OMG, I have stayed at a lot of places (>100) and this far surpassed any (well there was this one on the east side of milwaukee that I stayed at for a year, but that's another story) and this was better!!!. I'm afraid to say too much good stuff because I will need to stay there again and I want to find a room ;) Art is messy with attention to detail, the screws on the outlet cover plates were all alighned vertical ;)

No proprietors on property. We had to call someone off property to get hangers ( there was only one), more body wash and tissue. We waited hours and I had to call again. The guy seemed annoyed by my request.

Convenient location and historic building.

The room was as pictured, historic and well done building renovation. Check in was a bit confusing as I was not sent code and instructions ahead of time. Did get quick response and assistance when called number on contact card. Room was freezing upon checkin as someone turned over to ac in the dead of winter. Once things warmed up, comfortable. Good location and reasonable price, close to Dame County Airport.

Our overall experience was incredible. They kept us updated and made it super easy to check in. The room was ready, clean, comfortable and safe. Selfishly a Lonely Girl Brewery was right across the street. We got good food and beer. I highly recommend this place for future stays.

Our room was EXACTLY as pictured and absolutely pristine. Very stylish and comfortable! We loved the quaintness of this boutique hotel and the breakfast at the cute coffee shop downstairs was amazing!! The hotel is off the road a bit but within walking distance of some really cute establishments - wine bar, restaurant/pub with rooftop seating, ice cream parlor. We wished we could have stayed two nights!

There are no onsite staff, entry is via lock codes. Be aware that one room (single queen) has a dedicated bathroom that is down the hotel hallway separate from the room. I rented this and it is a little inconvenient, particularly if you need a mid-night bathroom break.
