Our stay was just okay. The property staff was friendly, but the hotel itself is barebones and the room itself was too bright to get a good night's sleep in (the blinds were too short to cover the entire window). We also found a centipede in our room which wasn't a huge deal as I do know those critters can find their ways into most places. The hotel did not have any sort of breakfast, only coffee or tea in the a.m. Would not return.
One of the cleanest rooms I’ve been in. The white bathroom sparkles. They were very accommodating when I had to stay another night and with locating things in the area. Building is a bit dated but
Stayed here for a Brewer game weekend. Service and Location were excellent. Easy parking. Beds are a bit hard and no breakfast. Otherwise it's a good option for the price and we would stay again.
This was such a perfect little stay for an overnight in Milwaukee - and I’d stay longer if I could’ve! Good proximity to downtown activities, and very cozy and comfortable. I will definitely be bookmarking for future trips to the city!
If you are going to Milwaukee, this place is great. You have parking right in front of the hotel. It is also great if you’re going to the Brewers game because they have a shuttle across the street at one of the restaurants that you can take for free if you eat there. Figure
This motel appeared to be privately owned, and you could tell they really cared for the property. Clean and comfortable, but the friendly staff really stood out. This is my new hotel for future visits to the Milwaukee area
Overall the stay was pleasant. Front desk was extremely nice. It was very clean. It was a bit pricy for the night we stayed but that’s what rooms we’re going for.
