the hotel was beautiful and a very nice stay. the initial impression from the front desk was terrible. after a six hour drive late in the evening, we waited 20 minutes at the front desk for the receptionist to check in, while she was outside chatting. very let down to the start of our stay.

For the Knickerbocker being an "older" hotel, we thought the room was very nice, clean and quiet. We will consider staying here again when we venture to Milwaukee in the future. Top notch.

Pretty good, other than there was a bunch of spiders and webs by the back door in the parking lot. And some of the channels in the tv was out of contract so that was kinda an inconvenience.

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.
