9.4/10 Exceptional! (585 reviews)
The hotel overall was ok. It is conveniently located, but has alot of traffic noise. The bed was very comfortable, however the staff were not very nice. They seemed very inconvenienced with anyone who approached the desk. On two occasions, I wanted ask about local restaurants but the attendant was outside sitting on the curb leaving the lobby unattended. On check-in, we asked if we could have access to our room early. The staff initially said "no, we dont have any rooms ready and I dont want to put pressure on our housekeeping staff". After mentioning we were with a wedding party she suddenly had rooms ready but said we had to pay $50.00. I do not recommend this hotel. If you have a choice, stay somewhere else.

Everything was great. Has a late check in after a Packer game. Clean, well lit, quiet and excellent service from Martin at the front desk. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
