Highly recommend
Loved the concept of this hotel. The common areas were so nice and a great idea. Perfect location for walking to the Public Market, restaurants, etc. The restaurant in the lobby was fantastic. Great brunch, drinks and had a crab toast special that was beyond delicious. Room was really nice as well. Would 100% recommend and stay there again.

Nice, unique hotel.
This was a unique way to stay at a hotel for us. Self check in and a code for access was new to us but was easy and worked well. The room was dramatic in its height and very comfortable and quiet. Housekeeping missed a couple of things so that is my only negative. The common areas are very nice.

Too much car noises
I had the King corner and I could not enjoyed my stay due to all the noise and loud cars. Late after midnight motorcycles and loud muffler cars roar back and forth. I couldn’t sleep. Early in the morning around 6am all the big trucks and their squeeky breaks rings into the room.

Self Service Hotel, Give it a Try!
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.

Milwaukee Gem!
This was such a cool find! We were in town for a triathlon and wanted to be in walking distance of the venue at Veterans Park. Kinn Guesthouse fit the bill and had so much more. Our room was super spacious and gorgeous. Great shower and scrumptious smelling bath products. Awesome kitchen on 2nd floor with quick breakfast items and a gourmet coffee machine was a huge plus. Concierge was fantastic with some superb dining recommendations in walking distance. Only small complaint was there was some kind of mattress protector that wasn’t breathable at all and made for some sweaty sleeping, which was a bit uncomfortable. Other than that a great stay!

5 Stars!
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!

Staff are available on site and through call/text but you can also go your whole stay without interacting with them if thats what you prefer. Shared kitchen/dining was nice and clean, easy access to building and room with a keycode so you don't have to worry about losing a room key. Very relaxing stay

A stylish gem in the middle of Milwaukee
I loved the Kinn Guesthouse! It looked modern and stylish, while having the quaint charm of being in an older building (you could tell by the high ceilings). The decor was sleek and updated, and you had most of the amenities you could ask for! If something was amiss, you could simply text the concierge group and they responded very quickly to your need.
One thing to note: there are shared spaces on each floor so be aware of your volume at a certain point. Also, if you intend to bring items that need to be refrigerated, be sure to label your goods as, again, that space is shared.
