The Bottom Line

What We Loved

Ideal location if attending an event at the Fiserv Forum.
The front desk & housekeeping staff were friendly.
The bed was comfortable & on the firmer side, which I prefer. Provided with 4 pillows, per Queen bed, ranging in firmness.
The room had a coffee machine, fridge, 1 robe while lacking slippers, bathroom amenities (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, shower cap)
Spacious gym, located on the 3rd floor, with several rowers, 2 Pelotons, 1 Stairmaster, 1 rower, along with free weight.
We ordered takeout from Craft, the hotel lobby restaurant and it was very good.

What We Didn't Like

Slow response to in-app communication.
Check-in ends at midnight, and due to flight delays, we arrived later than expected. Contacted them before midnight to be checked in. Upon arrival, provided ID & was given room keys.
The hotel did not have a pool.
Only 3 elevators, and after the Celtics v Bucks game, there was a long line to use them.

The Verdict

Booked a 2-night stay to attend the Celtics v Bucks game. Perfect location for quick access to Fiserv Forum.

Nice, new hotel built with NBA players in mind with high ceilings & wide hallways. With a few tweaks to the in-room amenities (add slippers & toiletries) & faster communication, it could be a highly-ranked mid-level hotel in Milwaukee.
