Classic and comfortable
Classic hotel with updates that make it comfortable and beautiful. The Knick Restaurant & Bar was wonderful, too.

A+ customer service
Larissa at the front desk was incredible! I had some trouble with my tv upon checking in and she went above and beyond to resolve the issue and could not have been sweeter while doing so. Overall my whole experience was fantastic but Larissa's customer service was above and beyond. I support giving her a raise :)

One Night Stay
We stayed in a standard king room. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. I loved the old architectural features but it may not be for everyone. We ate at their restaurant next door and breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be back.

2/10 Poor

Truly rhe worst stay ever
The hotel is terribly outdated something reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby. It took three rooms to get it "OK". First room featured dishes in the sink, a deposit in the toilet and no towel service. The second room had garbage in the kitchen, no towel service and an unmade bed. Goldilocks? The final room was habitable. I will nerver, ever stay at this hotel again as long as I live.

6/10 Good

Nice, but lacking in house keeping
Was initially excited do to there being a kitchenette. Unfortunately there was not oven mits to take the baking sheet out of the oven which was annoying. Also house keeping only came to my room once in the 4 night stay. I initially thought wa be cause we slept in the third day. Though we left the next morning at 9am for an event we were in Milwaukee for and the room still had not had house keeping to at least remove garbage. This could of just been unfortunate overlook but i likely will not stay here again after this stay.
