10/10 Excellent

"Everything went very well. The valet parking worked out perfectly. We got an upgrade on our room because our room wasn't ready. Beautiful room. Loved the bar. All was great!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

8/10 Good

"I gave it a 4 because the beds were hard and the pillows were uncomfortable. We had two separate rooms and my family reported the same thing. To be fair we didn’t say anything so I don’t know if the could have rectified it with like an egg crate or something. Everything else was great. We loved the amenities. We were able to watch the game in the lobby and stretch out. Breakfast was good. We played pool which was nice since we didn’t have to spend extra money."
