Quaint and lovely
The perfect place to stay while I dropped my son off at EBI. Waukesha is a quaint town, and the Clarke fit in perfectly.

Good choice in Waukesha!
Make sure to look for your check in email day of stay, so that you can access your keys. Staff at front desk were very pleasant. Coupon for discount food at a local restaurant included every 3-4 days.

Beautiful hotel
Beautiful hotel in heart of downtown Waukesha. Beautiful restaurant in hotel but only open certain hours which was disappointing. A little loud at night but since we are right downtown by all the bars, you should expect it.

Quick get away
Great location, Room was very comfortable. The shower and the bed was the best. We were given a food voucher for three places.
Parking was two blocks away. I didn’t move my car from the front we’ll see if I get a ticked.
Staff very friendly. Looking forward to staying there again.

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

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

The hotel was very comfortable. We noted a strong smell of a cleaning agent which required us to change rooms. The staff handled very well. Fortunately there was a cancellation and there was a room available.

Clean, spacious room, beautiful bathroom, good location.
Doesn’t have free breakfast included in stay regardless of what the booking pages say. No on site parking may be difficult for those that have walking/mobility limitations.
