Top McKinley Beach Hotel Reviews

The Pfister Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel. Better than I expected. Truly luxurious historic hotel, walkable to everything, and street parking was a beeeze. Wish list items would be a hot tub or a tub in the room (I'm not a shower person)!and less weird French onion soup (the lobby cafe was pretty mediocre ) but these are very minor things. Lovely staff, clean room. Beds were firm and functional (never understood why hotels don't use foam toppers), didn't quite understand the difference in room types. We will return!!!"

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Thought everything was great. Parking next door was convenient and access between the two buildings via skywalk handy. Lots of hungry people in the morning, so staff was challenged keeping the coffee pots full. Other than that everything was perfect. With the third ward just three blocks away via river walk, great times had."

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"The receptionist was kind and polite, the room was clean and comfortable, and spacious. My plan included a free breakfast. I really enjoyed delicious, and well prepared meal and a great cup of coffee. It showed me the true caliber of Hyatt Hotels."

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location. Spacious room. Friendly and helpful staff. Classic/vintage charm."

Lakefront Manor MKE - Spacious for groups and steps from beach and downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing for a friend/family get-together of 14 people! It was exactly as described, with extra amenities we didn't expect (extra roll-out cot beds, ironing board, etc). The host was great at communicating check-in instructions and responded quickly to questions. The location was great with plenty of street parking and walking distance from many bars and restaurants. We walked to and from Brady Street one of the nights. I would absolutely stay here again!"

"Communication was great! Beautiful old architecture. Location, location, location is great and safe. You can walk to bars. If you have mobility issues please note that there are stairs up to the home, inside the home, and you might have to park a block or two down from the house. Beds were very comfortable with high end sheets."
