Great place, first impression I wasn’t sure if I was in the right place since it was booked for me. Beautiful building, built in the 1800s. Rooms are amazing. Since it is in downtown Milwaukee, it does get a little loud but it’s to be expected. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Great location to the Third District. Felt very safe. Had a little issue with our code working the elevator, but it was corrected. Parking was a little confusing at first, but was in a great location and felt very secured. We had a great time and will be back; wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The only other thing it would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room, since you are so close to the public market.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The property was very clean, and the room was spacious and comfortable. One of the best features was the shared kitchen, which was fully equipped with everything you need if you want to cook your own meals. It’s a unique hotel concept that made the stay feel more like home.

The location is excellent—it’s within walking distance of downtown, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and attractions nearby, making it easy to explore the area.

The hotel doesn’t have a front desk or receptionist, but you can contact the staff by phone or text if you need assistance. The self-check-in process was simple and convenient. I completed everything online by submitting my ID, and they sent me passcodes to access the front entrance, elevator, and my room.

The only downside was that it was sometimes difficult to reach someone by phone, as calls weren’t answered right away. However, they were very responsive through text messages, so I recommend messaging them if you need help.

Overall, I had a great experience. The clean, spacious accommodations, unique setup, and fantastic location made it a place I would gladly stay at again.

I've travelled extensively over my 45 yr career & this is one of my top three favorite accommodations. Kinn Broadway has everything you want in a hotel and it's first class. Location, easy parking, secure, fabulous on site restaurant, well furnished and designed guest rooms, and I was pleasantly surprised by an extraordinary common area on every floor. There is a well-appointed kitchen, living area and conference room that is shared by guests. The thoughtfulness, care, and quality that was deployed in the design and build of this property is outstanding. The staff and management are consummate professionals and wonderful hosts. The Ritz and Four Seasons has a new & formidable competitor!

The hotel was great and we were very happy with the accommodations, but then we had an unexplained surcharge on our bill (we had two rooms and this charge was only on one of them). When we reached out to ask about the charge, the hotel was completely unresponsive. We did not eat/drink any items in the room, so don’t know what this charge is. Will not stay here again based on extra charges that are not explained. Disappointing because it is a nice hotel in a great location.

Difficult stay for someone who actually does not mind interacting with people. During my 4 nights in the hotel, I only saw a staff member the morning I checked out. You enter by code - there is no one to help with luggage - there was no one anywhere that I saw in the hotel - felt like the twilight zone. No local stations on the TV - you must use your own apps. This hotel is probably great for a certain generation - not mine. :(

It was a nice hotel. But the pricing is EXCEPTIONALLY misleading. The hotel room was $210, which I expected. But there was an additional $96 (almost 50%!) in taxes and fees. For comparison I also stayed at the Brewhouse Inn on the same trip. It was $135 for the room and $25 in taxes. More in line with what you would expect. Shame on Expedia and Kinn for not being more transparent in their pricing and additional shame on Kinn for such an egregious pricing practice to begin with.

Kinn Guesthouse was the most unique experience! Rather than the typical check-in, you are given an access code and instructions for entering the property and room. Once you get off the elevator on your floor, there’s a fully equipped kitchen, living room, and dining common areas on every floor. There are “house rules” listed which are mostly about mutual respect and cleanliness in the common areas.

The entire floor and my room were pristine and GORGEOUS! The hotel was very aesthetically pleasing and homey. You can text/call any time and they immediately respond. Towards the end of my stay I texted to see if they could hold my bags after checkout (my flight was later); they responded instantly and were able to hold my bags “for as long as I needed”. Amazing service.

I will definitely be on the lookout for other opportunities to stay with Kinn Guesthouse, and highly recommend staying here!

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!

Very nice hotel, very confusing hotel.

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.

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.

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.

There were no instructions on how to use the keypads. It took us 5 minutes to figure out that certain keys were necessary to make the code numbers work. The microwave was completely hidden and once found, difficult to operate. Coffee maker in common area was hit or miss; one brewed cup came out as water. Shower temperature was either scalding or cool. The description of the inn did not clearly specify that there was not a private parking lot I only found this out after calling to inquiry about availability for parking our large truck. The “customer service” is totally lacking. (The real person in the Inn was helpful but only bc we reached out w questions.) If I knew of all of these inconveniences, I would have never booked the stay. The experience absolutely did NOT match the inn’s attractive marketing.
