The Knickerbocker on the Lake

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

10/10 Excellent
"I was amazed that our room had a stove, dishes, pots and pans, and a big old walk-in closet. The staff was incredibly friendly. The food options in downtown Milwaukee were a little sparse, but the knick, the attached restaurant, was open until 11:00 p.m. And always helped feed me after a long day at the convention. Next time I'm in Milwaukee, I will look to book here again. "
