Excellent Hotel Experience

The Kimpton is a beautiful, family-friendly hotel that has all the bells and whistles. My children were able to have their first "hotel experience" with additional benefits of the basketball court and bowling alley. We enjoyed our time. The staff was amazing, attentive, and kind. We will definitely return.

Perfect stop for a delicious meal!

We spent one night of a long road trip at the Kimpton Cardinal. It was great! We ate an amazing meal at The Katharine. The risotto, beet salad, burger and dessert were phenomenal. Then we took the kids to explore the rec area. They bowled, played ping pong, basketball and shuffleboard. Would definitely come back!

Sharice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location & staff, just cool the rooms!

The staff were amazing, food quality was excellent in hotel restaurant. The only issue was that the room was very hot (76 degrees) and we could not adjust the temp ourselves. Although the hotel staff was responsive when we called the front desk, it took several hours for the room to cool down. I wish the room would have been 68 upon arrival.
