The Dubbel Dutch

Wonderful stay!! This will be our first choice next time we come back to Milwaukee. Only TINY complaint is the comforter was a bit thin, not at fluffy, but that’s just a personal preference.

One of the best hotel experiences I have ever had! The facility is so nice and has so much to do in a short walking distance.

Nice location; disappointing in terms of the lack of amenities, furnishings and the Gulden room was not open during the duration of our four day stay. Would not book this property again.

We loved this hotel! It’s so beautiful and extremely quiet. It’s in a great location. We would definitely stay here again!

Convenient check-in, unique stay. Very walkable. Would stay here again if we are in the city.

The room we stayed in was quite large, perfect for overnight girl’s weekend for 4. I wish the cafe/bar downstairs was open so that we had a place to hang after dinner but Taylor’s was just a few blocks away for night cap. The easy parking at the back was convenient but the $25 price tag was too much since I already paid hefty service fee for no lobby service and amenities. Also, there is a strong odor (?dead animal) coming from the basement so better to enter from the front when you can. The lake is very close

Dubbel Dutch was a very disappointing hotel. First, parking. There are 14 rooms and only 7 reserved parking spaces, so be prepared to park on the street. Parking on the street in this part of MKE is extremely difficult. What's strange is that there is a giant lot right next to the hotel, but you can't park there. You'd think the hotel would make arrangements with that lot to provide overflow parking for guests. Second, daylight flooding the room. Our room (306) had a blocked-off upstairs, but obviously they didn't think of covering the windows up there, so there is a ton of light in the morning. The blinds on the main windows were also woefully inadequate. Third, inability to control the temperature very well. There were instructions to override the lockout, but it didn't work. Fourth, the noise. I get that it's a historic property, but the floors creak terribly, and you will hear every guest move in the corridors and stairs. Fifth, the narrow stairwells and no elevator. I'm sure it says somewhere on the website that there is no elevator, but it's not obvious when you book. Hauling your family's luggage up to the 3rd floor is not fun. Sixth, the bed. Sags in the middle. Billed as a King but it's not. If those things matter to you, avoid this place. On the positive side, it's a cool historic building in a beautiful neighborhood, which gives you the ability to walk anywhere downtown and even to the 3rd Ward. I won't be staying there again.

This is a very nice place, unique, and quiet.

Great location for our needs. Easy in/out. Friendly staff
