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.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was really spacious, which was a big plus—it didn’t feel cramped at all. However, there weren’t enough beddings provided for the number of guests, which was a bit inconvenient. If that gets sorted, it would be a much more comfortable stay overall. And close to the graduation venue at FiserV
