Besides the historical beauty and the excellent condition of the amenities of the hotel, was the incredible staff. Precious, who took care of the front desk, was a stand out. She is amazing at making the stay as comfortable as possible with wonderful ideas and suggestions for things to do in the city.

We were extremely happy with our stay at the Knickerbocker. It was perfect for being in the heart of the city, near to Summerfest grounds, beer gardens, and near enough to walk to the Brady Street area to see family there. The room was so spacious and comfortable, as well. And the hotel is lovely with a lot of character. What a wonderful trip!
Spacious bedroom with sitting area
Small dining area and kitchen and lots of windows
Near the lake for Summerfest
Right by Juneau Park Beer Garden and other gardens. Good walking.
