Very cute boutique hotel in a great location! Rooms were nice and very clean. Walking distance to all the action and we felt perfectly safe walking around that area with 2 small kids. All the staff we encountered were friendly and the gentleman working their happy hour went above and beyond. Top notch customer service!

While the hotel room and bathroom were superb, the lack of thought for the planet is sadly what brings this hotel down. The sheer amount of single use plastic is shameful. At breakfast, plastic plates, cutlery and cups and used before piled high in the bins. Stocking actual plates and cutlery would make such a difference. Please guys - help improve the planet! You have a great hotel but this let it down.

We stayed for 2 nights (March 10th to Sunday March 12) for the Chicago River dying & St. Patricks celebration. The location was a 6min walk to the prime viewing spots to watch the river being died green early in the morning. Hotel included free breakfast (continental) it was very minimal but its free so can't complain too much. An added bonus was the Happy Hour 5pm-7pm. The bartender was extremely nice and kept up with the busy crowd. Also close by was the italian restaurant we booked for Dinner on Saturday night called 'Il Porcellino which I highly recommend (6min walk around the corner from the hotel). The quality was great for the price and I booked it through a 3rd party Hotels.com and had no issues at check in or check out. Room was spacious 2 double beds, shower/tub combo, blow dryer and makeup mirror in the bathroom, one bathrob, inroom safe and a lounger couch under the window which was great for people watching while we got ready and pregamed in the room. To be honest some of the previous reviews had me worried. They mentioned past customers who had problems, their reservations could not be found for 3rd party bookings, or others that stated extra charges on bill or holds on credit cards, we experienced none of these issues. Upon check in we actually were able to check in early at 12:30pm. This hotel has free luggage storage if you arrive, and your room is not ready before 3pm Check in. I would stay here again in the future if travelling again in March. So much is close by.

The hotel has a great location, near to shopping and a lot of restaurant nearby. It offers complimantary wine-hour between 5-7, and the guests is offered 2 units of beer or wine, in the breakfast area. The visit includes breakfast with juice, oat porridge, coffey, waffles, yoghurt, muffins, some bread. They have a fitness center with good equipment for hotel-standard. The bed was large and comfortable. Plus-side: fitness center, location, breakfast, comfortable bed , complimentary wine-hour Minus-side: the yoghurt had past its due date, not so much bread to choose from, everything is served in disposables (plastic) and is not good regarding to the environment. The hotel does not have a bar or restaurant, even thoug they market themselves as a hotel with bar and restaurant in hotels.com

Do not trust this hotel!! They stole money from our account! They claimed we checked out late and charged us $25 (lie lie lie!!) plus additional hidden fees, totalling $41. When we booked through Agoda, we were told all fees and taxes included. I have tried to contact the hotel to resolve this and they ignored my requests for a refund. Such a shame as otherwise the stay would have been ok. Being robbed of hard earned cash obviously leaves you with a sour taste.

Great hotel! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were comfortable (get a room on 6th floor if you can) and the complimentary drinks at happy hour were awesome — not to mention the continental breakfast with Belgian waffle station! I would definitely stay here again. I should mention, I booked thru a third party and after reading other reviews I was worried my reservation might get lost so I called a week before and a day before arrival just to confirm - everything went off without a hitch. :)

We stayed here for a girls' trip 3 years ago (pre-Covid) and liked it so much that we made a point to return to stay here again this year when we got the trip back up and running. We had a really spotty experience this time and would not choose to come back in the future. The location is great, and as others have pointed out the hotel is clean. Our room and the common spaces, however, are beat up and in need of serious maintenance. Walls and furniture are torn, chipped, peeling, etc. It looks much different than the last time we were here. More importantly, the service this time was wildly inconsistent. Staff was sometimes professional and helpful, other times were almost aggressively unhelpful. It felt like a budget hotel but with higher prices.

I recently stayed at the Kinzie Hotel for nine nights. Additionally, as the person in charge of my company’s accommodations, I’ve booked over 50 rooms and hundreds of nights for my fellow employees at this location. Our last stay at the Kinzie was so poor that we will never return. In addition to the broken elevator that caused long waits and uncomfortable conditions, the rooms have seen better days. Uncomfortable beds, torn wallpaper, and chipped paint are part of the overall design aesthetic at the Kinzie these days. The flavored water in the lobby was gone and the doorman was present 1 of the 50 or so times I walked through the lobby. Worst of all, however, is the customer service. I’ve contacted the front desk several times to fix billing issues only to met each time with combative, unprofessional, and unhinged employees at the front desk—employees unable to answer simple questions, condescending comments, and borderline racist language. I advise you to avoid the Kinzie and head to a corporate hotel that will take care of you as a guest.
