Beautiful hotel in a great location. Clean, modern, excellent staff. Really enjoyed the charcuterie at the lobby bar, too. My one complaint is the TV in the room was oddly ancient. Could not get any streaming channels. Could not even use Apple Air play to cast shows from my phone or computer.

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!

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.

Great water pressure in the shower! It

Nice hotel and easy check in Laid back hotel with valet parking Our exterior view of the city from 4th for was disappointing. Dogs in this hotel and one barked early in the am in our hall. Valet guys were mostly great but one guy was not so great. Delayed us by disappearing with our keys and trapped me in between two cars but otherwise ok. Hole-y towel Bar service was ok Restaurant was ok Room service had a good burger and bread pudding but forgot our drink and ketchup. Room stayed cool and shower water pressure was nice. Thank you
