This hotel was a great place to stay while visiting son and daughter in law in Milwaukee. The hotel was clean, staff was friendly and it was an easy walk to shopping, dining, the public Market and even to Lake Michigan. We would stay again.

Excellent location! Less than a 10 minute walk to the Public Market in the Historic Third District and a 15 minute walk to The Brat House bar beside the Bucs arena. The Brat House is a bar amongst others on LMKing that provides free shuttles to Brewers games. Hotel had an excellent complimentary breakfast with coffee, eggs, cereal, hot cakes and so on. The hotel was a fraction of the price compared to others. I would stay here again! Comfy beds and quiet.
