My husband and I stayed at this property for three nights while visiting Milwaukee. The hotel was a grand, historic hotel in a central location. The room was tired and worn looking with stains on the carpet and a thermostat that didn't seem to work. Our room had the smallest bathroom we have ever seen in a Hilton hotel. Only one person could fit in the bathroom at a time, no space on the vanity for your personal items. No refrigerator or microwave in room, you might want to bring a small cooler along to keep beverages cool. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed having a Starbucks downstairs. We also enjoyed the multiple parking options available with a parking garage and additional parking across the street, both parking choices had fees.

Our room had only one bedside table thus one bedside light. We are both readers. A reading chair was in the room but no light source. I felt as if our room was supposed to be a large supply closet. It was just okay.

Very convenient, walking distance from train station and Riverside Theater. We couldn't figure out how to work the TV. My friend expected a pool and hot tub.

Loved Millie the dog concierge. The maid service was wonderful. Had a minor issue with an elevator & the hotel manager on duty, Daniel Pierce went out of way with a little extra bonus for us. This is an older hotel in a great location & I would definitely stay there again.

We have stayed at multiple Hilton Hotels throughout the country and have always been beyond pleased. However, this stay doesn’t compare to the others. We had an issue with parking, we weren’t informed of the parking situation when checking in by anyone we spoke with, which was a total of 3 employees of the hotel. We kept getting 3 different versions. After finally getting situated into the hotel over night, our bed was a disaster. There was absolutely no fitted sheet on the mattress, it was a plain flat sheet which kept moving exposing the mattress through the night, and the comforter was laid bare in between two flat sheets which was unpleasant. We woke up with the comforter on the ground and the flat sheets covering us. Definitely one of the worst experiences of a Hilton stay.
