The bed was very comfortable and the room was always clean. I was there for three nights for work, and the water was lukewarm, which was unpleasant. There was also very little water pressure in the shower.

Great customer service
The staff was very kind & caring. I had a problem with the TV and asked for maintenance to fix it. The gentleman at the front desk remembered me the next morning at breakfast and asked if the TV was fixed now. I was surprised (and pleased) that he had remembered me! Also, my family was playing some board games in the lobby one evening. There were several people that were returning to the hotel after spending their evening out. The women at the front desk were friendly and engaged with each person that come through the door. They were very personnable and friendly.

It was a nice location. The room wasn’t very clean and there was no wash cloths or hand towels. The breakfast was good and had a hot bar. Staff was very nice. Parking is not friendly must park in garage area a block away. Or behind the hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Despite booking a suite months in advance that was to have a sleeper sofa in addition to 2 beds, our family of 5 was given a standard room that only had 2 beds. Also, the sink was fully backed up and we couldn’t even wash our hands. Brushing teeth out of a cup and spitting into a toilet was the highlight of our trip, even after maintenance came and “fixed” the issue. Of course, they didn’t have any rooms available to accommodate their “mistake” of selling our booked room for a higher rate. The noise level from the exterior was insanely loud, every time a car drove by it sounded like a street race. Noise from above level of someone just simply walking was also a big annoyance. Upon checkout, I stood at the front counter for a good 3 minutes while the front desk girl sat off to the side scrolling on her cell phone. She then complained the entire time of having to do her job. I’ve stayed at several downtown Milwaukee hotels in the past and this was hands down the worst.
