The high level of electronic access required was kind of overwhelming for our group of 8. Would have helped if we all had been placed on the same floor since I made all 4 room reservations at the same time.
Also valet parking is a challenge w/minimal staffing. Better off to self park right across the street for less $.

Would not recommend until they work out all the issues with this new property. Water issues, thermostat issues, access to room issues, shared space poorly stocked vs what was communicated.
This hotel does not have on site staff.

It's a mostly self-service property, though friendly and helpful staff were there when we checked in. The rooms are beautiful, as was the shower and bathroom. A very comfortable place to stay!

The property was very clean, quiet, safe & unique! I was incredibly impressed with the amenities, everything else listed above and how safe I felt staying here! Really great location, too. ONLY thing i would change is having the bar/restaurant open more often - didn't open until 5pm on a Saturday! Regardless, great property & stay.

We enjoyed one night at this lovely property in downtown Milwaukee. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The open gathering space on each floor is a great concept. It offers a full chefs kitchen and comfortable seating and space to hang out with friends. Charles the owner of Kinn was very kind and accommodating.

The hotel is a great location on staff are not available all the time, but it does feel more like a home than a hotel, especially with a giant common room. The great Accommodations Of the laundry The breakfast cereal and yogurt with granola and the assortment of coffee and teas are available all night long was really well placed plus the rooms are gorgeous and high ceilings
