Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here. It is such a cool hotel. We didn't eat at the restaurant but the pizza place was delicious. Nightly music in the bar area. Located in a very walkable area. Would stay there again"

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I'd forever stay at the Drury when visiting Milwaukee! My husband and I visited for a long weekend. The hotel is very conveniently located downtown, we parked at the hotel and pretty much walked everywhere from there (even though when we did drive somewhere, it was SO easy to navigate compared to like, Chicago). Upon arrival, I believe her name was along the lines of Rosalia? but she was very kind and helpful and explained everything very well. The hotel was extremely clean and rooms were quite spacious! The pool and hot tub area was very well kept up with as well. My two favorite aspects of this stay was that I always felt safe and the included breakfast. You have to use your key card to get into certain doors, in the elevator, etc. so I felt very secure! My favorite "fun" aspects was the breakfast included. There were many options including oatmeal, Mediterranean style eggs, fresh tortillas and pancakes, and a waffle maker! There were so many options - although I do with there was possibly another protein options as only breakfast sausage and eggs were available that morning :) Overall, I would highly recommend this stay if you are looking in the downtown area!"

Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Over nice overall, but first we checked into two rooms, one with a broken phone and the other had a broken lock, and we couldn’t get in. So we moved to another set of rooms. Those things worked, and it was great. I would say little things could use some attention: the shower curtain rod seemed like it was being pulled out of the wall, the anchors were coming loose, but not to the point where it was about to fall, but at some point it would become an issue. I saw some things like straw wrappers and little trash things outside the elevator on the floor, and in the day we were there I never saw the floors get swept up. Some of that might just be the short stay we were there, but it could use a little more attention. The pool water was also cloudy in the indoor pool. The outdoor pool wasn’t open, but I wish it was. It looked better. Anyway, that being said, nothing was filthy. Nothing would make me question staying there again. The staff was helpful and welcoming."

Hilton Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful place to stay. Safe and quiet too. The restaurants inside had really amazing food. Parking was a little inconvenient ($40/day for the garage), but at least there was a parking option (I really shouldn't complain, but I didn't know I was going to run into that situation). The staff were very friendly and there was security as well. Very convenient location right downtown too."

The Iron Horse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Ironhorse is located in Walkers Point. Lots of restaurants and bars close by. Brewery and Distilly located almost across the street. Close to Harley Museum and American Familt Field. Very nice patio. We didn't eat at the restaurant because there were so many options close by. Parking can be a problem. Hotel only offers Valet parking. Lot and ramp almost next door are available for about half the price of valet. Check in was excellent. Desk staff was very helpful. Overall great location for what we were doing. We have stayed here a number of times."
