"Nice"

The Westin Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Very Clean room, The food was s little pricy but delicious. Valet $50 per day , but can park right across the street for $32 (2) days. Breakfast is not included. Was given a complementary bottle of water. Lots of restaurants , shopping and close the lakefront attractions and Summerfest ( Brewers won the World Series !!) I would recommend"

Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The building itself is historic and very cool. Our room had these incredibly tall ceilings - maybe 14 feet or higher. The room was clean and comfortable. The building was kept very secure with several layers of security requiring the key card - front door, main hallway, then the room. We felt safe, everything was comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. We got a great night's sleep. The parking situation wasn't the best. We parked off site not far away, which was fine. However, the parking spots were SO tight that I couldn't even open the door enough to get out. My husband had to back up, let me get out with all the bags, and then he had to repark. We had to do the same thing when leaving. Fortunately, no one banged up our car, but I don't know how. I think it was a city lot, so not the hotel's fault, but it really is ridiculous. So many people were parked across the lines, and now we know why. I only interacted with two staff members (one at check in, another at check out). Both were extremely friendly and helpful. The woman who checked us in talked to us about food/drink suggestions and things to see while out and about in the city. We appreciated her input which led us to a great meal at the Swinging Door across the street. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others."

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable, and slightly quirky rooms in a cool old building a short walk from everything downtown; the museums, Pabst theatre, 3rd ward, the river...its all within a 15 minute walk. This place is UNSTAFFED, which was okay with us. It would have been nice if the cute bar downstairs had been open, but it wasn't. Appreciated the coffee maker, hair dryer, and on-site paid parking. We reserved parking through SpotHero for way cheaper than what to he hotel asked."

Marriott Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to see a comedian perform at The Riverside Theater. Parking options were valet or several public parking garages/lots right across the street and/or nearby. We happened to be getting married the following day and the desk agents congratulated us and comped us $20 coupons to the onsite restaurant and access to the executive lounge, which was a very kind and pleasant surprise. The property was incredibly nice and clean. It was quiet and we were greeted each time we came and left. Highly recommend!"
