What guests say
8.3 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 157 guest reviews
The Knickerbocker on the Lake earns broadly positive sentiment for its excellent lakeside location, historic charm, and warm staff — making most guests feel well-placed for exploring Milwaukee on foot. However, recurring friction points around parking costs and availability, inconsistent housekeeping on longer stays, and minor maintenance niggles prevent it from being a seamless experience for all.
