The room was extremely nice and quiet. The bed was ultra comfortable. The area was walking distance to the downtown restaurant area. One thing: we could not increase the tv volume. We are older and hard of hearing. We assume it was set up to avoid loudness for the other guests but the volume was too low.

The staff was incredibly kind and friendly. Room was spectacular, parking was easy and affordable, and the hotel and brooms are beautiful. It was an absolutely amazing stay, close to so much to do in Milwaukee. Will definitely be coming back here.

We’ve stayed here numerous times over the last five years and it seems to be going downhill. The breakfast in the library used to be excellent but now it’s served in the Ash and it’s like pulling teeth to get service there. Food is not as good either. Our room was smaller than previous even though I booked the same type. No chair in the room or side table. Also, we could hear our neighbors whole conversation which normally every single room we’ve had was almost sound proof. So needless to say this left us quite disappointed. May not book here again after this.
