Get to the mansion right at 4 to get first pick of breakfast time slots. You'll be on a 30 minute or so tour of the home when you arrive. There's a fridge, but it's shared and there won't be much room for your food or drinks. However, there is plenty of complimentary food and libations. And feel free to sit in the living room where classical trap music will greet you. And be ready to meet the "bacon inspector" Ellie, the dog.

The Innkeeper Tom was wonderful, and made us feel so welcomed, and is a remarkable cook!

First off, ignore the reviews and the one stars. If you read it: these people did not even give…read morethis place a chance. The neighborhood is not dangerous. The neighborhood has old Milwaukee feel, like true residential feel. This place was restored roughly 25 years ago. It was originally built in 1886 and condemned to be torn down before they saved it. It took 7 years to really revive it. The grounds, the building, the details, the architecture, and sheer care that went into this place is very evident. It is so beautiful and the hospitality is even beyond. Truly a wonderful experience. I don't stay at bed and breakfast much because I usually opt for the hotels and it's amenities but I must this place definitely has changed my mind---although it is unique. I stayed in Sophie's room and it was very well maintained. The water pressure is actually very good and you can definitely come and go as you please. The breakfasts are delicious. They will use vegetables from the yard for omelets or Andrew's famous French toast w/ "brewed" vanilla. They are wonderful company and extremely cordial and down to earth folks. If I ever come back to Milwaukee---because this was a random spur-of-the-moment trip--I would stay here again. Definitely recommending it to others!

While there are plenty of…read moremodern hotels in the city, the charm and cozy vibes here set it apart with more of a b&b vibe but in the heart of the city. We had easy access to downtown by car, transit, or walking, and even walked to Lakefront Brewery without issue. The lot for parking was small and a little tricky to maneuver, but it was available and there was also street parking if needed. The room was so spacious and with a hot tub, sleep and sitting spaces, wifi, and everything we needed. The breakfast options covered all dietary needs and included a made to order omelette station. We enjoyed our stay here.

The bed was comfortable, the shower/bath is wonderful, and the breakfast was great! We had a nice bonfire in the gazebo, and had a good time hanging out in the loft with a pool table, foosball, video games & more! We definitely recommend Grandma's Cottage and will be back soon!

Husband and I stayed at Grandma's Cottage for one night and wish we had time to stay another! The…read morecottage is the perfect place to get away from the city and relax- we LOVED the outdoor fire pit. It's inside a gazebo so no worry about bugs- and they had music playing to set the mood (some Dean Martin!) The fireplace inside was ready to light, but since we had such great weather, we didn't use it. The jacuzzi tub is a fantastic place to relax after sitting out by the fire. They provided so many touches to make it a fabulous stay-- chocolate, toothbrushes, bubblebath, even flowers! We opted for brunch and received a HUGE tray of food-- bread, muffins, fruit, sausage, cheese, juice. We didn't see many of the animals but heard the rooster :) The history of the building is awesome, too. But I won't share it here- since you should go find out for yourself! In a way, I didn't want to share this review because I want to keep this place all to myself-- but they deserve to get more awesome guests! Go here. You will not regret it.

The only thing worse then the rooms at seeker motel was the service! Please know it because the…read morefront desk did not make me aware that on your check in form and capital letters is the policy of no refunds! They do not have you initial anything by it they just have this policy, which they will only bring up to you once you've requested your money back. When I checked in I literally was there five minutes and came back to the front desk and told them I believed they had bedbugs. I requested a different room and even brought my phone up there with a photograph of the droppings that apparently seem to still be in the bed. The male does Claire did not seem to be bothered or care that I was upset, and pointed out that there was a policy of no refunds that I had already signed upon check-in so he was not going to give me my money back... I then asked him to come to the room so he could see how many bedbugs were in there and he told me they were not allowed to go outside at night time so he refused to luck despite the fact that there were two desk clerks working... After arguing with the clerk who then told me to go ahead and call the police if I wanted to I went back into the room and the female desk clerk ended up calling the room and said I could speak to the owner. Upon her calling I informed her that there weren't live baby cockroaches in the drawers and dead ones on the wall! She didn't really respond but told me to discuss this with the owner I explained my concerns to the owner when I called her and she said basically there was nothing they could do you except for have a canine unit come in the next morning to sniff out the bugs, which of course did nothing for me as I was limited on funds and needed a place to stay that night! I took photographs of everything and explain this to the owner but was quickly dismissed because she said that sometimes people take images off the Internet so there was no way for them to know if it was really their room or not.I took one photograph with one of the signs that they have in all of their rooms so they could be certain it was their room! Upon my checkout are you show the additional photographs to the same desk clerk who had been working The night before and he informed me that if I were to do a refined they would contact me... I explained to him that he had not even ask for my phone number or my contact information so how are they to find me? He told me because they took a picture of my drivers license they would be able to however I explained that I do not live at that Address and his only response was that they would find me... Clearly they were not intending on giving my money back or giving me any sort of good customer service! I understand the room was only $45 however, in Oshkosh its $41 for motel 6 and there are no bedbugs and better customer service! This place should be shut down or have the health department look into it because of how filthy it is!These people should be ashamed of themselves however I doubt they will care or do anything about this even after reading this . Beware of this motel!!!

