The room and property was immaculate, the decor was top notch and the staff was excellent. The Kindler felt like a luxury hotel without a luxurious price tag and is in a great location. We will be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was super accomodating, and the room was spottless and so cute! The snack bar and mini fridge were fully stocked, and the heated bathroom floors were a game changer for it being almost Decemeber. 10/10 !!
Hotel was fancy but also very clean and comfortable. Parking was pricey but it is downtown so not surprising. Rooms were quiet and had the right amount of space and amenities. Staff was always friendly.
Nice and quiet hotel, like having the ability to have a cocktail on the property instead of walking to a different location. Front desk staff very friendly.
Beautiful boutique hotel. Very personable staff. My 4th time staying at this hotel & I always enjoy it.
