Homewood Suites By Hilton Milwaukee Downtown
4.4/5102 Reviews

Homewood Suites By Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

Milwaukee|0.32km from city center
My husband and I travel to Milwaukee each year for his birthday. We chose this hotel for its location in proximity to our dinner reservation and the attractions we had planned. There were several negative reviews for this hotel regarding check in, cleanliness, and parking, I'd like to share my feedback to ensure travelers do not deter from staying at this hotel for those reasons. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted by a friendly front desk staff and were able to check in promptly at 4pm. We were able to conveniently park in their side lot while we brought our belongings up to our room. The room was extremely spacious and had beautiful upgrades and convenient amenities such as a full kitchen. The high ceilings really made this room unique. Everything in the room was very clean. There is a parking garage directly across from the hotel which was easy to access and only cost $22.00 a night to park. When staying in downtown MKE it is to be expected that you will pay for parking, and knowing our car was in a covered garage was peace of mind. We choose to Uber to our destinations, so we didn't have to find parking multiple times, and we never had to wait more than a few minutes for our ride to arrive. My only disappointment was there was no happy hour. I was under the impression there was a cocktail hour offered, but it didn't take away from our stay, as there were several liquor stores within walking distance to grab a drink for the room while we got ready. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful with options, fresh, hot, and the egg bites were delicious. The last thing I will add which is huge for me, they have complimentary water, hot water for tea, and coffee in the lobby at all times. I hate forgetting to bring a water bottle for the middle of the night when staying at a hotel, so I loved this feature. I would absolutely stay at this hotel again in the future! Don't let the negative reviews sway your decision. This was a beautiful, newly converted hotel that you should absolutely check out next time you are staying in the area.

The Iron Horse Hotel

The Iron Horse Hotel

Milwaukee|1.54km from city center
As far as hotels go… a unique concept. Some positives, some negatives, of which one – hotel management’s inadequate response to a significant problem – caused me and my wife to checkout after two nights of what was supposed to be a four-night stay. Our room was a junior suite on the top floor and was good-sized and had nice furnishings. We thought the food and service in the restaurants and bar were good (thumbs-up to Kate), the valets and bell staff hustled, and there is interesting artwork on some of the floors. All good things. On the downside: A few days prior to check-in we received an email offering us an early check-in for an extra $25. Not needing early check-in, we arrived at the posted 3pm check-in time. Our room wasn’t ready for another 35-40 minutes. Certainly a mixed message. The front desk staff are definitely hit-or-miss in terms of friendliness. There was no fan in the bathroom to help manage steam from the shower. The bathroom window is opaque but has no shade. As a result, at night, light from the highway adjacent to the hotel comes into the bathroom and continues into the sleeping area through the opaque glass shower wall. While the glass shower wall is opaque, it makes the shower far from private. Not a problem for us, but others might disagree. Also, the freight trains that run on the double tracks immediately adjacent to the hotel are noisy. I don’t want to have to wear a mask and earplugs to get a good night’s sleep in what is supposed to be a luxury hotel. Why the horrible rating and not just a mediocre one? Shortly after 8:00pm on our second night we smelled smoke in our sixth-floor room. Because the smell grew worse, at 8:45 I called the front desk. The person I spoke with explained that on nights when there is no breeze, smoke from the restaurant's “hearth” will drift up the side of the building and into the room. They had a ready explanation. In other words, they knew the smoke could be a problem but have done nothing about it. At 10:30pm I called again and asked to speak to the manager on duty. Unfortunately, the only manager in the building works in food and beverage and isn't that well versed in other aspects of managing the hotel. Regardless, I asked her to come to the room so she could establish for herself that I wasn't exaggerating about the eye-stinging, headache-causing smoky air. She and the restaurant's banquet manager did come upstairs and did acknowledge that the smoke was a problem. For a number of reasons - some the hotel’s, some ours - changing rooms at that hour wasn't a viable option. We were assured by the manager we were speaking with that she would write a detailed email for the hotel manager coming in the next day and that that manager would call us “first the in the morning.” I’m writing this review four mornings later. We are still waiting for that call.
Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee
2.5/594 Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

