We cancel the reservation because when we arrived we found out no elevator which Expedia did not state and there was three flights of stairs to get to the room. Totally unacceptable.

Great location, clean, but lots to improve on

Location was great. There are a LOT of steep stairs to get up. Here are things to note: Middle outlet needed between beds. No desk in room to work from and wifi was incredibly slow, basically unusable. Barn door not covering completely bathroom, so not sealed and you can see in and out. Blinds in our room weren’t flush with the window. Shared areas, nice that you get a spot in the frig since there isn’t one in the room. Laundry room was mess, the washers were full of towels and bedding was all in the ground so you couldn’t really walk in. They also use scented detergent for sheets/towels, so not great for someone with allergies. English breakfast that they advertise to them means milk, yogurt and cereal. Parking was tight, when we were there, a guest in a huge truck parked over the lines and we couldn’t fit in the one left spot so had to park on the street.

Nice, comfortable beds. Check in was easy, and there are a few parking spots in the back. Great neighborhood. The shades in the room are not darkening and light comes in very early so be ready to start your day when the sun rises. There is no continental breakfast, only a community kitchen for you to make your own food.

Could be great. Shared space/ammenities need work.

Upon arrival the shared kitchen space was very dirty. Crumbs all over countertops, dishes in sink, dirty dishes in dishwasher which was full. Thought was maybe it would get cleaned the next day and restocked with coffee. Entered room which was clean with the exception of crumbs on the small table and chairs in the room. The next day we awoke to the room becoming a little warmer. Went out to make coffee and get the advertised English breakfast that was supposed to be included. Nothing there. Text the contact number and they said they don't provide that and asked who i booked through. Told them and they said they would reach out to hotels.com because info was incorrect. Looking back at reviews it looked like it used to be offered. Someone else also recently stayed and said breakfast was missing as well. Went back in the room to find out was getting warmer. Temp set at 68 but temp was 72 and getting warmer. Text again. Said the app told them it was working. Waited and temp went to 75. Had to get ready for the day in a warm and stuffy room. They sent someone out after we left. Addressed the issue, which we were greatful for but no aplogy or anything for all of the issues. We stayed two nights and the kitchen was finally being addressed and coffee pods added morning we were leaving. No spoons in drawers. There are no instructions for anyone staying there and using a shared space.

Unique and eclectic but not worth $250/night

The hotel is very unique but definitely not worth $250/night: the bed was incredibly hard (my fiancé and I didn’t sleep well and woke up each morning with stiff backs) and the pillows were so soft they didn’t offer any support (we woke up with stiff necks). While the place was clean, the communal kitchen needed needed quite a bit of restocking—from coffee pods, tea bags and oatmeal to cereal spoons, tea cups and coffee cups (we had to wait until other guests finished their coffees so we could wash out their cups and make coffee for ourselves).

This is a cool place for stay, close to lots of great places to eat and shop (if you like comic books, vintage, small businesses). It was a bit much to be in one room with our 2 teenagers, with only one bathroom with a hanging door that didn’t provide privacy (doesn’t close entirely) and no bathroom fan. The room got super warm during our second night and we couldn’t get it to cool down, so sleeping was kind of miserable for us—and because there are no staff on duty, we couldn’t do anything about it. I would say this is the perfect place for a single adult or a couple, but not amazing for a family sharing one room.

I am not crazy about not having any staff, at all. Seems big brother-ish, as does the sign on the board that “we are watching you.” I gave high marks on the cool building, although it was hard to regulate the water temp in 6. Your guests were all very nice, but I have to say there must be a middle ground here that you could find if you tried. Other hotels, hostels manage to do that. Why not Kinn?
