Kinn Guesthouse Downtown

Unique, boutique hotel. Very nice

I was reticent about trying a self service hotel, but I was delighted by the experience! Checking in was a little confusing at first but the hotel manager quickly assisted us. We really liked the quiet, privacy and amenities. We will stay at the Kinn Guesthouse again, now that we know the process.

Interesting idea. Everything went smoothly from communication to check-in instructions. Easy access to everything. Parking is right across the street.

Very nice hotel. Very confusing place to stay. I am gold status, so I have stayed in many different hotels and know how they work, but this one was different and confusing. I asked to leave our bags with the concierge as we arrived early. Was offered early check in for $45– choose to leave our bags in Managers Office instead. The girl working was very nice but did not inform us how everything worked, aside from needing our code for everything. She offered to put our bags in our room when it was ready & we said yes, then left for entire day/night. Got 1 blue claim ticket for all 5 bags. No bags were tagged-we were told to just set them in the office. When we came back to our room it was about 12:30am & only 3 of our 5 bags were in our room. We knocked on Managers office and another guest came to the office with our 2 missing bags in hand and asked it they were ours. It was a hassle and inconvenience, but glad we got our bags and the other guest was kind to return them, especially after Midnight. Also, kitchen area was beautiful but very confusing. We were given no instructions on how it worked. We did not know how to use the coffee machine nor if the food & drinks in the fridge were open to all guests or if we needed to tag our things so others did not drink them. We left early AM to go get breakfast and did not take advantage of any amenities. Our stay was at on a busy weekend & we paid double was the ave rate. We didn’t use the full offering, due to not informed.

Nice area

Unique set up but loved it! Only real complaint was the sheets were pretty hot and not breathable so sleeping was a little hot otherwise a great stay. Perfect location for Third Ward, very walkable.

This was such a great stay! Really beautifully done. The nespresso and self serve breakfast options were a great touch and the kitchen was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Comfy bed, great shower. My only caveat is that the walls are very thin. Our neighbors were very respectful volume, but we could hear them speaking and getting ready in the morning before we were up. Wasn’t at all a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of!

Such a wonderful boutique hotel located just blocks from Milwaukee Public Market. The hotel offered a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator & designated spaces to store leftovers, which came in handy. Breakfast offerings, gourmet Nespresso coffee, filtered water stations...were all provided complimentary. Definitely coming back and will stay here again!

I have never left a hotel review before, but this place was such a constant source of aggravation I feel compelled. To save employment cost, they have no front desk. So you have to check in by text, including uploading a photo ID, or you’ll be stuck on the street looking at a locked front door until you do. There’s no front desk. No parking. There’s no room service and the restaurant closed before I got here at 7:30 pm. I flipped on the TV to be told it had “no signal”. I tried to turn the TV off, but the 1980s era remote couldn’t manage that task (even though it turned the TV on). So I had to disconnect the power, which was a project. There’s no water in the room and the tap releases tepid, cloudy water I didn’t feel looked safe to drink. There’s no store at which water or anything else can be purchased (at least between 7:30pm when I checked in and 8:00 am when I left). The shower had one temperature — scalding — and was unadjustable. The place has the atmosphere and vibrance of the hotel from The Shining. Except for one nice and helpful staff member who I had to call by phone to get dinner recommendations, I saw no other guests or staff the whole time I was here. No wonder there were no guests.

Loved the Kinn! Great location for a concert at the Fiserv. Just a $15 Lyft ride and short enough to walk home. Incredible amenities. Great coffee bar. Got our laundry done before we checked out. Perfect!
