We needed a room in a very sold out night in Milwaukee, and decided to take a chance on a bed & breakfast because it seemed charming.
Knowing that a B&B is usually run by owners on site, my husband and I were mindful to check in as early as we could (6pm), but were greeted so coolly by the hostess upon arrival, I thought we were in the wrong place. Within 15 minutes, I was ready to leave-and should have. The proprietress used every opportunity and moment of our visit, to make us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Commanding us to sit or stand, contradicting or arguing with everything, it was appalling. She complained endlessly about the third party site I had booked on, complained about other guests to us and was outright mean to her spouse in front of us.
We tried to ignore all this, enjoy the ambiance (the room really was pretty), but awoke in the morning to water leaking from the ceiling, right onto us on the bed. When we let her know what was happening, instead of trying to fix it, she blames another guest, in the middle of a full dining room! He “took a shower wrong” and caused this leak, apparently. Meaning, this has happened before and we were rented a room with full knowledge the ceiling leaks.
No apology, no concern for the bed (being leaked on the entire time this is happening).
I have never had someone make me so uncomfortable and feel so unwelcome, anywhere I’ve stayed.
We left tired and started for the drive home; I’m still in shock about the experience.

Such a beautiful place with charm & very clean!! Food was delicious & it's a great location for going to the Pabst Theater! Make sure you go to the front door with the sign in front, & not the side door by the garden when you check in.

Laura Sue and Rick show great pride in the Bed and Breakfast they run!
Our breakfast was wonderful, with great conversation with other guests and our hosts.
The outside garden area was so beautiful and inviting! The perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine…as long as it’s not raining.
The BnB is not far from the Brewers ball park or the downtown area which was very nice!!
We had a very pleasant experience and would stay again!

The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and decorated with amazing detail. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and more than we ever would have expected. This place is definitely worth checking out and a super cool experience to have in our travels.
Please ignore the negative reviews regarding the neighborhood that the mansion is located in. We felt completely safe and had no issues with having our vehicle parked at the property. The people who have commented on the neighborhood being bad clearly have not traveled much outside of small town America. It is what you would expect from being in any city in the United States. Great place, great price, great experience! We would highly recommend it.

The room was super clean and beautifully decorated. The service was perfect and breakfast was extremely delicious. I want to come back again to this same B&B.

Rick and Laura Sue were terrific hosts! What a beautifully restored late Victorian mansion! The breakfast was delicious.

Was very nice, comfy and quaint. In the city near everything, wouldn’t walk the neighborhood. Food was delicious and loved the home and antiques.

We enjoyed our stay and the food was good but we were charged extra for our children. When I reserved it on Hotels.com, it was clear that we were a family of 4. When we stayed at the hotel, I had to pay an extra $30 for each of my children. I believe this is something with Hotels.com and not the B&B, but I would have stayed elsewhere if I had know I would have to pay for each kid.
1.5
The good was the breakfast in the morning, owner Rick was a pure gentleman, and the various antiques in the house. The bad was Laura (opinionated, rude, and thinks pretty highly of herself), 30 minutes to check in, and location is in a sketchy neighborhood.

Great Place, would stay again.

Breakfast was fantastic. The mansion was very beautiful but our room was extremely small and usable as a sleeping space only.

Generally very good stay

Very nice. You can tell they put a lot of work into their home/business. You can also tell they do care about their clients.

This is NOT a Hotel stay. It is guesting in someone's personal home. It is important for prospective patrons to understand this. The couple who own and operate this are as friendly and helpful as one can imagine, but they are not there to be servants so the most important thing is to be respectful of them and their property.
They provide an incredible breakfast and offer several choices. (Trust me you won't get this service at any local diner.) Don't change your requested breakfast time on a whim or throw out crazy demands and expect them to just hop to it because you are the paying customer. They are tremendously accommodating, and if it is an emergency they will work with you but don't take advantage like an entitled tool.
The rooms are smaller and decorated in mansion motif. You may need to share a bathroom. There are three floors and no elevator. Know this going in so you are not surprised. You will be treated in direct proportion as that which you give out. Example: I was respectful, friendly, and congenial and in return enjoyed a nicer experience than in a hotel and cheaper to boot. (Free parking near downtown? Good luck finding THAT elsewhere. They provide it.)
To sum up, staying here is a more personal experience. Act like a jerk and you will be treated with the minimum of professionalism necessary. Act like a mature adult and you will be treated to a better time than you will find in any downtown hotel at twice the cost.

My partner and I had a lovely time here — the hosts were very accommodating to his dietary needs and the breakfast was amazing. Not to mention, the mansion itself is beautifully decorated and well-maintained. I would have stayed longer had I had any reason to be in Milwaukee past our one night. Thank you, Rick and Laura Sue!

