    I had an amazing stay at The McKinley Inn! The location is perfect—close enough to easily explore the area yet tucked away, making it feel private and peaceful. The rooms were spotless, well-decorated, and incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully planned for a cozy and welcoming experience. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. I highly recommend The McKinley Inn to anyone visiting the area—can't wait to stay here again!

    Very quaint, comfortable. You can see the history inside and out. Celebrated my birthday with the entire family.

    This is a fusion of historic and modern vibes. It was a delightful weekend stay for my family. Hence, I loved and appreciated the large yard for the kids. The inside is quite spacious, is comfy, visually nice, has 4 nice suites, and is close to food and bars. The McKinley Inn’s kitchen and bar…loved that. Lots of fun to be had in that main social area. After visiting, I believe this place is incredibly suited for events. I’ll be back. Last, the hosts/management were easy to communicate and coordinate with…just excellent. Thank you! 5 stars earned.

    A turn-of-the-century hotel and bar in downtown Elgin, converted into a comfortable and modern venue, still with original touches here and there. We really enjoyed our stay here.