Location, location, location! The hotel is built within a remodeled mansion and has the basic amenities you want in a hotel - AC, WiFi, modern bathrooms, plenty of outlets - while still maintaining its unique charm. I wish there were more surfaces in our hotel for storing my toiletries in the bathroom, a place to set things in the room (aside from the floor), a desk. This may be unique to our room, all the rooms at the hotel are different. Not an inconvenience, more a note to ownership for an easy usability upgrade. We had an issue with our automatic lock keypad at midnight after walking home from the festival. We texted the number and someone responded right away. There is not a front desk here so quick response to offsite staff is critical. The hotel contact was friendly and drove to us in 15 minutes to resolve the issue. Tips if you stay here - a) get pre-reservations at Agency cocktail bar set inside the hotel if you're into libations (including non alcoholic). It's a small space and super fun time, they book up quickly! b) when they offer you a dedicated parking space right outside the hotel for an additional fee, take it. We found this so convenient to have our car in the same spot for the full stay I enjoyed the stay here and would happily stay here again, particularly with any planned downtown activities.

My husband and I love staying at the Ambassador Hotel whenever we come to Milwaukee, WI. It is a…read moreconvenient location really close to downtown, the Rave, American Family Field, Potawatomi Casino, Marquette University, etc. I like the Ambassador Hotel because it's a ritzy, charming, Art Deco, historical hotel built in the 1920s that feels like it's frozen in time, like we are walking straight into the Great Gatsby/Prohibition area. It has remnants of the past like an old historical antique letter box in the front lobby and an old fashion elevator. If it doesn't scare you, this hotel definitely has a very haunted past! The best feature of the Ambassador Hotel is it's free complimentary shuttle service which will take you anywhere in the downtown Milwaukee area that's in close enough radius of hotel 7:30am - midnight daily so you can leave your car parked in the garage or don't have to drive which is very convenient! Their free shuttle service will make your stay more easy and its really great for going to local attractions or even attending a concert right down the street at the Rave when you don't feel like driving! They also have a bar/dining located in the hotel called Gin Rickey's which offers American food/cocktails. They have a little breakfast cafe that serves coffee and pastries. The hotels rooms are different based on the room you book but most are honestly outdated while some rooms are very updated/modern. I have stayed in different rooms but all of them have been very comfortable! I really like the King bed deluxe room or King bed suite which are more modern/updated! I suggest paying for parking in their parking garage which I believe is now $30 because street parking is very limited or the streets near the hotel are sketchy. My husband and I always have a great stay at the Ambassador Hotel! Its interesting, convenient location, comfortable, nice staff, and affordable rooms for downtown area.

Holy hell. We've…read morebeen sitting here about 19 minutes now, haven't gotten a drink or even eye contact from the bartender. For context, there are two other couples seated at the bar and one table of 6 people being tended to by a server. This bartender is an older man named Scott. Scott looks completely lost. We can see him in the back getting yelled at by a manager, she's asking him what's taking so long and what she can do to help. He's throwing his hands in the air and grumbling. Now he's polishing glassware instead of making eye contact with any of us at the bar-top. One couple at the other end just wants to simply close out, but he won't serve any of us. He looks overwhelmed and ashamed. He should be. You're tending to three couples, one of which wants to LEAVE, and you can't handle that. Finally the manager is here serving us. She's sweet. I feel terrible for her. Fire Scott. The bathrooms smell like yeast infection.

They have a carriage house on site that you can rent on airbnb which would certainly make for a charming stay with such a gorgeous environment laying mere feet away. They host an array of events, from weddings to wine tastings to classes (a gorgeous spot for a wedding with a smaller guest list--this isn't your 400 person wedding sorta spot). For anyone into horticulture or simply looking for ideas to improve your own garden space, you can't help but leave here inspired. An absolute gem in Milwaukee!

The house itself is very architecturally interesting with high molded ceilings and all original fireplaces. It's decorated to look as close to the original as possible. We came as part of #Doorsopenmilwaukee. My daughter was volunteering here later this day. The gardens have an instant peace feeling about them. It's a touch of tranquil in the busy surrounding Downtown. I loved looking at all of the different fauna and flowers. I only wish they had the signs saying what type of plant it was. There are a series of paths, a few fountains, and some nice areas where you can relax. They rent out the gardens for parties and weddings. There was a separate carriage house that has bathrooms and facilities to get dressed for events. I am sorry I didn't know about this place sooner. It's really beautiful!
