Kinship Landing

Kimberly was AMAZING, and her recommendations and the service at the bar and front desk made this feel like one of the best places I’ve stayed. It’s a charming, cozy hotel, and I was glad I picked it for a solo stay in a junior queen room with mountain views. I’ve met some really cool people here too. I’d happily recommend the place, and if I come back, I’ll definitely stay again, no question.

The location makes it easy to walk to downtown shops and restaurants, and the beds are very comfortable. Rooms are quiet, though on the small side, probably in keeping with the vibe they’re going for. Amenities are pretty minimal, so I wouldn’t recommend it for professionals. There aren’t full-size ironing boards and irons in the rooms, though irons with mini boards are available. There’s a shared kitchen for guests, but no microwave in the rooms. The parking lot is managed separately from the hotel, so there’s no way to get the fee waived.

The room we ended up in was really distinctive and nice, and the front desk agent was kind when the check-in system sent us to a room that was already occupied. The woman who brought a replacement travel crib was lovely too, and waited nearby in case it still didn’t work. Unfortunately, the crib mattress didn’t fit. We chose this place because the website made a big deal of being family friendly, and the rooms looked unusual for a pretty reasonable price. The rest of the staff came across as rude and dismissive, like they didn’t want to deal with guests. At Houma cafe, the food was okay but felt overpriced for the modern serving setup, the mocktail wasn’t impressive, and the service was honestly terrible.

The fire pit area was a big hit with everyone, especially with the s'mores kits we added for an extra charge. There was enough room for our small band, and the atmosphere, food, and staff all helped make our holiday party last night a wonderful experience. The meat was tender and flavorful, the vegetables were seasoned just right, and the staff made sure we had what we needed. We’ll definitely book our next gathering here. They’re friendly and very accommodating.
