The downtown location was convenient to everything, parking was a reasonable $15 for the on-property lot, and you're only a couple blocks from The Hop, Milwaukee's light rail trolley. It's an old hotel, but very clean. You should know that there are NO ELEVATORS in the 4 floor hotel, but very accommodating. Also, they're renovating room-by room, so when you book, make sure to ask for a newly renovated room. We didn't know to ask, but they thoughtfully put us in a freshly done room on the first floor. It was a kitchenette with new stainless refrigerator, 24" gas range (also stainless), microwave, cooking utensils.... everything you'd expect in a time share, but in a small (very small) kitchenette. And, the bed was very comfortable.

This hotel property is Old School, with a lot of charm! You still get actual room keys and it has a Guilded age feel. Beds were comfy, and the staff was nice.
