Liked: Staff & service
The staff at the hotel was superb. The room was comfortable, although they might want to check about getting a new bed. One day my room did not get cleaned, but towels were brought up to me. The breakfast is a mess!!!! I didn't go down this morning because I just couldn't face the tables not being cleaned off or cleaned. The floor being dirty. Hot water wasn't hot and tasted like coffee. Just a horrible experience.

Was great place to stay, comfortable and close to downtown with free onsite parking. Couldnt have asked for anything more for our quick one night stay. Will be back for future events that require us to be in town.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel over a weekend for a Brewers game. It was close to the stadium about a 10-minute ride. There's a nice outdoor beer garden within walking distance. The only thing I was disappointed with was I was hoping to use the hot tub and it was quite murky so we passed.

I’ve stayed at this property on more than one occasion since 2018. You can tell that the property care and cleanliness is decreasing. Cigarette butts all over in front of the property. As stated by one of the employees we only make coffee in the morning once it’s gone we’re done for the day which is unlike most Holiday Inn properties. They no longer have lunch or dinner served as an option which is a decline. I like Hoilday Inn properties but I think I will choose somewhere else’s to stay when I visit Milwaukee next time.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Not a very clean place

The room was not very clean. There were long dust/cobweb strings from the ceiling above the bed by the window. The bathroom sink area was definitely not wiped down well. The bath towels had hairs embedded in them. The large mirror had big streaks. The desk area was dusty. Definitely overpriced for the lack of attention.

You could tell the property was quite old, deteriorating and not what the rating of 'excellent' was online. In addition, we had to pay extra for breakfast when making the reservations. On Wednesday of our stay, the sit down breakfast was nice...on Thursday, the breakfast was a low level continental. If we would have known this, we would not have paid extra for the breakfasts

Not worth the money you pay for!!

First, checked in with being told the hotel charges $50 a day for incidentals not $25 like advertised on hotels.com, they did remedy but still a pain. Ice machines never full, hotel run down needing upgrades. Hot tub dirty visible mold. Paid for breakfast, but seriously should have been included given the quality for price. Beds comfortable, but daughter found ants on day of checkout.
