The Knickerbocker on the Lake

Hotel is centrally located with easy walks to the children’s museum, parks, and coffee shops. Checkin was a breeze and we even got to checkin early which was great because we have a little one. We were also surprised by all the storage space in our room. This will be our go to hotel for our Milwaukee trips.

The Knickerbocker is a lovely building. We stayed in a two bedroom condo for one night. There was a living room, full sized well equipped kitchen, dining room, office, 2 bedrooms (each with a king bed), two bathrooms (one with a tub and one with a shower adjacent to a bedroom). It was a little worn but overall very clean and tended. The set up was perfect for a stay with my daughter and her husband and daughter. My granddaughter had space to run around and there was plenty of room when additional family members stopped in to visit. It was a perfect, idyllic space. The staff was extremely helpful and everything we asked for was delivered.

It's a really unique hotel. A room was larger than expected, everything worked well, and it was peaceful. Because there's no pool there was not a lot of children there. The location was pretty sweet too! Be advised that parking is an additional $20 a day to use their parking lot, and there is very little parking available on the street. We also tried the restaurant which was absolutely fabulous! We had to go back again! We are definitely going to stay here for our next trip to Milwaukee.

We (family of three) stayed in a lovely 2 bedroom unit that was perfect for our needs. We appreciated the spacious rooms and large windows. The Knickerbocker is in an excellent location, in a walkable area, near museums, parks, restaurants, downtown, and the lakefront.

Happy that the room had a sink and stove so was nice to heat up water for the baby. Only complaint was room didn’t have towels at check in or tissues.
