Potawatomi Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to watch the Brewers play baseball Fri-Sun. It was easy to take the shuttle. The staff was super friendly. The rooms were clean. Casino had all the games. We ate in the food court, the servings were big and the food was good. Breakfast in the cafe was convenient and the servings were so big we split the food the next 2 days. All very reasonable and delicious. We played video poker at the sportsbook bar, the bartender was awesome. We would definitely come back here!"

The Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice and informative. The Plaza has a 1920's fell to it. Nice, classic ambiance. The rooms, on the other hand, are very modern and very well done. Comfortable bed and very nice kitchen area (fridge, sink, stove, microwave, coffeemaker and breakfast bar w/stools. Bathroom was very nice and the entire hotel was clean and well done. Attached restaurant was perfect for breakfast or lunch. Would definitely recommend this for a quant, downtown stay."
