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.

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.

Love It!
The hotel originally opened in 1929, and it’s a jewel! If you’re into super modern architecture and all the trimmings, this is not your place. But if you like history and reminiscing about yesterday, this is the best! Room was clean and comfortable! Service was top notch and location is great! I would definitely stay again.
