The Knickerbocker on the Lake

When you walk in you are greeted to an intricate lobby, that will remind you of 5 star hotels past. Gold trimming and shining floors every luxury hotel you’ve ever been to cannot compete with. When you walk down the halls you’ll see vintage doors from the 1900s. Every room has the most comfortable bed with linens that will make you never want to leave. If you choose a room with a whirlpool, you will be in an indoor oasis. If you’re thinking about getting a room here, don’t think just do!

Pretty historic hotel! Really friendly and welcoming staff. Very clean and well maintained. Location is pretty, but not as convenient for walking to stuff. It's definitely possible to get a decent lake view, although we didn't. It was terribly loud at night. Every weird and sound can be heard from the neighboring rooms and drunk people were banging on doors and being loud at 3am (which I guess isn't the hotels fault).

My wife and I had a wonderful time here! We usually pick chain hotels, but this place really caught our eye. The location right by the lake is fantastic. We loved our stay so much that we’ve booked two more weekends to come back and stay this summer. The building has a variety of rooms and condos. Some folks live here, while others rent out the condos. I bet that adds a special touch to each unit. The only drawbacks to the unit we rented, #610, were that the ceiling fan in the bedroom was not operational, and it was full of dust. The mattress was very worn out, and the TV in the bedroom was far too large given the size of the room and proximity to the bed. Overall, we enjoyed our room despite those inconveniences. We'll be back this summer!

very clean and super convenient. the price was ridiculously affordable considering the location and amenities. we were there in the cold season and the room was plenty warm. customer service was great. the unique doors and cool art deco details are really fun to explore. just a beautiful building all around. my family ate dinner at the knick and loved it too. 24 hour desk person was nice so no worries. using keys to get into the room was charming. the rooms were very specious. the bed was a wee soft but pretty good and lots of pillows. I'd go back for sure and love to stay a week to explore the cite since the location is kind of perfect. there's parking on street but a lot for guests too. it's not that busy of a street and just outside of the downtown enough to be easier to park, and there

I have been a guest, as well as recommended to family members, at the Knickerbocker several times. This time, I had rented an apt instead and when I checked into the place at 10 PM, it was unacceptable to stay there (inadequate heat in Milwaukee winter, biggest problem)! I called the Knickerbocker and got Jamil on the phone. He was SOOOO wonderful to me, got me booked and assured me I could come over and they'd accommodate me. He was so kind to me. All the concierges were terrific as is Guy, the onsite engineer, who I called about a broken blind and excessive heat in the first room I was assigned! I was immediately given another room in which I stayed for 5 more nights. I chose parking on site, which worked without a hitch. Several nights, there was noise from the next room which was ve
