We loved the options at the breakfast bar! Check in was super easy, and the diy “best spots in the area” white board was amazing for recommendations!! The room was clean & it felt super safe on property.

Average Stay

Our experience was about average. The staff were extremely friendly. There were no issues there. The few complaints I have are as follows: - Parking: With only one valet, it’s difficult when returning and you have to wait for them to get back to hand off your keys. - Housekeeping: Our room did not get cleaned. We kept our ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door until late morning, but when we left, the housekeeper was right outside our door working on the room next to us and saw us leaving. Still no service that day. - Misc: room temperature was difficult to adjust (one degree was a significant temperature change); window shade pulley was broken and we were not able to adjust; room light was difficult to get to in the far corner behind the bed

Friendliness sets them apart

The staff were incredibly kind which really sets this experience apart. We were hoping to check in early as I was sick and while the staff weren't able to get us in immediately, they worked really hard to get us a room as soon as possible, they showed sympathy for how I was feeling, remembered my name from a phone call earlier in the day, and were just all around kind. When we checked out the next day, the man at the front desk asked how I was feeling and said he hoped I continued to feel better. Everyone was just so kind - the experience all around was great.

Fair Place. Good Service

This is a nicely located hotel for the downtown area, Being right next to the third ward, you are less than a half mile from tons of restaurants bars and other places. We stayed during Summerfest and it was less than a mile from that too. Parking there is 28 bucks a day, so try and find something cheaper. Milwaukee has about 200 parking lots downtown and they all charge differently. The TRU side of the building is strictly average hotel rooms, but will run you about 50-100 a night less than the Home2Suites on the other side (which provides kitchenettes with the room. You do need to request room service, but the big points here are for the staff. They were all friendly and helpful and that goes a long way towards making a stay decent. The "free breakfast" is about what you would expect for "free" so maybe go 500 feet to one of three other places for a better option if you are willing to pay a bit. No bar onsite, but again plenty of great options within 1000 feet. We would certainly stay here again.
