Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Lovely historic property and front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was nice but a little warm - but we were able to open the window. The cleaning was underwhelming though - no coffee replacement even - and unfortunately, they left our room unlocked after cleaning! No issues - nothing missing - but that was a concern.

Nice, but lacking in house keeping

Was initially excited do to there being a kitchenette. Unfortunately there was not oven mits to take the baking sheet out of the oven which was annoying. Also house keeping only came to my room once in the 4 night stay. I initially thought wa be cause we slept in the third day. Though we left the next morning at 9am for an event we were in Milwaukee for and the room still had not had house keeping to at least remove garbage. This could of just been unfortunate overlook but i likely will not stay here again after this stay.

Larissa at the front desk was incredible! I had some trouble with my tv upon checking in and she went above and beyond to resolve the issue and could not have been sweeter while doing so. Overall my whole experience was fantastic but Larissa's customer service was above and beyond. I support giving her a raise :)

Truly rhe worst stay ever

The hotel is terribly outdated something reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby. It took three rooms to get it "OK". First room featured dishes in the sink, a deposit in the toilet and no towel service. The second room had garbage in the kitchen, no towel service and an unmade bed. Goldilocks? The final room was habitable. I will nerver, ever stay at this hotel again as long as I live.
