Every Year a Trip to the Clarke Hotel
The rooms have the bare necessities. No phone or microwave but there is a refrigerator. And there is also a microwave in the general area. I believe this is what helps keep the costs down. It was okay with me. the shower is great, and the television was easy to work with. Best coffee I ever had, and the heating vent was near the ceiling. When I put the fan on, I felt I was at home and sleeping was much easier.

We had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to our rooms. There was no overnight parking by the hotel, had to drive to a ramp and walk a couple blocks back to the hotel.

We had a fantastic time. The rooms are exactly as pictured, very clean and spacious. My only complaint was the pillows are too tall, I ended up with neck pain the next morning. The attached bar was amazing, the bartender went out of her way to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The view of main Street was very nice as well

Stay-cation
We are from Waukesha and had an event downtown. My husband and I decided to stay overnight and have a stay cation in our own town. We had always wondered what the Clarke hotel was like. We were very impressed. Very cozy boutique hotel with big rooms, comfy bed, big bathroom, and a great shower. I would definitely have my guests stay here.

Great hotel…only upgrade needed are thicker windows to keep street noise out, especially due to the college nightlife.

The Clarke is right in the middle of the town if Waukesha in the restaurant, arts and bar district, by the pleasant river walk. We loved the large room and view of the street and trees. The restaurants, the public art in the area is cool. There are murals and guitar sculptures all in the music theme centered in Les Paul. It's a fun place to visit.
