an hour and half away in Kentucky, but it left such an impression on us we plan to stay a weekend sometime, just because! Also, if you have time, walk the little pathway next to the gazebo outside of the farmhouse. It was so delightful!

I really had a great time. The lady at the front desk (I think the owner) was so sweet and helpful. I didn't want to leave and would definitely be back. The pool was clean and the breakfast was yummy.

Located in a nice, quiet area. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Rooms very clean and comfortable. A/C unit worked great during our extremely hot summer stay. The breakfast was wonderful - many options and everything was fresh and delicious. Very charming place to stay. We look forward to staying here again!

This was a unique quaint hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms were very clean and the breakfast buffet was excellent as well as the atmosphere of the century old house that it was served in. There is an awesome park right across the street with paved wooded trails for biking, walking or running.

We pulled up and realized it was a motel, we didn't have much hope that it was going to be a very nice stay. Boy were we wrong! Yes it's a motel but I've never been in such a meticulously clean place, you register on a card just like an old school model from years ago. The service was outstanding, the ladies running it were so so sweet and accommodating and made sure I knew that they're available all night if we needed anything at all. They also let us know where we could find drinks and snacks. The pool was clean and fun, the entire atmosphere was charming, quiet and relaxing. Breakfast (they had everything!!) was in a building just steps behind the motel, you reached it by a flower lined walk. They also had a peaceful seating area and a fire pit for visiting with friends. We couldn't have asked for anything more and will definitely be staying here every time we go to Kings Island.

Kirkwood Inn is off the beaten path, and affordable. Hosted in a quaint separate building surrounded by gardens, a delicious breakfast is served. The staff is kind and helpful.

Great location within 10 minutes of Kings Island and right by an alternate route to the park to avoid some of the traffic. Amazing breakfast with lots of options in a separate old house with tons of charm just across the parking lot. Lovely gardens and patio seating on the property. A great breakup from the typical hotel chain. Warm comforter on the bed. Quiet and clean room. The outdoor pool was not heated but the kids were happy it went to 10 foot depth. We enjoyed chatting with the owner at the front desk and petting her sweet dog. It was a lovely stay!

The hotel is very clean. The staff is very attentive, breakfast was varied and good. The hotel location was good for visiting Kingdom Island and halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton, good to visit sites at both cities.

Great breakfast.

What a cute and whimsical place! 10/10 would recommend. The only negative thing for me, is the bed - ours was a bit hard - I still slept okay, but the beds are not cushy. You get breakfast which is served in a house on grounds, you can actually see the woman in the kitchen cooking away while you get to eat. Great breakfast selection, plenty of choices and filling food! This is one of the last hotel to probably still use ACTUAL hotel KEYS versus card operated doors! There is a super cute perrenial garden you can walk into, it’s like a little secret garden back there with flowers and cute statues all in the woods. There are 3 outdoor fountains and plenty of outdoor seating if you want to hang out outside. And there’s an outdoor pool! Charming place, I would definitely stay there again! It has charm and character.

This place needs an update badly. My room smelled like mildew. The besd was lumpy and uncomfortable, the pillows were ancient and should have been changed tens of years ago. The breakfast was good, but the room wasn't worth thr price charged, especially for a 2 star property.

This is an older family run hotel that feels like your grandmother is working the front desk. Things are old school. Keys no cards. Breakfast is amazing. The grounds have walking paths. Again this is an older hotel but everything is clean. We stop by at least once a year for something different than the big chains.

It was so relaxing. The property is not what you expect but what a wonderful surprise. Rooms are very clean. Breakfast felt like in my own home but did not cook it. The employees are very friendly This is a place you can enjoy the outside, we walked the pathway with different types of flowers and little sculptures. It was the perfect place for us. We enjoyed the pool too.

The property needs some maintenance and updating. Food was plentiful but bread products seemed stale… biscuits, breads, coffee cake etc. owner was very kind and addressed our concerns about the room. Kirkwood has been one of our favorites for years.
