I brought my wife and two kids here for 3 nights and it turned out great. The Kinney cares about cleanliness and the rooms are nice. Parking is very convenient. The only hiccup that we didn’t even bring up as it wasn’t a huge deal is we booked a room that had a door to the bedroom (as reflected on Expedia). Our room did not have a door. The Hot Tub and pool area is small, but as long as you are flexible or not shy for when you want to swim/hot tub it’s a nice pool area with music playing. If we come back to stay in the area, we will book with them again!

It was completely fine and conveninetly located. Its a little worse for wear and not as new as things look in the pictures but consistent with 3 star rating and reasonable price for the area. Easy on site parking with friendly staff. It's like an old days inn with attempt at hip paintjob but still having popcorn stucco.

Staff were great! Parking was easy in an area that has notorious parking issues. It is walkable to some things, bike-able to all the best Venice has to offer. The building felt quite old and worn. The room smelled of a combination of overpowering disinfectant and must. Compared to everything else in the area, it was affordable and felt pretty safe.

So disappointed. We called to book a room specifically because we were hoping to use the hot tub. The person we spoke with confirmed that the hot tub was open and hot, but when we arrived the water was freezing cold. We asked the front desk if they could turn it up but they insisted they could not and also said that it was cold because it was a rainy day. Having a hot tub at home, I know that once you set it to a specific temperature, as long as it’s working, it will stay at that temperature despite rain, snow, etc. They could have been upfront about the hot tub being cold or not working, and we wouldn’t have made a reservation with them. I am appalled by the level of service, and I cannot recommend staying here.

Great stay with very unique decorations. The hotel was able to accommodate a rollaway bed last minute due to the rainstorm to house more guests. Overall, I will come back!

The staff was extremely friendly and vey helpful. Parking was very convenient and the entire hotel felt very safe. Our room was very clean and stocked with coffee and plenty of towels. The furniture was very clean and the room was set up very well. This has to be one of the most confortable beds I've ever slept in during a hotel stay. We absolutely loved all the amenities like playing ping pong and sitting by the fire. I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay!

I love how there is so much common space… There are lots of chairs where guests can relax outside of their room. I also like the art that’s all over the place. Another thing is, it doesn’t look like there’s anywhere nice to walk to from the hotel, but there are actually five or six nice bars and restaurants that are within a quarter mile

The Kinney was all it promised. Quirky, creative and full of fun art and funky decor. It was clean. and the hotel employees efficient. Friendly but low key. Good access to restaurants and bars and you can walk to the boardwalk in 20-25 minutes! Definitely recommend it! We will be back!
