Terrible! No way to connect streaming service in your room, you have to go to the common area. No help from front desk, bc there was no front desk. It’s 15 degrees outside and they cap the heat at 76 degrees. Very cold in the room. No pool, the gym is trash, and no complementary breakfast. Paying $329 for a room with no streaming connection, no room service and no breakfast, total rip off. I will never come here again, and will encourage others to do their research before coming here. I’ll also leave a google review as well. This hotel is trash

The check in process is confusing and unclear. There was no staff to help in the early evening on a Friday. I was charged for something with no explanation of what for.
Stressful

I found the owner and other staff at the Kinn to be very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend a stay at the Kinn Guesthouse.

Code didn’t work when we got here, no cold water in the bathroom sink and maintenance could seem to figure it out. To get drinking water had to go to the second floor, they could have at least offered some bottles of water. For the cost, you’d think we could coffee in our room rather than having to get dressed and go up to the second floor to make coffee. The bathroom door had a lock hanging out but no hole in the frame to actually lock and unable to close completely.

This property is nice and conveniently located in downtown. Room was very large and clean. One small complaint, the fitted sheet seemed too small for the mattress and constantly pulled off the corners. Fair warning, we had a ground level room right next to a busy street and the vehicle noise was very loud at times - particularly on weekend nights when we had cars blaring music outside our window frequently until 3 AM. This is not the hotel's fault, just a result of the location. The most important factor to consider is the level of attention you may require from staff as this property operates on a unique "limited staff" concept. This was ok for us as we are generally pretty self-sufficient, but it was problematic because we elected to use the valet service which required us to text or call a number when we needed our car or brought it back to be parked. After our texts went unanswered a few times we tried calling, and calls would not go through. My husband pointed this out to an employee but the problem persisted. This was a bit frustrating when we needed our car and were waiting around the lobby with no staff to be found. We never encountered more than one employee on the property at a time, and even that was somewhat spotty. Again, just consider whether this will meet your needs before booking, especially if you are accustomed to 24/7 front desk assistance, etc. Overall, the price is arguably a bit steep to not have staff readily available.

We enjoyed our stay here. They are very hands off and give you an access code to all the doors you need so you don't actually speak with a human to check in. The room itself was nice, the bed was surprisingly comfortable for a hotel. The artwork on the walls was a bit odd, but I think this might be part of the artsiness of this hotel. The common areas on each floor were super nice and well thought out. We appreciated that. The shower was European style with the open door concept which we personally don't like but the biggest issue was the water temperature from the sink and shower were very inconsistent.

Awesome spot! Check in was easy and parking was right next door. Very clean and beautiful place!
4.0 / 5.0
This hotel was nice. The rooms are clean and comfortable. High ceilings, nice shower. There is a common area with a kitchen, lounge area, and office room just outside the bedrooms.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Valet parking was helpful but a bit expensive.
Great walking distance for most downtown attractions.
Or room had some strange water issues: toilet wouldn't refill, cold water didn't always come on in the shower or faucet.
The windows do not buffer much street noise... single pane perhaps? But it sounded like the window was open (which it wasn't).
Other minor things: Kleenex box in the room was empty. No travel cups for the coffee (paper cups).

What a great place!!! Loved the room and concept. General areas on the floor with rooms around it.
1.5 / 5.0
Their "touchless" system is weirdly impersonal. A nice young woman met us at the door and showed us to our room. After that, it was like being in a vacant building. If you want help, you just have to call/text. My husband was particularly annoyed by the lack of hospitality.
I liked the room. It was clean and very modern. He thought it was a bit sterile.
We both agreed that the valet parking system was a disaster. We decided to spend the $35 because they said that we would have unlimited in and out privileges and it was safer than parking in the $5 lot across the street. This turned out not to be true.
There was no valet station. You had to text to get someone. If there was no response, you're supposed to call a second number. Both times we tried, there was no response. The car was sitting next to the hotel right where we had left it so we just drove it to dinner. At 8:30 the next morning we got a text saying the car was ready for pickup. We responded that we had not requested the car to be ready, that we would be leaving at 9:30, and to please have the car ready then. There was no valet at 9:30. When she finally showed up, she told us we could pick up the car at the side of the building where we had left it. Since it was raining heavily, we would have preferred to have the car delivered to the front door. But we realized that might not happen for a very long time. So we walked out in the rain and went home.

