Top Downtown Milwaukee Hotel Reviews

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, very pleasant staff, and very chill atmosphere."

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"For my first stay here, I found it to be a very calm and pleasant experience. The staff were very friendly, patient and helpful, and the view from the windows was great, especially with the holiday lighting at night. The only thing that I wish could change would be the bed mattress. I realize some might like it very cushy, but I prefer a more "solid" bed, one I don't almost slide off of when I sit on the end. But that is just me trying to find something to be picky about, and I would not hesitate to stay here again."
