There are a lot of people who look homeless in the area, but they do not bother you, they keep to themselves. The hotel is very good, the room was clean, the staff were very pleasant and helpful, the guests that we met were also pleasant. Close to public transportation and to the beach area.

Beautiful hotel

Beautiful hotel in heart of downtown Waukesha. Beautiful restaurant in hotel but only open certain hours which was disappointing. A little loud at night but since we are right downtown by all the bars, you should expect it.
