Convenient location for my needs. Fun, classic room with kitchenette. Quiet room facing out back of building. The window air conditioner however was really loud and disturbed sleep. The parking situation caused some anxiety because if you don’t score a place in the hotel pay lot, street parking is hard to find. We didn’t eat at the restaurant this stay.

Perfect place for us coming to town for the USAT Nationals Age group triathlon. We were less than one mile walking distance from the race venue and were able to leave our car parked in the secure parking lot the whole 3 days. The room was very clean, staff was so very helpful, the restaurant below was a surprise. Food was excellent and affordable. This was our 4th time to come to Milwaukee for this race and we wish we had found the Knickerbocker earlier.