Milwaukee|2km from city center
Positives: the proximity to places and things to do downtown, the free shuttle to nearby places, parking and breakfast included in the rate. Negatives: 1.) The lack of cleanliness in the hotel: the room had dirt, crumbs and other small things (even a pill of some sort!) that hadn't been swept/vacuumed up on the floor, there was sticky jam on the wall in one spot that hadn't been wiped up. The room didn't smell fresh or clean either. In the hotel hallway on our floor, there were a bunch of Goldfish crackers crushed on the floor and not vacuumed up for a whole day. 2.) The constant, disgusting smell of smoke and ********* in the hotel hallways (this is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel!) that made the air very stuffy, stinky and hard to breathe and made our clothes smell. 3.) The finishings in the room were lacking: there was a door coat hook and handle missing, there were paint touch ups all over certain walls in the room that were not the same color as the rest of the wall 4.) Lack of power outlets to charge phones and other electronic devices: there were very few power outlets available and none in convenient places like on, next to or anywhere near the nightstand and bed so that we could keep our phones next to the bed. 5.) The bed pillows were small and more like flimsy couch throw pillows than regular-size bed pillows. The were thin, unsupportive and made for a very uncomfortable night where I got little sleep due to the uncomfortable pillows and stuffy, smoky air in the hotel room and hallways.

Four Points by Sheraton Milwaukee Airport
3.7/5103 Reviews
The renovations are really nice. The room was great except for the pillows. I found the pillows uncomfortable. I have arthritis and the pillows are extra puffed up forcing my neck and head up so far that I couldn’t tolerate the pain. I ended up using the bath towels as a pillow to keep my neck/head in a normal position to be able to sleep. Everything else was great including the shuttle service from an to the airport.
Knickerbocker on the Lake
4/5101 Reviews
Great location and comfy bed. Room was nice size… we had a junior suite. The decor of room was a little garage sale eclectic. Wall clock did not work. Nice having a full-size kitchen. If you think you see two little girls walking down the hallway holding hands and a little boy riding a big big wheel, don’t worry it’s just your imagination! Surprise no complementary coffee or coffee maker in room. Only place to get coffee is lobby and they charge. Kind of a bummer fora hotel in this day and age, especially for the cost.
Holiday Inn Express Milwaukee Downtown
4.1/5109 Reviews
Great location walking distance to festival grounds, the lake front, downtown, third ward, public market, art museum, and more. A very nice hot breakfast with lots of choices and variety. Super clean and well maintained.
Potawatomi Hotel & Casino
4.1/595 Reviews
1. Breakfast: Canal street cafe in the lobby, completely Western-style! 2. Not suitable for bringing children (casino hotel); 3. The hotel location is not convenient and the surrounding environment is general; the hotel parking lot is large and hotel guests are free! Hotel room soundproof! 4, recommend friends who like ”small gambling”

SpringHill Suites Milwaukee Downtown
4.2/5102 Reviews
I went to Milwaukee for a day & chose to stay at the SpringHill Suites in Milwaukee near the fiserv forum. Few things to bring to your attention. When we checked in, at 11 pm, the staff was incredibly rude. She did not great us, and appeared high off of drugs. All she said to us was “ ID”…”Your card not working that’s on file” and then when given another payment.. “I can’t take your card” & pointed to the card machine. Did not acknowledge what room, the card issue & had a terrible attitude which was a red flag in itself. When we got to the room, the floor was OBVIOUSLY not vacuumed or cleaned. There were pieces of food under the night stand & clear beads from a clothing packet all over the carpet. Bathroom tiles had hair on them. For that reason, I kept my shoes on because it felt so unsanitary. You may ask why I didnt call the front desk, well because I already knew your employee would not care & give me even more of an attitude. Would recommend you go else where, no matter what the other reviews say. Worst service ever. Not clean.
