Very cool hotel with all the original details and very spacious room. The doors are very loud though, we were woken up multiple times in the middle of the night by people slamming their doors. Overall good accommodations.

I very rarely share reviews, but I loved this property and our stay. I would definitely return and recommend. The building is beautiful. The rooms are spacious. The restaurant attached to the hotel offered excellent happy hour pricing, and great service. The attached spa also offered great service. The neighborhood felt very safe, and we were able to walk to the Summerfest grounds.

Here’s what’s great: beautifully restored art deco property with all needed modern amenities. Spacious room, kitchenette, walk-in closet. Not so great: front desk clerk was gone twice when we needed help. One absence was so long—15 minutes—that the absence made us late for our dinner reservation. This was early in the evening too—not the middle of the night. When we mentioned this problem to the front desk supervisor the next morning during checkout, she couldn’t have cared less. Terrible: we met a friend for a drink a half-block from the hotel. Walking to his car around midnight, he was brutally attacked and robbed by three men who jumped out of a car. He was one of several people attacked in the area that night, according to the police who responded to our 911 call. The Knickerbocker is supposed to be in one of Milwaukee’s nicest neighborhoods. Not so nice or safe that night. Of course we don’t hold the hotel responsible for what happened to our friend, but it should be known that it happened one block away.

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. At the time of our stay, it was the most affordable in the area. However, the parking situation is not great. There is very limited on site parking available. You are expected to find street parking. We got lucky, but I can see this being very difficult.

A few hours after checking into our hotel a live cockroach came out of the wall. The front desk was notified and asked for a new room, the staff mentioned they had no available rooms. I asked the staff to remove the cockroach and check for others. After the cockroach was removed I asked again for a new room or refund. Staff again said there were no available rooms, but mentioned they needed to contact their supervisor for a refund as they could not approve. We were told to wait 10 minutes for manager to arrive. After waiting 15 minutes and no contact from the manager we decided to book a new hotel and leave as we felt the room was unsanitary. Upon leaving and telling staff the manager was already there, but refused to address us or apologize just made a quick glance. I was very kind about the whole situation and even willing to switch rooms, but the fact the manager ignored us irked me. I have not received one call from the manager apologizing or updating me on the refund. I was told through Expedia they refused my refund. I feel like finding live cockroaches in the wall of your hotel room would leave any guest uneasy. Please treat your paying guests better.

I liked this hotel plenty. Nice location. Yes faint food smells. There’s a cooking area in the unit. Have to pay $20 to park and that always drives me crazy. Just charge more for the room upfront. Would consider staying again except for the parking.
