Loved this hotel! There is a parking lot- $20 per night, staff were very friendly and kind, the hotel was very clean, beds were comfortable and the rooms had a nice size fridge, stove And plenty of closet space. The hotel had a historic feel to it with unique doors and architecture. Only slight negative was the bathrooms were on the smaller side. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend his hotel.

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is in a perfect location, friendly staff, and I loved the non-carpeted spacious room with the kitchenette. The only issue I had and I did not like was being sent to the self check-in kiosk in the lobby after waiting in line and then still having to go back to the front desk and wait in line for my key, to give my driver's license, pay for parking, etc. It seemed like I was doing part of the front desk agent's job and not as convenient if you don't get the email link to do it online.

We appreciate many things about this stay. First is the historical beauty of the property, beautiful public spaces and rooms. The location to the downtown and Fiserv Forum brings us back each time. Friendly staff, and onsite food service at the Knick makes for a perfect stay. Separate fee for parking needs to be noted.
