"Close to the Harley Davidson Museum and the river. The hotel was sleek, industrial, and edgy, with a nod to the historic Third Ward. Nice decor and finishes. The room was comfortable and well-stocked with snacks and beverages. Friendly, welcoming staff. Valet parking was a must, and well worth it. We'll stay again.2017-07-11"
"This was one of the best hotels we've stayed in. The valet greeted us at the front door, took care of our car, and answered our questions with ease. The front desk clerk was delightful, helpful, and let us check in early. Great meals, and the servers were wonderful. We forgot toothpaste and were able to get some at the front desk. This hotel is a must-stay.2016-07-13"

"Beautiful hotel. The staff was incredibly accommodating and sweet.2019-05-23"
"I had a good night's sleep. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking was pricey. Great experience.2016-07-15"
"We were wowed by the fine architecture. The king bed was comfortable. Decent view of the third ward. Nice Keurig coffee maker. The bathroom was large, and we liked the soap. Check-in was quick, and we were greeted with complimentary glasses of champagne. The breakfast buffet topped off our stay, and had everything we could have wanted. Parking was expensive, but a better option than paying $22 at a garage a block away. I'd definitely stay at this hotel again.2016-05-09"
"Close to Summerfest, and the hotel had a free shuttle. Nice customer service.2015-07-11"

"Good location. This hotel was worth every penny. The lobby was beautiful, the room was wonderful, and there was a great bar with a view. Stay here.2019-07-09"
"We arrived at 2:40, and check-in was at 3 PM. Our room wasn't ready until almost 5 PM, which was completely unacceptable. When I checked for the 5th time, we were offered a room that wasn't on the club floor but with the privileges. Wish they'd offered this at check-in time. The room itself was nice, but the bathroom wasn't that clean.2018-07-08"

"Convenient to the river walk, lakefront, and summer fest grounds. An elegant, older hotel that has been nicely renovated. Excellent service throughout. The higher floors have great views of the lake.2016-07-09"

"Convenient location. The hotel was clean. The check-in clerk was super friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions about things to do. 2016-07-08"
"It was over 90 degrees when we got to the hotel, and the AC in our room wasn't working. It took two calls to the front desk to get someone to come fix it, and it didn't work properly until midnight. Not worth the price or the trouble.2015-09-08"
"Hotel room was clean, and the decor was amazing. The AC didn't work for a while, but the maintenance worker was courteous and fun to talk to. Front desk staff and valets were helpful and friendly throughout my stay. I'll definitely stay again.2015-04-08"

"We were given a handicap room, and the beds weren't queen-sized as expected. Couldn't get the room to a comfortable temperature. The people in the adjoining room were nocturnal and had gatherings each night at 2 AM. Breakfast food wasn't replenished, and the coffee pots were always empty. We used to love this hotel, and were disappointed by the dramatic change of atmosphere.2015-02-17"

"The hotel room was clean and spacious. The bathroom had an odd layout, with the edge of the sink jutting into the shower area; I had to be careful not to bang my hip on it while showering. The lighting was odd, too; some parts of the bathroom were well-lit and others were dimly lit. I appreciated the outdoor smoking patio that had been shoveled and salted. The room service menu was small, but delivery was quick and the food was tasty and hot. Parking was handy and easy.2018-01-18"

"The hotel staff was pleasant, but the room wasn't clean. I dropped something between the beds, and discovered lots of dust when I picked it up. There was hair all over the bathroom, toilet, floor, and shower. The bathtub was full of soap scum. Renovations were underway, but that's no excuse for not cleaning the room.2019-11-02"
