The hotel is considered an independent hotel, so it's more like an air bnb. The location was good for walking to the river, the theater district and plenty of food options. We stayed in the classic room and it was comfortable for the 2 of us. The room was furnished with a bed, 2 chairs, a mini fridge & a kuerig, which was sufficient. The space could've used a small table/desk to make it more comfortable. The parking was reasonable & convenient. We liked the character of the mansion which is why we chose the property.

We had a really enjoyable stay here. The neighborhood is beautiful and filled with great architecture and fun places to eat and drink, very close to the lake. Check in was really easy and we enjoyed having a drink at the lovely bar downstairs. The HVAC was excellent considering the age of the building and bathroom was very nice. Very comfortable bed and the building itself is beautiful and historic. The main reason I’m giving it a 4 instead of 5 is the value for the room. It was pretty tiny and the charge for parking on top of this would make it not a good deal at all. We parked on the street instead with no problem (always found something within a block) and completed the simple online form with the city for three free overnight passes. The room did not have enough cups or coffee pods for a three night stay. Overall, a good experience despite these minor issues. We would definitely stay again, but would probably search for a better deal first.

Dubbel Dutch is a beautifully restored older building on a quiet street a short walk from busy Wisconsin Avenue and Lake Michigan. We chose the hotel because of its proximity to the Milwaukee Art Museum--a 5-minute walk. The hotel retains its charm while being thoroughly updated and comfortable. The amenities were first-rate, and the hotel staff, although not on-site, were responsive and helpful. Easy check-in, easy parking (additional charge, but so convenient), easy checkout. Can't recommend it highly enough!

This small converted mansion house was great for the proximity to Summerfest and scooter availability. Location was most important for this trip to MKE. The hotel had a small restaurant and bar open at 5 pm. We never dined there as we had so many other options. This was a come and go type of hotel for the independent traveler. Parking was convenient too. Definitely would stay again

The wall mounted air conditioner was apparently broken in the room, so they installed a temporary window unit that was very loud and pointed straight at the bed. Between the cold air blowing on us and the intermittent noise of the unit running, it was hard to hear the TV, let alone get to sleep. Being on the first floor, the adjoining night club was also very loud, at least when the AC was not running. Other than that, the room was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the building has a lot of historic character.

There is a bar in the building that is loud until midnight. The parking fee was higher than the site warranted. The sofa couch was not suitable for any over 5' tall. It all depends on the room you get in terms of the experience. I would not stay there again, as it was more costly and had little to recommend it. No microwave in the room. Fridge froze my food overnight, making it useless and uneatable. NOT appropriate if you cannot walk up steps easily. I think a regular hotel room would have offered better service at a more reasonable price.

Booked through Expedia, which buried the details of this being an \"invisible service\" model hotel. We have had one encounter with this type of venue before in Bayfield, WI with a similarly underwhelming experience. Lesson learned, I will do better research next time to make sure I verify this detail in advance. Our preferred option, the St. Kate - which has exceptional service at a similar price and is just a few blocks away - had no availability for the night we needed and led us to seek out another option. The pictures and glowing reviews made this seem like a suitable alternative, but was unfortunately not supported by direct experience. Lack of service aside, the quality of the environment did not meet our expectation as the renovation felt a little thin and superficial rather than well-done.

Terrible Hotel!

Staying at the Dubbel Dutch was one of the worst hotel experiences of my life, and I have traveled extensively. For the price point, I expected a true luxury hotel and this was anything but. First, the three-story building is not ADA compliant and it does not have an elevator, so if you are mobility impaired, you're out of luck. Second, there are no fire escapes so if you're not in one of the few rooms on the first floor and an emergency happens, there's no way people on the second and third floors can escape. Third, there are no employees or staff on site. NONE. They provide a number to call or text with any \"issues\" but only between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm. Fourth, if you have a car and wish to park in their open lot, adjacent to the building, they will charge you $35 even as there are more parking spots than rooms. Fifth, the decor is atrocious...nothing \"lux\" about it, including the underwhelming bathtubs. Sixth, the window unit air conditioning is LOUD, so good luck sleeping. The only positive aspect of the entire experience, other than leaving as quickly as I could, was the mattress. Save some money and give this place a pass.

Never again

Dubbel Dutch was one of the strangest hotel experiences of my life - there was no receptionist or staff anywhere. I needed a different room because the room they gave me was an unnervingly creepy attic room with a staircase inside the room that led to an even creepier storage space that was gated off so that I couldn't even investigate my unique circumstances. There were signs everywhere that said 'Call us if you need anything at all' but the call went to a voice messaging system. I never got a return call. I tried texting per their suggestion and that too went nowhere. I had to sleep with the lights on and heavily medicated. The renovation job on what was surely a grande dame of Milwaukee architecture was so cheap and poorly executed (painting over original woodwork and deciding on a modern aesthetic over a period aesthetic) was terribly executed. No room service, no food. At the last second before I arrived, I was told it would be $35 to park onsite. The parking lot was empty. I have been conned.

Left 2 days early - loud and uncomfortable

We went for the NCAA tournament, and ended up staying only 1 of our 3 nights which was a hit to the pocket book, but it just wasn’t worth it.

The building was old, as most buildings in MKE are, so I’m sure that didn’t help our experience.

The check in process was good and the place was clean.

Our room was above the restaurant and it was so loud. It wasn’t comfortable; and the parking situation was expensive and inconvenient.

Our room was on the second floor and was very large, with a sitting room and separate bedroom. The bathroom was well appointed, with a good sized shower and nice water pressure. Despite hot outdoor temps, the room was nice and cool. The whole place was very clean. Also, we loved the location, with both downtown and the lakefront within easy walking distance.

Exceptional location. They did a very good job with the restoration; it’s a beautiful historic building and the renovations are very nice. That said, it’s NOT a hotel - it’s an Airbnb. There are no dedicated staff on site, no front desk, no housekeeping during the stay, and no additional services offered on the property. The sound bleed between walls and floors is substantial to become uncomfortable during the day and to interrupt sleep significantly during the night. We didn’t have restful nights due to evening events taking place on the first floor throughout our stay. I wish they had clarified the expectations of the type of lodging they are on the Expedia description - we would have known what to expect or chosen a different location to celebrate a romantic getaway.

The property is well located. The rooms and amenities are perfect. It’s not your normal matchbox size hotel room.
My only take is the non- flexibility of the hotel management. I tried to get a late a checkout and paid for it. It was for one extra hour only. I needed more time. I was willing to pay for an extra night just get the extra few hours at the hotel. Nooooo waaaaay. Although the hotel has a lot to offer, I can’t understand their attitude. It’s fine. Lesson learnt. Always book an extra night even if you need a couple more extra hours at this hotel cause you definitely won’t get any help.

Very overpriced. Great old building. Zero staff, “invisible” they call it!! It’s just a room. If it’s not right, you’re outa luck. Only 4 K cups for 2 nights then you’re done. Can’t get more. Creamer was old and funky. No staff. You can’t get more. The mini split heating and cooling is oversized for the room. Blows right on the bed and is in locked mode. I followed the directions to unlock - it didn’t. The problem again is no staff. So it’s your problem. We had to just turn it off. It’s a nice building, not a bad room. But it is not worthy of the price we paid - or close.

This property is NOT a hotel…it’s more an Airbnb…with noisy strangers. Also, one of the reasons I picked it was for the „coffee shop“, which is closed and has been for quite some time.
