Great one-night getaway!
Pros:

It had plenty of space. Had a nice kitchenette. Close to great restaurants. Very quiet.

Cons:

Was very cold in the room although it was probably the coldest day of the year that we stayed here. The shower wall seemed a little too open.

Kinn is the best hotel experience that Milwaukee has to offer
Pros:

I love the Kinn hotels period. This is my fourth time staying in a Kinn, second time at Bay View. It like the communal feel with shared area with all the amenities. The rooms are spacious, well decorated with lovely high ceilings and very clean. Special note: The Italian restaurant downstairs has the best pizza that I’ve ever had in my life.

A hybrid of a boutique hotel and a fancy hostel. Beautiful rooms, nice amenities, great location.
Pros:

Great location in Bay View, within walking distance of several wonderful restaurants, a restored movie theater and the public library. A five minute walk to the Green bus line that goes to the airport or to downtown. The large common room / kitchen is a great amenity, especially for making your own breakfast (the hotel provided some staples like milk, yogurt and coffee). The self-service laundry and huge refrigerator are very helpful. Although it is above a busy restaurant, I had no trouble with noise in my room.

Cons:

This may not be the best Guesthouse for every family. You must be able to carry your bags up a flight of stairs (no elevator, no staff to help you). Small children might have too much energy for the fairly small footprint of the guest house. If you are the kind of traveler who wants to have staff on the premises to solve every little problem, this might not be the place for you. It was perfect for me, an active, independent traveler.

Best Guesthouse.
Pros:

What a fabulous guesthouse! Comfortable big room, beautifully decorated throughout. Lovely shared kitchen with breakfast foods, coffee etc.

Cons:

Perhaps one thing was the noisy aircon, we had no idea how to work it so it did keep us awake a bit with its regular sounds. Would be nice to have instructions handy perhaps. Must note we are light sleepers so it may not bother others.
