The Kimpton Journeyman Hotel in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward informed state officials Wednesday that it is laying off 97 employees.

San Francisco-based Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group says temporary layoffs at the Milwaukee hotel at 310 E. Chicago St. began in March and were at the time "expected to last a short time."
