    poor bathroom
    room lock issues

    Top-notch service during my stay.

    The lock on our room was a nightmare! We spent hours trying to get the door open, and it felt ridiculous to seek help from multiple staff members. Additionally, the bathroom left a lot to be desired. it was dirty and poorly maintained, making our stay uncomfortable.

    comfortable bed

    This place was just an appropriate option for a couple of nights in Milwaukee with great value for the money. The bed was very comfortable compared to other budget spots I’ve stayed in. Keep in mind to check your room lighting before unpacking.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I loved the historic charm of my Beautiful Room with details that echoed the 1920s. The on-site restaurant, The Knick, served up some of the best grilled shrimp mango salad I've ever tasted! Plus, the spa services threw in that extra touch of luxury

    would recommend 🥰✨

    the room itself was charming. I loved the city view from my window. it added a nice touch to my evening.

    Great location, just a block from Lake Michigan. Our room had a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Loved the comfy bed and spacious design. The spa provided 90-minute massages that were amazing. Enjoyed dining on the terrace too. The vibe here is a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort.

    historic architecture
    comfortable bed
    excellent location
    staff demeanor
    housekeeping frequency
    temperature control

    The Knickerbocker on the Lake exudes charm with its vintage decor. The historic architecture drew me in immediately. My room had a spacious layout, comfortable bed, and a kitchenette, which made my stay enjoyable. I appreciated the cleanliness. everything felt fresh. The location was ideal, just steps from the lake and close to local parks. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a highlight, with great food and friendly service. However, the front desk staff were a bit unwelcoming during check-in. I faced issues changing the room temperature, making it uncomfortable at times. I wanted to enjoy a bath, but the bathtub spout felt unsafe to touch due to crackling caulk. The lack of regular housekeeping was also noticeable. These issues detracted from an otherwise lovely experience, yet I still enjoyed my stay overall.

    comfortable room
    limited parking
    unhelpful staff
    poor management

    The classic ambiance is captivating with beautifully preserved architecture and an inviting exterior. The spacious room featured a comfortable king bed, enhancing relaxation after exploring the local area. Enjoyed dining on the terrace, which added a lovely touch to our experience. However, the limited parking situation was a hassle upon check-in, compounded by unhelpful staff who displayed a lack of professionalism. Additionally, the management's attitude raised concerns about overall guest service.

    This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, a fitness center, and 24-hour reception. I still remember how staff brought me water at night during my first stay. I highly recommend it and I’m coming back for a business trip.

    Enjoyable Stay with Great Charm and Convenience

    We had a delightful experience! The restaurant offered delicious food, a perfect convenience on busy nights. Rooms were quiet, and we loved the sweet charm of the decor. I recommend opening windows for a refreshing breeze! A tip, register for street parking to avoid fees.
