A true Milwaukee gem!!

The staff here is incredible. I can’t say enough about how helpful and welcoming they are. It was a bummer that all the shower body wash and shampoo barely had enough for one shower… the pillows are also in need of an upgrade. Other than that I could not be happier with my stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Surprisingly nice hotel. Front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and plenty of room. The hotel is within walking distance of everything we planned for our trip. Some aspects of the hotel are dated, but adds to the quality of the stay and the theme of the hotel.

Stephanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel option

This was a very nice hotel in a great location near the lake, parks, and the Art Museum. We had a small kitchenette, the bed was very comfortable, plenty of closet space. The bathrooms could use some updating, but it is an old, historic property. The restaurant on property only served breakfast on the weekends, but the bar was open daily. We'd happily stay here again.

Never a disappointment

The Knickerbocker staff is always the best. I was there to relax and they made everything easy and peaceful. I have no complaints. Only praise. I will be back to enjoy the serenity of the Knickerbocker again hopefully sooner rather than later.

Classic and comfortable

Classic hotel with updates that make it comfortable and beautiful. The Knick Restaurant & Bar was wonderful, too.
Betsy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was really spacious, which was a big plus—it didn’t feel cramped at all. However, there weren’t enough beddings provided for the number of guests, which was a bit inconvenient. If that gets sorted, it would be a much more comfortable stay overall. And close to the graduation venue at FiserV
