Schuster Mansion Bed & Breakfast

The breakfast was wonderful and Rick and Laura Sue were wonderful. We- including my 17 year old son- tell me this is our new place in Milwaukee!

Friendly and hospitable guests

It was the most comfortable bed and breakfast place i have ever stayed in. The service was impeccable. They treated us as family. Laura Sue and Richard. Had lots of history to tell us about. If you want a conformable place to call home for a night or two and wonderful company and a yummy breakfast stay here

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.

I loved the beauty of the grounds, and I am in love with the style of the home, the breakfast was amazing and the free parking!

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful B&B

The Hosts were wonderful, even after delayed arrival around 330am! Cozy, hospitable, clean, and interesting place!

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!
