It's a luxurious getaway in the heart of Milwaukee.
Pros:

Impeccable renovation of the old section of the hotel. 5 star rating for
friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Constant attention to cleanliness and presentation of the common areas. Room was quiet, comfortable bed. Full breakfast in the 23rd floor club lounge. Clean pool with spectacular view of the lake and city. Walking distance to the lake, the museum, and many restaurants.

Cons:

Only worry was the shower floor being slippery.
