It was a very nice experience. The location is excellent, right in the heart of downtown, making it easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The hotel itself is charming and well-kept, offering a cozy atmosphere with comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. One thing to note is the “free breakfast” advertised—rather than a traditional breakfast buffet, guests receive vouchers. While this was a bit disappointing at first since the amount wasn’t quite enough to cover a full breakfast, I did appreciate that the vouchers could be applied toward any meal at the restaurant. This flexibility was a nice touch, especially for someone who prefers lunch or dinner options. Despite that small drawback, the Clark Hotel provided a pleasant stay, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Waukesha who values location and comfort.

There are a lot of people who look homeless in the area, but they do not bother you, they keep to themselves. The hotel is very good, the room was clean, the staff were very pleasant and helpful, the guests that we met were also pleasant. Close to public transportation and to the beach area.

Rooms are hot and a/c must be set at 60 in order to just be comfortable. Staff and checking person was rude and unfriendly. Building smells like smoke. Front desk phone rings and you can hear it in your room.
Toilet had pee all over it. Not cleaned.
No tissue. Just an empty box.
Stained carpet all over the room
Stained chairs. No idea what all over them but I wouldn’t sit there. Gross 🤮

Make sure to look for your check in email day of stay, so that you can access your keys. Staff at front desk were very pleasant. Coupon for discount food at a local restaurant included every 3-4 days.

Great location, Room was very comfortable. The shower and the bed was the best. We were given a food voucher for three places. Parking was two blocks away. I didn’t move my car from the front we’ll see if I get a ticked. Staff very friendly. Looking forward to staying there again.
