Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved the atmosphere of this place! It's quiet, historic, and it was pleasant. The only real draw back was the window air conditioner, but besides that, staff was friendly and check in was quick, check out quicker. Parking was either free on street or you could pay $20 a night and park in the gated lot the residents and other guests used. My only drawback was there weren't any sewing kits availability, but that's my fault.

We were extremely happy with our stay at the Knickerbocker. It was perfect for being in the heart of the city, near to Summerfest grounds, beer gardens, and near enough to walk to the Brady Street area to see family there. The room was so spacious and comfortable, as well. And the hotel is lovely with a lot of character. What a wonderful trip!
Spacious bedroom with sitting area
Small dining area and kitchen and lots of windows
Near the lake for Summerfest
Right by Juneau Park Beer Garden and other gardens. Good walking.
