Pleasant
Close to venue
Beds were super hard, they put a hold of more than $300 on my card instantly and then tell me it’ll take 3-5 business days to get it back. Also no parking available except for valet ($40/day) or finding a parking ramp.

I stayed with my mom and sisters. We loved the hotel! Loved the location. Friendly staff
I loved the overall feel of the hotel, we had a fabulous view and the location was amazing
My one and only complaint is that the water pressure in the shower was really bad. But that’s it everything else was perfect!

Nice hotel in great location, but lacks some amenities for the price
Beds were extremely comfortable. Rooftop bar was beautiful. Location was excellent.
No coffee or water in the room. Given the cost of the room, having in-room coffee machine is a must have. Parking is valet at $40/day, but there is a parking garage down the street for $25/day.

Exceptional
Loved the location, car service, friendly staff.
There must have been a storage closet or something beside our room because we heard it open and close loudly again and again every morning. Other than that everything about the stay was wonderful

Fabulous
The location...the cleanliness of the facility, and definitely the rooftop. I really enjoyed my time there.
Getting the feeling that we weren't welcomed.

Very comfortable hotel n a great location.
Excellent service
Our Booking.com reservation did not exist in the Kimpton’s system upon our arrival. Not good on a busy Easter weekend. Luckily the front desk was able to accommodate us with 2 rooms on the same floor.

Noce hotel, great location, but needs rooms need to be cleaner.
location, the view from the rooms.
the first day we arrived the bench in the room was very dirty, and the duvet in one of the beds was in vey bad condition. But then they nicely moved us to a better room to the 6th floor, the first room that was on the 8th had a better view. But we had to move.

Great location, decor and hotel vibe were on point. quiet rooms and comfy beds were just what we needed. restaurants in the neighborhood were exactly what we were looking for. Kids loved the pool table in the lobby.

We can’t wait to come back!
Walking distance to food,PRIDE, shopping. LOVE the hotel’s attitude about dogs. Valet service was excellent and the wine/beer hour was a great treat.

Good, but will probably try another hotel next time.
Location and upstairs bar were exceptionally good!
Bathroom shower was impractical. Design meant there was no way to keep surrounding floor dry.
21 March 2022
really hip hotel, well located, loved the rooftop bar!
really nice decor, super clean and friendly staff. well located in the third ward.
only thing I wish was we were able to have adjoining rooms for our group. they were able to give us room next to each other, but not adjoining.

It was a great few days to get away and forget about your troubles for a few days.
Almost everything, the rooms, the staff, happy hour and the roof top bar.
The restaurant was very pricey and the food was was a bit snobby.

Lonely Planet“This 90-room hotel sits in the exquisitely renovated old Pabst Brewery complex. Each of the large chambers has steampunk decor, a kitchenette and free wi-fi. It’s at downtown’s far west edge, about a half-mile walk from sausagey Old World 3rd St and a good 2 miles from the festival grounds.”
Hotel Metro, Milwaukee
New York Times + 1 more“Centrally located is the 1927 art moderne Hotel Metro, another stylishly restored city landmark. It’s walking distance to the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Pfister Hotel, the Milwaukee River and other city landmarks. It’s also close to a stop on The Hop, Milwaukee’s new streetcar system. There is valet parking and the hotel’s French-leaning restaurant Pastiche serves a good breakfast.”

The Iron Horse Hotel, Milwaukee
Frommers + 2 more“The motorcycle-friendly Iron Horse Hotel sits just across the canal from the Harley-Davidson Museum and offers amenities like in-room boot and leather storage, indoor motorcycle parking, and a bike wash. The boutique hotel also includes amenities to make business and leisure travelers feel at home.”
The Pfister Hotel, Milwaukee
Fodors + 1 more“Milwaukee’s grandest old hotel dates from 1893. The lobby’s long, high barrel-vaulted ceiling puts you in a Victorian frame of mind from the moment you step in. Rooms are decorated with a Victorian flavor and some are odd shapes, reflecting the complications of pouring modern amenities into an old structure—but this actually adds to the charm.”

The staff was wonderful. The valet attendant was kind and helpful as well as the check in staff.
