We appreciate many things about this stay. First is the historical beauty of the property, beautiful public spaces and rooms. The location to the downtown and Fiserv Forum brings us back each time. Friendly staff, and onsite food service at the Knick makes for a perfect stay. Separate fee for parking needs to be noted.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was very kind and helpful. Our room was very clean. However, the shower and bathroom was so outdated that it was literally falling apart. For an upscale downtown hotel, I expected a nicer, more usable bathroom.
