The Clarke Hotel

There was hardly any staff. Room cards and some instructions were in a lockbox outside the entrance. Our key cards did not work to enter our room. Had to wait to get new cards brought to us. Parking was two blocks away from the hotel. The next morning we were asked if we wanted our room cleaned. We said yes, but they never did it. Our room window faced another building about six feet away. What a view! The common areas were nicely done, but the overall experience was poor.

Very comfortable beds. Pleasant staff although not always there but worked out fine. A bit noisy bars across street but calmed down around 11

Beautiful hotel in quaint downtown location. Fit our needs perfectly. However, the overnight parking procedure less than convenient.

Bed was comfy. The pillows were good too. And there were many. Room was clean and spacious.

Liked the location, but our hotel room faced the Main Street and we could hear a lot of noise from college kids partying and people doing karaoke. Cool hotel overall and our room (executive king) was very spacious

I enjoyed my stay very much. Lovely property with character! As a solo, female traveler, I was uncomfortable parking on the 3rd floor of a ramp 2+ blocks away when I arrived at the hotel after dark. And the parking ramp's elevator isn't in service after 7:00, as I recall. I'm able bodied so was able to take the flights of stairs but it was rather scary. Then I needed to set up an account with Waukesha municipal parking. So - I loved the hotel; the parking was inconvenient & guests assume some risk if they park/need to retrieve their vehicle after dark from the ramp.

The Clarke Hotel offered a quaint experience in a historic building. We had easy access to downtown Waukesha dining and shopping.

The good: beautiful historic building, clean and quiet rooms that are large and comfortable. Neighborhood has a ton of great shopping and dining options. The bad: multiple rooms, but only one postage stamp sized TV, no matter what we set the a/c to, the room was at least 70 degrees, water temp for shower was SO hard to control. No one available after 6pm. The UGLY: Parking is atrocious! Blocks away and requires you to apply for a parking permit. No spots available anywhere near the hotel for unloading or checking in. We won't stay again.

So much character and the employee that checked us in was so personable. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a very cool and unique hotel in a very nice area! We will be back!
