Because the restaurant was closed we had to call a number to gain access to the lobby. Parking is a good 5-10 minute walk away in a ramp that has complicated rules and no ticket system. It would be great if hotel worked out something with the city to ease that. But you may luck out and use a space in front of the hotel to drop off your luggage. The shower was an absolute delight! Breakfast voucher was nice for offsite dining next to the hotel.

Beautiful hotel in heart of downtown Waukesha. Beautiful restaurant in hotel but only open certain hours which was disappointing. A little loud at night but since we are right downtown by all the bars, you should expect it.

Many things to say about this property. The rooms were great, spacious, well appointed and clean. The access to the property was poor. You couldn't access the property to check in without being buzzed in. The front desk hours (9am-5pm) was problematic. The property and room access cards/keys did not work very well. Over the three days we stayed there, our keys fail over 5 times. In one instance,we couldn't access the property at 10:30pm, with our keys, except for one out of five. Then we couldn't access our room with any key. As there was no one at the front desk, we were forced to call an afterhours number which took 2 calls to reach someone to access another key. Very inconvenient when we wanted to get in our room. Also, the hotel advertised a complimentary breakfast. In face each room got a $10 coupon per day for a local restaurant, which didn't quite amount to a free breakfast. Parking was over 2 blocks away as well.

There was hardly any staff. Room cards and some instructions were in a lockbox outside the entrance. Our key cards did not work to enter our room. Had to wait to get new cards brought to us. Parking was two blocks away from the hotel. The next morning we were asked if we wanted our room cleaned. We said yes, but they never did it. Our room window faced another building about six feet away. What a view! The common areas were nicely done, but the overall experience was poor.