The interior of the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. There was alot of dust, broken glass & a peculiar smell throughout. The shower was a danger to get in & out.
The owner & host, Laura Sue was down right rude, nasty, miserable, & condescending the entire stay. She made us both very uncomfortable during our stay. She stated she did not like that we booked thru Expedia & therefore would only give us discounted service. When we mentioned we were there for my husband's birthday, she told us she could not wish him a happy birthday because we booked thru Expedia. Laura Sue would not let her husband/owner speak to us because of this also. She told us she looked into how Expedia billed us & said we were over billed by Expedia.
If we could have received a refund, we would have left immediately!
We also heard gunshots the last 2 nights of our stay.
All the other B&B's were sold out in the area with the exception of Schuster Mansion. Now we understand why. Worst B&B ever!

Funky haunted mansion in the hood. Hosts were great as was breakfast. Mansion is really cool. Just don’t stray from the property at night.

We chose this property due to its proximity to American Family Field and we’re glad we did. The place was clean and comfortable. The hosts were fantastic. I’d be happy to stay there again.

The home was lovely and the hostess/host were delightful. The houses in the area are unkept but don’t let this scare you off. It is safe

The property is beautiful and the host was very welcoming.
The houses around the area are a little questionable but don’t let that scare you off.

This was our first at a Bed & Breakfast and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Laura Sue and Rick were so welcoming. Very personal feel upon check-in and helping us get settled in. The breakfast was amazing! Great location just mere minutes from anything that we wanted to do. Our suite was very inviting and comfortable. The garden is a very relaxing space as well. Definitely worth the trip and we would definitely stay here again!

The 1800's style mansion very unique and beautiful. My girlfriend and I (23 &26), stayed there for a night because we came to see a concert at The Rave down the street. It's only an 8 min walk, very convenient and close. The bedroom we stayed in was Richard's Den, it was so amazing to see! Clean and comfortable. Beautifully designed from it's era. The breakfast in the morning was some of the best food I've tasted, I had crepes with fruit in them, very nice stay.

The owners will treat you different if you book through a third party like orbitz. They are extremely rude (also racist) and made our stay a miserable one. Read the reviews!

I had a fabulous stay recently and would like to share my experience. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by my hosts, Laura Sue and Rick. They invited me into the Victorian era parlor for a brief orientation of the mansion. I was so impressed by the meticulous restoration of the property as well as the attention to detail in its furnishings. It was clear that every aspect was carefully considered, from wall hangings to custom-made curtains and drapes. As for my accommodations, they certainly exceeded expectations and were at a reasonable price. The bed was quite comfortable (and I must note that I am picky!), allowing for a great night’s sleep. The next morning, my hosts prepared a wonderful breakfast of my choice: a ham and egg strata with roasted potatoes, along with the most delicious French toast (Laura Sue’s special recipe) on the side. My hosts were most gracious and sat down with me to discuss the history of the mansion, which is located in the historic Concordia neighborhood. I highly recommend a stay here – as well as “Mollie’s High Tea,” when your hosts, dressed in period costumes, serve an impressive selection of tea varieties, along with savory and sweet treats, and tell stories about the historic property and Victorian traditions. You will not be disappointed with a visit to the Schuster Mansion. In fact, it will be a memorable, if not magical, experience!

The Schuster Mansion was amazing! This more than 100 year old mansion turned Bed and Breakfast is first class in every way. Our room, Prairie Sky, was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The hosts were friendly, engaging, and interesting. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. If you are going to be in Milwaukee plan to stay at the Schuster Mansion.

Poor location, noise, and condition of the suite. Around 2am we were awoken to an argument outside of our window between the neighbors that lasted over 30 minutes. Yes, we were provided ear plugs. At breakfast, which was late when we arrived downstairs due to the owner not sleeping, hearing the same argument we heard, which she said happens often and she went out to yell at them to get off the lawn and overslept. The bed in the suite needs to be updated, and the frame and headboard fixed. Each time you move, the headboard bangs the wall and the frame squeaks, hopefully you aren't someone who moves in bed to experience this and the foot of the bed is inches higher than the head of the bed. The shower curtain in the bathroom had green mold on the interior curtain and yes, we understand this is an older home but the water pressure and hot water are less than adequate. This place is also a fire hazard with surge protectors everywhere, a window air conditioner that when on dims and flickers all lights in the suite. If you are looking for someplace to get a good night of sleep this is not the place.
We have stayed at a few different bed and breakfasts and this was by far the worst.
I posted a similar review on Goolge only to then receive a harassing and blame full reply from the owners "Instead of just coming to to us about all you issues and letting us know, then we look into it with our staff, you choose to tell the world..."

Owner was very helpful with flat tire as we were leaving so offset some of the bluster about unwritten rules we kept managing to violate (no luggage at check in, no dirty dishes in kitchen sink, no seating at breakfast table until presentation was complete). Beautiful home but not walkable to restaurants or attractions.

Beautifully done, inside and gardens. Rick and Laura Sue are wonderful. A great experience, will go back.
