Why does JD Rockefeller get the shaft in this town, he's from here! The hotel is on Carnegie St., not sure what ole Andrew did in this town compared to JD. Well anyway.
I stay at various Hotel Intercontinentals often. This is the very best one I've ever stayed at. The lobby is expansive and decorated in a very rich and proper style. There's a library / sitting room off of the lobby that could be in Architectural Digest. The room is all solid wood paneling but the furniture has a certain lightness to it that doesn't make it look like a place to just smoke cigars.
There's just one pretty bad thing about this hotel and that is the location. Or at least what you have to travel through to get there, provided you're not coming from downtown. To get here my navigation sent me through THE roughest neighborhood I've ever seen in my life. I grew up on the North side of Milwaukee on welfare to give you my reference. And this area reset my perception of bad. I was expecting to see Kurt Russel with an eyepatch on.
The staff was very attentive and overall just excellent.
The room was excellent as you'd expect. As good as you can imagine.
