Quick get away

Great location, Room was very comfortable. The shower and the bed was the best. We were given a food voucher for three places. Parking was two blocks away. I didn’t move my car from the front we’ll see if I get a ticked. Staff very friendly. Looking forward to staying there again.

Because the restaurant was closed we had to call a number to gain access to the lobby. Parking is a good 5-10 minute walk away in a ramp that has complicated rules and no ticket system. It would be great if hotel worked out something with the city to ease that. But you may luck out and use a space in front of the hotel to drop off your luggage. The shower was an absolute delight! Breakfast voucher was nice for offsite dining next to the hotel.

Won’t stay again

Never encountered a hotel where I had to call and be buzzed into the site. You obviously don’t have a lot of support for the staff.

Beautiful hotel

Beautiful hotel in heart of downtown Waukesha. Beautiful restaurant in hotel but only open certain hours which was disappointing. A little loud at night but since we are right downtown by all the bars, you should expect it.
