Wasn’t horrible, but not great…

When we got into our room the bathroom had a dirty wash cloth with makeup all over it. A dirty cup and used water bottle on the counter. There was hair in the sink, on the floor in the bathroom, and on our comforter. I felt like it was very dirty.

The good and bad

I couldn't connect my iPhone to the TV. Followed all the directions and then went to the front desk to ask for help. Front desk gave me a number to call. I waited on hold for 50 minutes. Finally got someone and that person couldn't help me??? He said someone would call me back who could and no one ever called. I wasn't surprised. Long term fixes: I wish you had a fan/vent in the bathroom. Lights in the coffee nook would be great. Otherwise, it's a nice place and Jayden at the front desk was very nice.

Downtown Milwaukee

Only complaint was that the noise from the water running through the sewer line down through the walls from the toilet flushing and the shower draining in the room above us was really loud.

It took forever to get breakfast. Needs more staff. I had asked to get some linen and I never received any. The black guy that worked at the front desk Saturday morning was very rude.
