Had a blast, my favorite place to stay in Milwaukee !
Pros:

Our room was lovely, plenty of room to sleep and to hang out. The small sitting room that could be closed off from the sleeping area is perfect for us as I tend to get up hours before my husband.

Cons:

My only wish is that the St Kate had a car or shuttle to the Fiserv Arena .....we were surrounded by people all going to the Eric Clapton concert, we are a half mile away from the venue and we are all scrambling for ubers ect,,,walking back to the hotel from the concert is doable,,,but is it really a safe situation for people who are 65 to 75 years old??
