Superb!

We were in town for a quick trip to bring our daughter to college. Hotel location was perfect, almost everywhere we needed to go was within walking distance. The hotel staff was super friendly. Hotel was very clean, smelled good! Our room was clean, beds and pillows super comfy. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

We had ANOTHER excellent experience, staying at this property! The staff was kind and attentive. We had a problem with the shower drain; and the maintenance staff came by 2x's (evening when reported and the next morning) to fix and check on it. We look forward to staying here, again, next year!

Great location, reasonably priced

This hotel was walking distance to downtown and the park where I was participating in a triathlon. The hotel was clean however I dont think our room was cleaned while we were there. We asked for fresh towels each day. The only real problem was the guests above us were very noisy, like they were dropping things all night. Walls were pretty thin. Breakfast was pretty good. We would come back.

The ice machines did not work on most floors. Also, the hallways seemed quite warm and humid most of the time. But the hotel was clean and the staff very attentive and friendly. IDE stay again for sure.

Hotel was clean, room was clean, bed comfy, nice shower, storage, everyone was nice, the breakfast was decent, everything you need. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion, microwave, kuerig coffee machine, fridge, hair dryer. We walked to almost everything, art museum, discovery, milwaukee market, river walk lots of food options, parking options. One thing we had a problem with is finding a luggage cart to bring our stuff in and out. Coming in the valet attendant ran to the hotel next door and got one for us. Leaving another valet attendant ran to find one, couldn't so offered to help us carry stuff. So buy more luggage carts maybe besides that no complaints. Price for the room was decent they had alot of events going on in the area, parking was a little pricey they had other options I just liked that I could go in and out the valet attendants were all there and helpful it was just convenient.
