Wonderful hotel in great location

This hotel was just perfect for our weekend stay in Milwaukee; very clean and great hospitality. It is in the perfect location and walking distance of The Third Ward - home to many great cafes and boutiques. Also very close to The Public Market where there are equally many goodies and treats. I especially enjoyed the ease of valet parking. I will definitely be staying here again.

This was a very good experience from the start, front desk person helped us with parking, did not push at all to use their own valet which I liked, but gave options in the area. The room was very spacious and clean, bunch of cable options even resting couch. Breakfast was really good, we were pleasantly surprised. Both times we had breakfast at the hotel, I and my wife had to skip brunch because we were so full. Overall great experience, nice staff, great price.
