My son and I stayed at the hotel in order to attend baseball games. The hotel was perfect for us. It was very comfortable, close to many restaurants, and very close to the ball park. It was very easy getting ride shares there as well. The staff were very gracious and accommodating. We would stay here again should the need arise.

Our go-to hotel in downtown Milwaukee

Very friendly staff, comfortable bed and pillows. Hotel is in very good condition. Probably the best hotel breakfast buffet coffee I’ve had. Definitely the worst orange juice I’ve had anywhere, basically water with an orange hue.

We arrived early in the city and were planning to leave our bags off and explore the area. Instead we were allowed to check in early. It was so appreciated to be able to take a nap after the early flight before exploring the city. Very walkable to many areas and the hop free transportation. We used Uber for convenience but there are also many bus routes if one has the time to utilize a bus. We would recommend staying here to anyone and would definitely come back.

The hotel is fairly new so the rooms are clean and fresh- looking. Service at the front desk was super friendly. The full breakfast bar was nice to have (although the quality is just average). Overall a nice stay.
