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.

Nice and clean

This motel is nice, clean and is very close to all the stuff that Milwaukee has to offer. Breakfast was good. Nothing fancy but definitely did the job. My only complaint is you must pay for parking in a garage. But the price of the motel stay was cheaper than most making up for the parking. All in all, it was a good 1 night stay and we slept great after a very long concert. Which was much needed.

Got lied to

I actually didn’t stay here. I got a call asking if I needed 2 beds. I did. Got asked to switch to a new hotel (next door) due to ‘faculty issues’. I politely said yes and was told I’d get 2 queens at the other hotel. I didn’t. I got 1 queen and was told that’s all they had. I wish I knew I would have went somewhere else. So I was kinda annoyed being lied to

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

Good Option Downtown.

This hotel was easy to find. It was within walking distance of our destination, the Papst Theater. They offered valet parking for $39, but I came in on the wrong side of the street so I used the public parking next door for $25. The hotel staff was friendly. They were quick and offered to help with anything else. The room was clean and modern. Dove products in the bathroom. Made it seem high end, while being ecofriendly. The breakfast was a step above with two egg and two meat dishes. Plenty of carb options. The coffee was hot. I would return to this hotel if I was visiting Milwaukee again.
