"Checking in was smooth, very friendly staff. Valet staff was amazing! Super helpful. The building is gorgeous outside. Cobblestone street was adorable addition to the building style. The inside was very clean and quiet. Many seating areas and a bit of entertainment with the TV’s playing the story of Pabst brewery. Beautiful artifacts of the past all around. The staircases. Love. The brick. All of it. The room was very large. Full bathroom, kitchenette and two beds. Spacious, clean, and truly a beautiful room. The tall ceilings and industrial design were really cool. We loved it. We will be staying again."
