"Best hotel in Milwaukee!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This was our first time visiting Milwaukee (we flew in from Florida) and we're very impressed! This is a gorgeous hotel with a lot of history. You feel like you have stepped back in time with all the glamour but you also have all the necessities. We were greeted with new glasses of champagne and a friendly welcome at the reception desk. Our bellman, Brian, was superb and we enjoyed interacting with him throughout our stay. He was super friendly and personable. Our room was great and housekeeping was there every single day to clean our room. We enjoyed eating at the Cafe for breakfast and lunch and ate at the steakhouse our last night here, which was superb! Best steaks we have ever had and the manager there is excellent! She is so customer service oriented and so very friendly. Everyone we interacted with here was super friendly and helpful. Such a wonderful experience and place to be!

"Superior"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Every aspect of our hotel stay was excellent. The only problem was the noise. The room next door (the one that had an adjoining door option with our room) had guests who were talking very loudly and woke us at 12 am for several hours. It sounded like women; very thoughtless and rude. If we had known their noise would go on so long, we would have called the front desk. We did not wish to confront them personally. Our room was 1913 on 2/27/25 2/28/25. Just an FYI. Perhaps some sort of signage in each room asking for courteous quiet after 10 pm would help?
