A true Milwaukee gem!!

The staff here is incredible. I can’t say enough about how helpful and welcoming they are. It was a bummer that all the shower body wash and shampoo barely had enough for one shower… the pillows are also in need of an upgrade. Other than that I could not be happier with my stay.

I loved the atmosphere of this place! It's quiet, historic, and it was pleasant. The only real draw back was the window air conditioner, but besides that, staff was friendly and check in was quick, check out quicker. Parking was either free on street or you could pay $20 a night and park in the gated lot the residents and other guests used. My only drawback was there weren't any sewing kits availability, but that's my fault.
