But the historic hotel's custom-designed rooms offer modern amenities, making today's traveler feel at home.

Historic Charm
Stayed one night at this hotel with friends. The room was a little musty, but large and had good views. The location was excellent and dinner in the Envoy was top notch. Would stay here again and/or recommend to a friend. Lobby had a nice historic charm. All staff we encountered were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Good value priced alternative to downtown hotels
Overall the Ambassador offers all the amenities of downtown hotels, except the location. This hotel would be a great option for parent's meeting their children at Marquette University.

Average missing the Wow's
The room was average. Accommodating with mini fridge fully stocked with charges upon item removal (not my thing). The neighborhood is a little rough, making it uncomfortable for a traveler to walk anywhere.

Driving downtown on a Friday is difficult, no where to park with out a high fee (due to college activities). Driving is also difficult with many no left turns.

Three Great Days in Milwaukee
We visited Milwaukee with friends and we all agree that the hotel was wonderful. We appreciated the chance to park our car without extra fees and the opportunity to use the hotel shuttle made our stay perfect. When we return to Milwaukee for another visit we will not even consider staying at any other hotel. The restoration of the art deco lobby makes it a unique place. Our rooms were spotless. While in Milwaukee we visited the art museum, the Pabst mansion, the Domes, the public library, the Bronze Fonz, the Lakefront Brewery, the public market, the Third Ward and a number of good places to eat.

A Gem!
We were impressed from the moment we checked in. The staff was friendly, our room was quiet and the bathrobes were a nice touch. The unexpected bonus was free shuttle service. We had a rental car but decided to take the shuttle to the baseball game. Our driver dropped us at the gate and was there to pick us up promptly when it was over, saving us the hassle in a new city. Would stay there again!

Short drive from hotel
We're not motorcycle people but thoroughly enjoyed the Harley Davidson museum. There are historical displays about how the company evolved that were much more than just looking at chrome and engines which I had expected!
