Nice hotel, good food, expensive parking
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/6/10
I visited the hotel on a work trip. I have stayed in Milwaukee many times but wanted to try a different hotel and one with a nice restaurant so I could have room service after a day of traveling. The hotel is downtown so the parking was an issue for me but nothing out of the ordinary if you are used to going to downtown hotels. I usuallly prefer to park in a hotel's parking lot. There is a parking ramp next to the hotel that costs $23 or valet for $30. I parked there and it was a scary parking lot with not very many spots available and easy to get lost in. After finding a spot and making my way to the hotel lobby I went to my room on the 9th floor. When I opened my room there were sheets and pillows on the floor. It seemed to be in the middle of being cleaned so I called the front desk and they quickly sent someone up with a new room key for me.
Once inside my room there was a nice living area with a flat screen tv and a king size bedroom with another flatscreen (which was a little small). Nice modern fixtures and a normal bathroom with no special luxury features. The bed was comfortable with nice clean bedding. I ordered room service. The woman taking the order was very friendly. I ordered Grandma's chicken. I wish I would've asked what else was in the dish. The menu didn't say there were mushrooms and I can't stand mushrooms so that ruined the dish for me. It would've been very good without the mushrooms. I loved the crunchy onions on top and the potatoes. I also ordered a chocolate dessert that was not on the menu and it was amazing!
Overall it was a good stay. The dessert caused me to give it an extra star and would be worth returning for another dessert that great.
