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.
