Wonderful hotel in great location
This hotel was just perfect for our weekend stay in Milwaukee; very clean and great hospitality. It is in the perfect location and walking distance of The Third Ward - home to many great cafes and boutiques. Also very close to The Public Market where there are equally many goodies and treats. I especially enjoyed the ease of valet parking. I will definitely be staying here again.

Nice downtown hotel
Lovely hotel, excellent staff. Loved the pillows!
Wish they had potatoes to go with the eggs instead of 3 meat options at breakfast.

Stayed here for one night while attending a concert at Riverside Theatre. It is about a 10 minute walk.
Hotel was OK, could have been cleaner. There was hair all over the bathroom. We parked next-door at the parking garage, it was cheaper than their valet.

Inconvenience
Place had a very nice continental breakfast I'll give them that. Parking and no direct walking to the hotel is an inconvenience. Having to carry your bags through a parking ramp and walk to hotel sucks.

Great stay in great area of Milwaukee
Great location and very clean rooms. The continental breakfast was great with plenty of options. The valet parking was confusing on our arrival and we chose to park in structure next to property because the valet area was to busy.
