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

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.

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.

Crazy nights

Not happy...booked my room two months in advance, only to not get my request achieved. . About one in morning the room was so cold , they couldn't fix the heater, didn't try to Anyway .. waited till they gave us another room not handicapped , took till three in morning to have a warm room to sleep. Your cold food spread for breakfast is very good, the warm food consisting of eggs and water,, and the gravy biscuits could just use someone to add some flavor to those... Other than those two items it's a good deal. I appreciate it. The listing was a little misleading about how close and where the parking was and that it was going to cost.. maybe it was the picture was misleading.
