8/10 Good
"This venue is a little jewel tucked into the downtown area of Milwaukee. Friendly staff, super clean modern casino and the hotel room was first rate. Rooms facing east give panoramic view of the downtown and lake. Free valet parking available to guests. Earlier check in was possible as rooms became available.The only downside was how tight the slots seemed to be in our playing experience."
