Only two complaints I have were our room had pet hair all over the couch and frame of bed. Switched to another room and still had the same issue. There’s no microwaves in the room. The employees down in the bar/restaurant were not friendly to my kind. Walked in that area got looked at, but no service until I had to walk over there and see what the problem was. But when their kind came in they were on point and very attentive to them. Definitely entitlement at this hotel.

Overall it was fine, the one suggestion that I would give about the suite is to remove the carpet in the bathroom and replace with wood-like surface. Additionally, have a handle and soap holder in the walk-in shower

Excellent staff and warm reception. Good location. Used Uber to Summerfest. Nice outdoor bar. Minimal menu, but sufficient for a like meal. However the room is well used smelled like a locker room. Hotel is close to 94 and could occasionally hear traffic. Told front desk and they were they helpful and took my comments seriously. Needs some sprucing given the price for the room. Stayed at their sister hotel in Indy and it was a amazing.

Iconic hotel. Industrial chic. Great ambiance. Service has suffered under “ new management “ I was told. Mini bar in my room locked as is apparently the new policy. Told to fetch key at front desk with $50 fee if not returned.Mini bar in my children’s room unlocked and not restocked- empty wine bottle still in fridge. Told to personally inventory fridge and report missing items to desk. All room snacks only available at desk . Stayed at this hotel many times over many years. Disappointed.

We got the top floor king loft, heard the TV next door entire day and night. Our phone in the room didn't work so I had to run down 3 times to get the front desk to have the guest next door turn it down or off. Timber lofts are notorious for sound transfer, but this was the wall. There's no sound insulation. This place is not worth the price.
