Top Discovery World Hotel Reviews

The Pfister Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you stay in downtown Milwaukee, stay at the Pfizer, nuff said!"

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

8/10 Good

"Great location. Walking distance to theatres, and other venues. We parked at the self park which is attached to the hotel. It was very convenient. The room was nice."

The Marc Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Wonderful location with excellent proximity to the Skywalk!!!"

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel I've stayed at"

Tru By Hilton Milwaukee Downtown, WI

8/10 Good

"★★★★☆ 4/5 Stars | Great Stay, Would Definitely Return! I really enjoyed my stay here and would absolutely book again! The check-in process was smooth, quick, and straightforward. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and my room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. I had two beds and a nice shower. I personally would've preferred a soaking tub, but that wasn't a dealbreaker. I do wish the rooms had microwaves, but there is one available downstairs in the lobby, which was convenient. One of the biggest highlights was the complimentary breakfast! There were tons of options, definitely something for everyone, and the breakfast hours were great. This was a huge plus for me! The lobby was another pleasant surprise. It's spacious and has pool tables, games, computers, printers, and plenty of areas to sit and relax. I didn't even realize how much was available until a couple of days into my stay. I also really enjoyed the outdoor seating area with the fire feature. It was a nice place to sit while waiting for my ride. The location was excellent for my trip. Downtown Milwaukee, the train station, restaurants, and other attractions were easily accessible. The hot water was great, and I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. My only real suggestion would be to have staff check the lobby and common areas a little more frequently to tidy up after guests. Overall, I had a really pleasant experience. The positives definitely outweighed the few things."

The Westin Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"I had 2 rooms booked and they both had damaged headboards in the same manner and spot! What is that from?! Very embarrassed as the host of out-of-towners."

Marriott Milwaukee Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great area walkable to theatre , restaurants and bars"

The Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Plaza rocks my world and is the only place to stay in Milwaukee. Gorgeous art deco details, wonderful room and amenities, and the best staff in the world. These folks will do anything and everything to make your stay exceptional. I love having an actual mini kitchen and table to work at - every room feels like a suite. Plus the on site Plaza Cafe is fabulous for brunch! ❤️"
