Kinzie Hotel

This hotel is in a great location. It's walkable to many restaurants and other fun things to do in the city. We went to a Cubs game and were able to walk 5 minutes to the red line, which drops you off right at Wrigley field. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're going to a game but also want to stay in the city! This hotel offers amenities that others do not anymore - free breakfast and a daily complimentary happy hour! The rooms and rest of the property is kept clean, as well. Lastly, the staff is amazing! They were so helpful while we were there, but they also went above and beyond after checkout. I accidentally shipped some items to the hotel after we left, and they helped me reship it to my home! Fantastic customer service!! I will be a repeat customer just because of that! I would recommend anyone stay here - solo travelers, couples, and families!

I stayed here on Labor Day weekend. The staff were all incredibly welcoming and gave great service. They all even greet you when you walk in or leave.

The hotel has a free two-hour long happy hour and continental breakfast. It was in a great location, not far from Michigan Avenue.

The room was really nice. One cool touch they had was Tumi soaps. I’ve never seen a hotel with that.

I want to come back here again!

Really terrific stay! Room was spacious, clean, and updated nicely. The complimentary happy hour and breakfast were a pleasant surprise. The staff we encountered were extremely hospitable. The icing on the cake is the location in River North—fabulous. Would happily stay again, highly recommend.

My one critique is only with the website—it’s glitchy. It gave me a lot of grief when I tried to book directly (so I eventually went to a third party), and when I emailed the Kinzie Hotel contact email to try to clarify, no one ever got back to me (hence the third party booking). So, to my surprise at check in, they had me down for two rooms (although I never received a confirmation email from the hotel directly). However, the receptionist graciously took care of that for me at check in.

My boyfriend and I were in town just for the night. We didn't check in until almost 6 p.m.--it was convenient to have some good restaurants right across the street, by the way :) Our room was spotless. I appreciated the extra pillow in the closet, too. We didn't really take advantage of any of the amenities but were told we had free drinks at happy hour and then breakfast the next morning. We don't drink, and we slept in too late to have breakfast; but it was really nice that that was offered. Thank you. We come to Chicago a couple of times a year (we live in Wisconsin) and will definitely stay at the Kinzie again. Really nice experience.

We just stayed here and it was 10/10! The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful - especially Edgar at front desk. The room was spotless and happy hour was perfect for beverages and snacks. Jose at happy hour was sweet and so kind! For those reviews that complained - it’s a hotel in the middle of the city - you are going to hear noises outside sometimes. The continental breakfast is perfect to start your day - nothing fancy - the basics and the coffee was actually good! The staff worked tirelessly to tidy up and keep everything restocked. Last but not least the location was wonderful! Walkable to everything. Will definitely be back!

The location is very central. Next to the Trump Tower. You can basically walk to all the major attractions. The downside is that breakfast is just an all-you-can-eat burger.

Except that the air conditioner is too strong and a bit cold. Everything else is good.
It is rare in the United States to have toiletries. It is very close to the Michigan River and Trump Tower, and the Corn Cob Building is also very close. Opposite is the Internet celebrity steak restaurant.

Nice location and room service

We were very impressed! The staff were very knowledgeable and alway made themselves available to assist or answer questions. We were here on a first time visit to Chicago and the Kinzie staff made sure we got the most out of it.

The location was convenient for the excellent Chicago Transit system. Many great restaurants were nearby.

If we return, we will be coming back to the Kinzie!

This was an interesting place. The value was great for the location and the quality of the room. They took some kind of additional fee off the deposit, but in exchange you get two free drinks during happy hour? A very interesting concept!
