Great hotel. Great area😎
-
Great, clean room. The guy at the desk was super helpful, and the server we had for lunch at the Knick was awesome! Sorry I didn’t get his name!

Got the romantic sweet but they had portable air conditioners that could not cool the room off. Other rooms had real air conditioners but not this romantic suite. when telling front desk it was hot we were offered a fan that didn’t do much. Parking prices were outrageous compared to what you already payed for hotel room. All to come back and find no parking. They had a strip of parallel parking behind building, however there is no turn around and can barely get in regularly and almost hit my car multiple times. At least front desk refunded us parking after we had to park on street anyways after paying for parking. The best part was the food, but let’s be honest, you could eat and not pay those prices for a hot room.
-
The only complaint is the hand soaps, body wash and conditioner were all empty in our bathroom when we checked in. Also no ice bucket or ice available.
-
Reasonable price...good location for activities within reasonable waking distance. Room was clean. Only criticism is facility has been around for v quite awhile with window ac
-
Pretty old and dirty looking room. Walls were dirty, carpet was crusty and stained. Bathroom was a disaster!!! Nasty used q-tip left behind. Long black hairs in the tub and on the stained towels. Shower head cracked and I was told there were no other rooms to move to and no maintenance available until the next day.
-
Two downsides that were unfortunate, one that was truly concerning. The shower handle was broken and almost impossible to control the temperature of the water and the second was that a few moments into my shower I lost all water pressure. The main concern was the antiquated lock for the door. It was a chain lock and a rickety deadbolt. That was an issue but I was only there for 1 night and I dealt with it.

Parking lot was tight for a minivan
-
Great place wihin walking distance to Summerfest grounds. We will be back!
-
This was like staying in a modern museum. You had both the beautiful artistry of the building with us manifesting
-
We had a great view. Our property was clean. Loved having a little kitchen to make coffee and breakfast.
-
Great location and we'll maintained.
-
I would only give it less than 5 stars because we had to ask for wash clothes, kcups and toilet paper. Like the room wasn’t fully cleaned/stocked before we arrived. Then after being gone all day service never came so I had to ask for coffee again since we stayed 2 nights. Weekend/ summer prices are high so there’s a bit of an expectation when you pay 350+ a night. The restaurant was nice and staff was friendly. Over all, we would stay here again.

Very clean room.. friendly staff
-
Quaint, historic hotel. Great location. Clean, large room. Highly recommend!
-
Great and historic place to stay in Milwaukee. 20/30ish minute walk to many places like Pfizer, Summerfest, Lakefront, Brady Street & Milwaukee Public Market/3rd Ward. My husband and I enjoyed a Staycation here. Very nice to have the kitchen area and roominess of the room! Only downfalls were 1 night we had to park on street because the lot was full and they do have window A/C's- kept room cool but constant background noise.
-
Great location just north of downtown on the lake. Comfortable, clean, well equipped rooms for short and long stays. Will absolutely be returning!
-
