Dubbel Dutch

The outside of the building is nice. The location is good. The stairwell to the third floor is narrow and very hot (there’s no elevator) . Rooms were more rundown than they looked in the picture. The inside of the building is very old and could use updating. We had a huge issue that was Expedia’s fault, and the person at the hotel (who was new) was very nice on the phone. But there was really nothing they could do and we had to have Expedia find us another hotel. I didn’t love that no one is on site and issues had to be handled on the phone.

Agency is a very cool looking cocktail lounge and is very popular so you should make reservations before you travel. Also be aware that on the 2nd floor you will hear the customers in Agency enjoying themselves up thru 11 PM. It didn' get fully quite until about 11:30 PM, so just be aware of that before you book. they are closed Sun, Mon, Tue so not an issue on those nights.

The building was beautiful and the location was great. I was not impressed with the room. It was a basic room, which is fine, but it had nowhere to put your personal belongings. There was a closet and a small wall shelf, but no bureau or dresser. The bathroom was updated, but again, there was no space for any toiletries. The fridge was a small college fridge and it was just sitting on the floor with a Keurig machine sitting on top of it- again no space to put anything. I probably would not choose to stay here again.

This is a self-service hotel and was cute, clean, and comfortable. The bar on the main level was great. One thing to consider—the building is old (and lovely), so it can be somewhat noisy.

The whole experience was telling of my experience in Milwaukee…I came for a triathlon, but was so enamored by the whole city-the architecture, the cleanliness, the parking, the restaurants…my whole long weekend was as pleasurable as possible. I highly recommend the Dubble Dutch AND Milwaukee! Thanks to the staff and the management for a truly great experience. 10/10

Exceptional

This was a unique and fun place to stay! The room was very clean, and it was interesting to see the details both in the room and around the hotel. There are no staff onsite, but they were very responsive and helpful when I called to ask a question. The building is over 100 years old, so you will likely hear other people walking around above you if your room is on the first or second floor. We really enjoyed the cocktail bar downstairs and would recommend getting a reservation. The location was close enough to walk to many things, but out of the way enough that it was quiet at night. I would definitely stay here again!

The property had a cooler vibe around it that any name brand hotel. It is a small true boutique hotel. No real staff on site. You will have to be adventurous in finding amenities close to the hotel as there is no one to ask for advice. Thank goodness for the internet. This hotel is not in the central entertainment/restaurant areas but they are not far. It is very close to the attractions on the lake

Great historic property. Beautiful. The WiFi wasn’t strong enough.

Good communication and detailed information about the property. Room was very clean, bathroom newly renovated and comfortable bed. Will gladly stay here again.

Clean, easy to access, great location and relatively inexpensive for a downtown location

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.

Very clean room, nice bed…I called in for the code, the lady was Very nice and sent the code immediately. Great place to spend the night.

Super conveniently located, easy to access, and great sized room. It is an “invisible service” location so there is no staff on location

Property in a great location, close to everything. Very easy to access property. Property was very comfortable. Would stay again

Business friendly. Perfect for a solo traveler

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!

It was beautiful. I spoke with someone on the phone who was friendly and answered all my questions. There were several places to eat nearby. Wonderful experience overall. The parking was a little confusing & I needed to call for help with my questions, but that was a great experience. Other than that there was nothing I didn't like.

Great location, well maintained, friendly staff
