My room was surprisingly large, very clean, and exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was also spacious, new, and had a beautiful glass door shower stall.
Plus, every person I ran into at the front desk (and the breakfast attendant!) was super friendly.

THE best hotel we stayed at. Staff = excellent. Breakfast = excellent. Room = excellent. Not one bad thing to say at all.
Sandy A
1-night trip
10/10
Excellent location! Less than a 10 minute walk to the Public Market in the Historic Third District and a 15 minute walk to The Brat House bar beside the Bucs arena. The Brat House is a bar amongst others on LMKing that provides free shuttles to Brewers games.
Hotel had an excellent complimentary breakfast with coffee, eggs, cereal, hot cakes and so on.
The hotel was a fraction of the price compared to others.
I would stay here again! Comfy beds and quiet.
