“I appreciate how this historic Milwaukee hotel integrates modern amenities with its original 1920s architecture. The inclusion of kitchenettes and spacious suites suits both short and extended stays, while the full-service spa using organic products definitely caught my attention. Its location is a real asset too, putting guests within easy reach of Lake Michigan and downtown attractions.”
