Great Property, Great Location, Great Value!
I've stayed at this property many times. They have made some nice updates since my last stay including extra pillows on each bed. NICE! Given the price, location, amenities, cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff, I don't think I would stay anywhere else in downtown MKE. I look forward to my next visit to MKE.

This property is centrally located to many hot spots including performing arts, sports, night clubs, and restaurants. Do a search, on-line, before your trip to know what's available. There's a lot within a 1/4 mile.

Good place to stay in downtown Milwaukee
Easy check in and out. Close to almost everthing. Had to park in open lot or garage across the street. Parking fees a little pricey, but our car was safe in the parking garage over night. The room was a little small, but was what we needed. All in all was a good spot to stay. We will go there again.

Great value!
Wonderful location with all kinds of restaurants, bars and pubs in the area. Four blocks from Bradley Center, free or low cost shuttles to Miller Park nearby and the Harley Museum close by. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was great. Parking in a ramp across the street for only $12/24hrs. Great value for the money. We've stayed there at least 5 times and have never been disappointed.

Between the hotel and the Bradley Center on Old World 3rd Street there are martini bars and restaurants. On Wisconsin Ave towards the river there are Brewery pubs with food. Both ways on Wisconsin Ave there are Irish and sports pubs and restaurants including a couple of great steakhouses.

This was a very nice location being right downtown. The appearance upon our arrival was not as.nice as.expected, but the room was very nice. The elevators were quite scary. Breakfast was nice.

Good location and clean
Husband and I came on our Harley to see the Harley Davidson Museum. It was fun and definately worth $16!! Ate at a famous burger joint and a really great pizza place! City was easy to get around but we were there on a weekday! Very enjoyable short trip. Something we have wanted to do for a few yrs.

Perfect locale
Being just blocks from the Pabst, we were able to walk to the concert. We were given a upgrade on our room when we checked in and the room was clean, fresh and had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again.

Nice hotel in a great location.
We were there to see a concert and it was centrally located and clean. We had to change rooms at 2am because of a water main break and I can't believe we have to pay for parking!
