Pros:

I absolutely loved everything about this hotel. This will be a place to stay option for me for forever. This was my birthday trip and I came into the room to a hand written card, and a bottle of champagne which was amazing and made me feel so welcome. This place also was where my fiancé proposed to me so it will hold a very special place in my heart.

Cons:

I have no and things to say.

Girls Birthday weekend
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. The room, the comfortable bed and pillows, the atmosphere. Especially enjoyed The Kitchen. Very cozy and the food was great.
A huge shout out to the front desk, especially Lennox, Nacho, and Fernanda. Upon check in they wear very helpful in suggesting restaurants and other things of interest. Very kind and polite. They stored our luggage while we went out shopping and when we got to our room there was a wonderful birthday surprise….champagne, candy, Saint Kate glasses, and a container filled with yummy things to make a mixed drink. Very thoughtful. We have been here before and were impressed the first time, and we were happy to find things continue to impress.

New Year's Eve celebration in style!
Pros:

My husband and I were gifted a New Year's Eve stay at Saint Kate's. From the check-in with Nacho (offering a warm smile, a friendly face, and a glass of champagne to start our evening) to the help desk person that helped us to use our record player, and the timely service while listening to the excellent live musical performances with cocktails and appetizer; it could not have been a nicer or more romantic stay! I even met the Art Curator by the elevators and had a nice discussion. Our room was cozy, clean and so much fun! Better than expected. Would love to go again, even though it's only 35 minutes away.

Artsy for artsy sake
Pros:

Ok hotel but others better close by. Has no coffee maker in the room, but has a record player! Stupid arty sink in the bathroom feels like it will overflow all the time.

Pros:

The hotel is beautiful. The staff was amazing. You are greeted with a glass of champagne or wine at check in. The room was spacious enough. The bed was comfortable. The Fiserv is right there. You get a parking pass to go in and out the garage. Lots of food choices around. The Studio is nice for brunch. The bar is busy at night. Everyone was in a great mood. I'll stay here every time I visit Milwaukee.
Check in is anytime after 3 and check out is 12p

Keurig is by the elevator. You can make your coffee whenever you feel like it

Cons:

Leaving.

Why are you not staying here?!?
Pros:

Tall ceilings, large windows that flood the room with light during the day. Quiet at night and an easy walk to everything one needs in downtown Milwaukee.
