Stayed here recently while visiting Milwaukee for Summerfest (not super close, but it is walkable...especially after the shows end for the night and the traffic is all crazy). Design is just really neat! Staff were helpful, food at the restaurant was tasty, and the masseuse I had at the hotel spa was absolutely delightful. Would stay here again!
