A great spacious hotel, however area is loud due to the hotel being in the heart of the downtown area. On the flip side, though, the walkability is great being in the heart of downtown.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
There was hardly any staff. Room cards and some instructions were in a lockbox outside the entrance. Our key cards did not work to enter our room. Had to wait to get new cards brought to us. Parking was two blocks away from the hotel. The next morning we were asked if we wanted our room cleaned. We said yes, but they never did it. Our room window faced another building about six feet away. What a view! The common areas were nicely done, but the overall experience was poor.

Liked the location, but our hotel room faced the Main Street and we could hear a lot of noise from college kids partying and people doing karaoke. Cool hotel overall and our room (executive king) was very spacious

I enjoyed my stay very much. Lovely property with character! As a solo, female traveler, I was uncomfortable parking on the 3rd floor of a ramp 2+ blocks away when I arrived at the hotel after dark. And the parking ramp's elevator isn't in service after 7:00, as I recall. I'm able bodied so was able to take the flights of stairs but it was rather scary. Then I needed to set up an account with Waukesha municipal parking. So - I loved the hotel; the parking was inconvenient & guests assume some risk if they park/need to retrieve their vehicle after dark from the ramp.

The good: beautiful historic building, clean and quiet rooms that are large and comfortable. Neighborhood has a ton of great shopping and dining options. The bad: multiple rooms, but only one postage stamp sized TV, no matter what we set the a/c to, the room was at least 70 degrees, water temp for shower was SO hard to control. No one available after 6pm. The UGLY: Parking is atrocious! Blocks away and requires you to apply for a parking permit. No spots available anywhere near the hotel for unloading or checking in. We won't stay again.

I really liked how it was in downtown Waukesha. I didn't rent a car and I didn't even miss it. I walked everywhere and felt very safe as a single woman. There were several dining options very close by and affordable. Wednesday and Thursday were very quiet and Friday night was kind of loud with people partying outside at the local bars. It didn't affect me too much. I loved my room. It was spacious and had high ceilings. The bed was SUPER comfortable and the shower was great.
