"This is a great location, close to so much. The rooms and beds are comfy. I only have one small complaint, their elevator is sooo slow. Getting out took longer waiting for elevator than getting dressed. It was not uncommon to wait 5-10 mins for an elevator. But everything else was super fun and easy. Just across from a Harry Potter store, Starbucks reserve, and a quick walk to the Riverwalk. Great overall experience."

The Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago

The Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago

8/10 Good
"The location is this hotel’s greatest strength. It is a solid, long-established business hotel that has been remodeled and remains in very good condition. The setting feels safe and is exceptionally convenient for shopping, museums, architecture, and restaurants. The staff was professional and responsive; our room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. A few considerations: 1. South-facing rooms look directly into the side of the John Hancock Building and can pick up Michigan Avenue street noise. I have not been assigned a north facing room, so I can't comment on whether it is better. 2. The walls are somewhat thin. I use white noise, which made this manageable, but loud neighboring conversations can be audible. 3. The “resort” fee is irritating—though, with a relatively low room rate, it is clearly part of the hotel’s revenue model and an incentive to use the restaurant or bar. We had a pleasant stay, and this was the second time I have chosen the hotel."

"We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Kins Hotel. Our room was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable, and it was actually much larger than the images we had seen when booking, which was a lovely surprise. The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly. From the reception staff and valet team to the cleaners, everyone was welcoming, professional and always happy to assist whenever we had a question. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at the Kins Hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay. We would happily return ourselves!"
