Great well-maintained 1920s apartment hotel with charming well-run Cafe at the Plaza. Front desk staff was consistently friendly and helpful. Location in Milwaukee's Lower East Side neighborhood is close to Juneau Park, the lakefront, and--via the free HOP light-rail--convenient to downtown. Would definitely stay again.

The Plaza Hotel was such a wonderful surprise. We loved everything about it! We had dined at the restaurant before, and are so happy to now have stayed at the hotel. What a beautiful, historic and well-run property. Our room was so spacious, well appointed and had everything needed for even a much longer stay. They thought of everything!
The location is wonderful as well -easily walkable and street parking was accessible. We loved it and would not stay anywhere else in Milwaukee from here on out.
