The Knickerbocker is historic and located within a mile of museums, bars, and restaurants, and the city is very walkable. There's a restaurant and bar in the hotel My room had a kitchen which was very helpful.
Great location and very helpful front desk personnel. Nice restaurant just off lobby. Many rooms with water views with greats beds. Building is from 1925 with lovely decorative touches. Only complaint is poor water pressure for showering.
Great location.
Near the HOP trolley line.
Great 1920s hotel that has been upgraded.
There are condos in the hotel and a couple of the long term residents were friendly and pleasant.
Great to view the original 1920s structure.
Will probably try to stay again when visiting my brother who lives within walking distance.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent stay!
We had a wonderful experience at this hotel and were extremely satisfied with our stay. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere made our trip even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
Old fashioned vibe, great room very comfortable. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. Restaurant was good with good service. Excellent location for Veteran's park and Discovery Center events, walkable
Really cool older hotel close to downtown. Walking distance to the parks and museums. There is an even a great restaurant attached to it called the Knick with surprisingly great food!
Great place to stay, and staff was very friendly. The only problems we had while staying, was no wash cloths and the hand soap was empty. We used body wash for hand for soap.
The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was perfect for everywhere I needed and wanted to go. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in town!
We had a great stay. The staff was friendly and helpful and the suite was wonderful.

It's a good hotel. It is in a great building and location, and has great responsive staff. We certainly did enjoy the stay. However, there are things we expect from a 4-star hotel that simply weren't present. The phone couldn't call the front desk, the soap and shampoo bottles were empty, we had to ask for a space heater, and the bathtub was coated in a cheap vinyl that while functional, felt like taking a shower in a bouncehouse. We still enjoyed our stay and for the price paid in a major city, it wasn't bad, but management at the Knickerbocker on the Lake needs to do a little more improvement to earn those four stars.
