Freehand Chicago

10/10 Excellent

"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!"
