Unique Experience

I am originally from Milwaukee and had to come home for my buddy's wedding. I booked a room at this hotel, as I am a fan of the art deco style and the amenities seemed very nice. I was not disappointed. The food was one thing I will always remember. My wife and I ordered breakfast in bed every morning, and after the first day, we realized you only need to order one plate and then share it because the helpings were enormous! My mouth is watering thinking of all the excellent food we had. I don't think we ate out but maybe one time when we were staying there. The staff was very friendly and quickly solved any problem we had, and the location is great. I highly recommend this hotel and if I ever get back to WI I will stay here again or at a minimum, stop in for some food and drinks in their cozy bar.
Marquette Parents

We flew out from California to check out Marquette U, which our daughter will be attending in the fall of '07. Only after reading up on the city of Milwaukee and choosing the hotel knowing the area, we decided if our daughter was going to go to college there, then we should stay in the closest hotel to the campus so we too could experience what our daughter would once she moved here. It was not a mistake. The room was spacious, comfortable, the service great, and the shuttle a great money saver. Do yourself a favor and stay here. It's owned by a Marquette alumni.

We had high hopes after reading a review of this renovated Milwaukee landmark. In every aspect of our stay, it fell short of our expectations. First of all, our room was grimey and had a nasty odor. Second, given the neighborhood where this hotel is located, it is seriously in need of a security detail. Third, the service was slow, the employees were rude, and the food/drinks were sub-par. Enough art deco flair to choke a goat, however I would never stay there again.

This Hotel is just, on the outskirts of marquette U.We made 1 mistake in booking a weekend the same weekend as halloween.Student apts across the street had parties until 3am but whattya gonna do. Pottw. Casino is 3 minutes away and viewable from the rooms.Parking was no issue.The Bathroom in our room was just ok. Seemed a bit outdated. The bed was fine nice sized TV.College bars are all over. 5 min.trip into downtown for some good food. Brewery is 10 minutes away.Will probably get something closer to the lake next time just to be able to walk into downtown.
Classic Older Hotel

"This is a lovely older hotel that has been wonderfully restored. As many of the other reviewers have noted, the little touches in the rooms have all been well thought out. Our room was not as quiet as it might have been (after I asked for a quiet room when making reservation) as it was connected to another room where the occupant got a 5 am wake up call - and we could then hear the phone conversations he was having prior to 7 am. But otherwise, a lovely place & space!"
