Renaissance Milwaukee West Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"My husband is handicapped and we need a cot or sofa bed. 1st room neither and small. Next I had to ask for bedding three times and when sofa was pulled out. Popcorn flew all over. Maid cleaned it up but forgot to get bedding and shut the sofa up."

𖤓Blue Storefront 2000sqft Arcade, Pooltable, Foosball, State Fair𖤓

"Lots of space for everyone to spread out and do their things. Fun options for just hanging out too—pool table, foosball, board games. Close to great restaurants as well."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Milwaukee West

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very nice and huge!"

Forty Winks Inn LLC

10/10 Excellent

"This little inn is a gem for just the basics: no breakfast but coffee and tea are available in the lobby, along with the daily paper. The room was impeccably clean, the towels were fluffy and the security was the best I’ve ever seen."

4Br Home Near Medical Campus/Zoo/State Fair Park!

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely updated bungalow with plenty of space for a family. The house was clean and well stocked with everything you might need. We appreciated the clear labels on everything, so no hunting around for coffee filters or the correct light switch. The beds were comfy and plenty of towels were provided. The stairs to the primary bedroom and basement are quite steep, which should be noted if anyone in your group has mobility issues. Located in a quiet, walkable neighborhood but convenient to all the fun things Milwaukee has to offer. Communication from management company was quick and responsive. Highly recommended!"
