2 adults 5 children. they gave us an extra roll a bed to help things fit. we were there for an event at Fiserve forum that evening, it was easy and safe to get there and back using the Highland parking structure. Was a little bit tricky checking in because of no on-street parking, but one of us sat in the car and check in was quick and there was good off street parking available once we checked in. cool building, large room, comfortable. would visit again.

Great and historic place to stay in Milwaukee. 20/30ish minute walk to many places like Pfizer, Summerfest, Lakefront, Brady Street & Milwaukee Public Market/3rd Ward. My husband and I enjoyed a Staycation here. Very nice to have the kitchen area and roominess of the room! Only downfalls were 1 night we had to park on street because the lot was full and they do have window A/C's- kept room cool but constant background noise.
