Excellent customer service, beautiful room! This was our second time there and enjoyed the suite this time. We will definitely be back!

The hotel was very nicely renovated and I heard that was done about 5 or 6 years ago. I agreed that everything was spotless, well appointed, and the staff was very accommodating. We had a few issues however. The thermostat read 77 degrees Fahrenheit when we arrived so I set it to 70 at 3 in the afternoon. After returning form dinner and a show hours later it read 75. There was a large diameter exhaust stack outside our bathroom window coming from somewhere like a boiler room or kitchen that ran all night which was bothersome. The coffee machine the next morning had trouble brewing more than a half a mug of strong coffee.

I *love* the Walper! Everything about it is great. From the check in experience (text message to welcome & inform about parking) and the room design, to the amenities nearby… It honestly feels more like an “experience” than a regular hotel stay.
The staff are so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Sahil in the hotel restaurant; he’s suuuuuch a helpful and thoughtful server, we had a great meal there!
I’ll definitely be staying at the Walper any time I am in the K-W area ☺️

The room was spacious and updated. Comfortable bed and pillows. The shower was the best I’ve used!

There should be a much better insulation. Guests could be heard from the top pounding the floor
EXCELLENT hotel and WONDERFUL service
VERY RELAXING pillows
A few touch ups on the ceiling would not hurt
Also: EXCELLENT breakfast. À la carte, NOT junk massive buffet
Am definitely going back, this time with my family
