The Knickerbocker on the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, clean room, close to the lake."

Marriott Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to see a comedian perform at The Riverside Theater. Parking options were valet or several public parking garages/lots right across the street and/or nearby. We happened to be getting married the following day and the desk agents congratulated us and comped us $20 coupons to the onsite restaurant and access to the executive lounge, which was a very kind and pleasant surprise. The property was incredibly nice and clean. It was quiet and we were greeted each time we came and left. Highly recommend!"

Ambassador Hotel Milwaukee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"beds were comfortable and the hotel decor was awesome, inside & outside the building. I was not aware there was no free parking, the cost is $30 as well as a $50 deposit. They also try to get you to join Wyndam rewards or pay for WiFi until you complain to the front desk and they give you an access code to use for free WiFi. Hotel staff is not helpful if you are looking for local things to do or a local map of areas of interest. Michael's restaurant on the next block has very good food at a reasonable price. The decorative elevator doors ae not automatic so it is challenging to get the luggage cart through the door while holding it open. It is nice they have a free shuttle service within 3 miles."

Motel 6 Milwaukee, WI - Glendale

10/10 Excellent

"I've had to stay here now on three different occasions now due to some remodeling I've been getting done at my home and really just to exhale. I work second shift so I'm always on the go and the night workers for 3rd shift are very pleasant, helpful and polite oh and my rooms gotten better because I was getting a bit scared for a minute rolling the dice on that third booking"
