Coming back soon
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.

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.

Wonderful staff very willing to accommodate. Someone at the front desk who’s name started with a D w
I requested a bathtub and upper floor and somehow this info was not passed on to the hotel.
I think we were put in a room that had dogs in it and we were both allergic. Also would have liked a tub.

Excellent
The hotel was very clean. It was welcoming to us with a little dog. I liked the way the hotel smelled. I liked how it was centrally located and close to Summerfest. The staff were all very nice and friendly
Do not have any complaints

Great hotel for Summerfest
location was excellent for walking to Summerfest and a short Uber to a Brewers’ game. 3rd ward is a trendy, clean area with lots of good restaurants.
They missed the checkin time of 3pm and we had to wait an hour for our room. A little noisy one of the nights - couldn’t tell if it was from another room or ambient noise from the street.

Good stay
The room was nice especially with the spa tub that allowed my wife to unwind and relax.
We got intoxicated, woke up late for an appointment and didn’t grab my eye glasses. Once I noticed I didn’t have them it was well pass my checkout and for some odd reason the cleaning staff “says” they didn’t find any glasses in the room which I high doubt due to us not ever leaving the room.

Disappointing
good.coffee is delicious. Staff wonderful
dogs barking for one hr 1030 pm to 1130 pm. Pay to sleep comfortably, didnt occur. Dogs should all be on one floor away from gen. customers. Front staff poor when I needed help obtaining an Uber or Taxi. Poor response, no numbers, no cards that helped, no follow up. Told me the Ubers were unreliable and Taxis never responded. Not true! Room was not cleaned first day. Vacuum cleaner never used during entire stay here. Beds unfinished 2nd day. OK 3rd day.

Bad
Valet stole a handgun out of my car. General Manager Gabriel refused to return my calls nor give a care. Speaking with attorney and police on the matter.

Never Again
The pillows were very comfortable. The pillows were soft.
The view was of the roof on 3rd floor of a 9 floor hotel. The price- cud of stayed at a super 8 for 80% less and that would be comparable. Suppose to be king bed and it was a king essential room, whatever that is. No water in room, no coffee pot or coffee. We wanted to order a pizza and was told they were out of dough. 4 drinks cost 68 dollars at the bar. So extremely let down on our stay we waited so long to take from Iowa. Will never stay again or suggest it to anyone else.

it was nice, but overpriced for the amenities.
nice location and property
Roof top bar bought in large amount of non-hotel guest in the evening, making the elevator trips like being in a drunk club setting.

Questionable stain on the curtains...

Great location and nice facility. Be weary of when you stay, noise can be an issue if you want rest.
Location great, facilities were nice. My husband took advantage of the bike services. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash products were nice. Appreciated the robe.
Noise level was terrible. I was awakened by other guests at 3am-4:30am with constant door slamming and loud partying in rooms. Hotel should do something to decrease sound when other guests are rude and let doors slam shut.

Loved the location, rooftop bar was very fun.
For the cost of the room, we thought there could be a few more amenities. Some bottled water would have been nice, mini bar, snacks available. We did go down to the lobby to get something but that is not convenient. There is nothing near the hotel to buy anything like that. The food was very good at the restaurant but you really needed to make a reservation in advance which was hard if you're just trying to grab lunch.
