Clean, modern, minimalist room designed. Functional aesthetic. It was perfect for me. A single traveler who just wanted to work at the desk and watch a little TV. Breakfast buffet was excellent. You hang your clothes on hooks on the wall. No closet. I liked it but not for everyone. Floors not carpet. Again, I liked it but some people might prefer carpet. Good location near restaurants and museums. Bring drinks and snacks. The price of snacks and drinks in the lobby is outrageous.

The facility was very clean and the front desk staff was SO kind! We didn’t take advantage of the free continental breakfast but I do think it’s a big plus that it is offered. There’s easy street parking, but you have to pay starting at 8am from Monday - Saturday. I also enjoyed the fact they have a dry erase board right in front of the elevators that are full or locals favorites and suggestions in the city. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Milwaukee.
