Great location, reasonably priced

This hotel was walking distance to downtown and the park where I was participating in a triathlon. The hotel was clean however I dont think our room was cleaned while we were there. We asked for fresh towels each day. The only real problem was the guests above us were very noisy, like they were dropping things all night. Walls were pretty thin. Breakfast was pretty good. We would come back.

The ice machines did not work on most floors. Also, the hallways seemed quite warm and humid most of the time. But the hotel was clean and the staff very attentive and friendly. IDE stay again for sure.

Hotel was clean, room was clean, bed comfy, nice shower, storage, everyone was nice, the breakfast was decent, everything you need. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion, microwave, kuerig coffee machine, fridge, hair dryer. We walked to almost everything, art museum, discovery, milwaukee market, river walk lots of food options, parking options. One thing we had a problem with is finding a luggage cart to bring our stuff in and out. Coming in the valet attendant ran to the hotel next door and got one for us. Leaving another valet attendant ran to find one, couldn't so offered to help us carry stuff. So buy more luggage carts maybe besides that no complaints. Price for the room was decent they had alot of events going on in the area, parking was a little pricey they had other options I just liked that I could go in and out the valet attendants were all there and helpful it was just convenient.

My son and I stayed at the hotel in order to attend baseball games. The hotel was perfect for us. It was very comfortable, close to many restaurants, and very close to the ball park. It was very easy getting ride shares there as well. The staff were very gracious and accommodating. We would stay here again should the need arise.
