While this hotel has limited common areas, it does feature a large meeting room with a dance floor. The guest rooms have an understated décor, large flat-screen TVs and thick, comfortable mattresses. This property is located a few blocks from Marquette University and a short drive from the Milwaukee Public Museum.
Smoke free premises. 40 units, some kitchens. 3 stories, interior corridors.
Cons: Elevator stinky, pay for parking, room in need of repairs including the ceiling in the bathroom hanging down and the lamp by the bed only works when it wants to.

Pros: Breakfast spread was decent with bagels, muffins, cereal, fruits, and coffee/juices available.
Cons: The fact that they couldn't find my hotel reservation that I booked through booking.com. The wait that it took to get my reservation taken care of was ridiculous. Front desk person on Saturday night was anything but nice.

Pros: Large desk in the room. Pretty curtains. Free WiFi.
Cons: The doors were locked when I arrived (about 7:40pm), so I had to go across the street to the Hotel to check in, which was fine, but when I got there and was almost done being checked in, the front desk person realized I was staying at the Inn and sent me back across the street to the Inn to finish checking in because the desk there was still manned and the doors shouldn't have been locked yet. So when I walked back across the street to the Inn they decided to comp my parking fee for the night for the trouble, which was nice. My room was on the second floor and I noticed when I walked into the hallway from the stairs that it smelled like dirty feet. When I got to my room I unpacked a couple of things and decided to brush my teeth before my evening out. It was then that I realized that the drain plug was stuck shut and wouldn't drain my toothpaste water. I finished prepping for the night and went back to the front desk to explain what happened. They said they would try to get it fixed or give me a call if I had to move rooms later, since I was on my way to dinner (8pm). At around midnight when I was ready to head back to the hotel, I saw I had two missed calls from the hotel (at 10 pm and 1045 pm). I kept my phone on me and checked for messages several times up until about quarter to ten, since I didn't think it would take that long to check a sink drain and let me know what happened, so after that I stopped paying attention. When I got back to the inn (about midnight), I again had to go to the front desk at the hotel to get my new room. They gave me keys to a different room and said I should let them know when I was out of the old room. I walked back across the street to the inn and had many troubles with the keys letting me in the building. Finally one of them worked (it turns out it was the key to my old room, not the new keys they just gave me) and I went and packed my things, and then took them to my new room. And then could not open that door either.

The front doors of the hotel were locked when we arrived to check in. We had to go across the street to a sister hotel and have the front desk clerk call our hotels front desk clerk to let us in. Our front desk clerk couldn't find my reservation in the computer so she had to call the sister hotel front desk clerk to confirm our room reservation.
Pros: The hotel was located close to the attractions we wanted to visit while in town.
Cons: The continental breakfast was less than desirable.