We have stayed at the Kinn multiple times, every time we love the convenience of easy self check in and the great communication with the team via text, valet parking was also a great added service.

Combined living area. Super cool, and really a nice difference for a normal hotel.
Amazing room, and if you’re not a fan of the combined area I only shared the elevator with one person to the floor for the whole stay.
Bar at the hotel has odd hours, but was great.

Beautiful, clean rooms, and gorgeous, very spacious kitchen, living room and dining room. The common areas are shared amongst guests from about eight other rooms, but it still feels very private. We will definitely be staying here again.

Convenient location downtown. Very spacious rooms and common areas. Great service. Valet parking was reasonably priced. Fitness room was small and tucked away in the corner of the basement. Lack free weights, but had dumbbells and a couple of treadmills.

1.5 / 5.0
While it’s nice to have a safe check in via a code for all entries including front door, elevator, and room. The lack of in-person staff was strange and not to our liking.We found it extremely difficult to get prompt valet service either dropping off or picking up our car! It took multiple tries to get through to a live person with the numbers they had posted around the entry and lobby. Getting both cut off and getting an answering machine! We waited a long time to get our car picked up to be taken to their off site parking garage.They wanted us to leave our keys in a box for the eventual car pick up. Someone from the valet did finally come to our room to get the keys to put our car in the proper garage. Which we appreciated. Getting the car the next morning took longer than expected as well.
Our room was nice and both the room and bath were very clean. The bed and pillows were okay though not as luxurious as we had expected.
The whole experience is very hands off and remote. Not for us as a couple.

Love this concept and the hotel. Beds were comfortable and rooms spacious with huge communal areas that were very well done. My wife wasn't feeling well and the owner/manager offered to stop by Walgreens to help out. You will enjoy the experience.

Gorgeous - the hotel architecture and interior design are stunning. The rooms are large and have floor-to-ceiling windows. The owner introduced himself and was extremely accommodating. I will be staying here again!

Staying at the Kinn downtown was ab absolute pleasure in every way. Charles was an exceptional host from the moment we arrived. He was incredibly accommodating with a request for an early check-in, greeted us upon arrival, personally handled our valet, and even provided us with a bottle of champagne in our room to celebrate our anniversary.
The property is an exceptional value compared to the other comparable options in the general vicinity. If you want to be centrally located down by the Historic 3rd Ward / East Town, this is the spot. Safe walking distance to all the breweries, bars, and restaurants you’d ever need. The property was clean, well staffed, and secure. The room was as described, and very comfortable. The common area was in great shape and very well appointed.

Amazing building and atmosphere. Beautiful room and common area with fantastic amenities. The check in process is extremely easy and unique. We also met the owner of the hotel, who was very kind and gave us recommendations for the city. Would love to stay again.
1.5 / 5.0
We were extremely disappointed we were given a different room than we chose at booking for our stay. We chose this hotel specifically because we wanted one of the green rooms. (It was an anniversary trip) We ended up with a pink room on the alley. :(
There is no vending in the hotel. So no food available in the evening after our event. We will book elsewhere on the next trip to Milwaukee.
5.0 / 5.0
It's a great location. We had the entire floor to ourselves (travelled mid week). The rooms are spacious and the extra living space with gourmet kitchen is a major bonus. We loved having it to ourselves but wished we could have hung out with other guests over beers as I think was intended in the concept. The building has been thoughtfully renovated and once the bar downstairs is finished it will be great. This is a hidden gem.
2.5 / 5.0
Check in was seamless. Got a text with door codes. Worked perfect. Valet was convenient. Rooms were spacious and clean. Kitchen/shared space was unexpectedly so convenient and we used constantly. Only complaint....the pillows. Barely slept and woke up with terrible neck pain.
4.0 / 5.0
The interior was stylish and wonderful. However, the soundproofing was poor, so I woke up at night to the sound of cars and motorcycles, and it was disappointing that breakfast was not provided.
