Top Milwaukee Public Library Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very good, the doorman and customer service at the desk were excellent. The hotel was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. I think the $36 for overnight parking was high, but other than that the stay was excellent. Everything we wanted to do (Pabst theatre, Usinger's sausage, riverwalk) was within walking distance,"

Ambassador Hotel Milwaukee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty nice place little pricey but nice!"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very kind. the place was clean and love water in the lobby at any hotel! I have stayed an many many hotels and this was one of the quietest! Even the doors had the easy close so they don't slam when people enter or leave their rooms early in the morning or late at night. The food truck fest outside was great to find on a Wed night."

Hilton Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was seamless! Easy parking, check-in, and navigating to room. Expected room may be dated due to age of hotel, but would’ve thought we were in a brand new hotel. Loved the unique features in the lobby of the original building. Close to venues and restaurants. Friendly staff throughout. Would stay again for sure!"

Potawatomi Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"great location ..."

DoubleTree by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very good experience with staff. All were very helpful and kind."

The Iron Horse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A"

The Trade, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful time here, there’s two restaurants in the building. Every day at 5/5:30pm they make a toast at the bar to the city, they give you a drink token at check in for this. Wonderful atmosphere. They have live music in the lounges sometimes so ask about that for your stay! We were surprised that during our entire stay, our room was not looked in on, no refresh of towels or robes, or toilet paper, no refills on the other amenities such as water or clean glassware to use. The view is great, just a city view. Great location and within walking distance to the river walk, to museums, to pavilions or concert venues, or arenas!"

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated the luggage holding and shuttle services. Free breakfast was a standard continental type breakfast."
