Location and style! The heater did not work. Three lights were out. The valet parking was absolutely wrong. We parked our car four of the five nights because no one was there. At $44/night, it was way wrong.

    Duane · solo traveller · 2026-10-08

    “I liked the location...close to the Harley-Davidson Museum (my primary destination) and the Milwaukee Art Museum. I liked the free sheltered motorcycle parking; this greatly influenced my choice of hotels (You should advertise this feature more). I really enjoyed the motorcycle ambiance, and the art throughout the hotel. I liked the reading room a lot and used it somewhat. I appreciated having an in-hotel restaurant and used it during my stay. The staff there were very good as well. Most importantly, the bed was very comfortable.”

  • Comfortable heritage stay in a great neighborhood downtown Milwaukee.

    “Like the character, seemed vintage, and the artwork. The room was comfortable, spacious and quiet. We found free parking on a side street. We walked down to the fest grounds for the event we were attending.”

The parking staff was also very friendly and helpful. The art on all the floors and our room was really interesting and fun. Room was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable.”
