This is an aging hotel, so be aware of that. We couldn't find a thermostat in our room, so we had to leave the windows open, which was quite loud. The room's amenities were clean but very dated. I would not have been happy had we paid the normal rate, but we got a deal. The location is lovely, though and the staff is very nice. Perhaps some rooms are more updated than others, so I would ask for one of those if you consider staying here.

Love the Knickerbocker
As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Knickerbocker on the Lake. I love being able to walk to Juneau Park safely to enjoy the out of doors. When visiting in the summer, I always take advantage of the Juneau Park Beer Garden. This visit was the first time I ate at the Knick, the on-site restaurant. I had the best grilled shrimp mango salad.

the hotel was beautiful and a very nice stay. the initial impression from the front desk was terrible. after a six hour drive late in the evening, we waited 20 minutes at the front desk for the receptionist to check in, while she was outside chatting. very let down to the start of our stay.

For the Knickerbocker being an "older" hotel, we thought the room was very nice, clean and quiet. We will consider staying here again when we venture to Milwaukee in the future. Top notch.
