A short guide to Downtown Milwaukee

Downtown Milwaukee’s blue-collar breweries used to define this fictional home of “Laverne and Shirley” and “Happy Days”. Now, the town is just as famous for the Santiago Calatrava-designed Milwaukee Art Museum, an architectural gem, and the Summerfest, an annual lakefront music festival. The Brewers baseball team plays at Miller Park, with sausage races drawing devoted fans.

Residence Inn Milwaukee Downtown by Marriott 2009.10.17
Recommended Trip type: Family "Beautiful room"

Reviewed by Katie of Escanaba on Oct 17, 2009

I did not expect to see an actual full kitchen in our suite. Maybe a half fridge and a microwave, but not a full size fridge and freezer, sink and eating area. It was more than comfortable and perfect for us. I was traveling with 2 younger kids and eating out would have been expensive and a hassle. This way, they had ice cream for their bedtime snack. Having the 24-hour market in the lobby was a stroke of genius. Staff very courteous. Loved our stay.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 12, 2009

Our hotel stay at the Residence Inn Milwaukee Downtown was a really good one. The hotel was very clean, the rooms were very spacious (way beyond the normal room size), it was centrally located right on the river, and the staff was very polite and helpful. The price was a little steep, but in our opinion it was worth it. The meals in the hotel are free. This saved us a lot of money (feeding seven can be a task!). The food was very good, much better than what one would expect from a free meal. Overall, we absolutely loved the stay.

Reviewed by C of Kenohsa on Dec 10, 2008

Convenient location, we had tickets the River Side Theater which happen to be right across the street. The rooms were very nice and large, full kitchen with stove and fridge. Large cathedral ceilings made the room feel very large. My only complaint would be that there is no bar- lounge in this hotel, but you are close to other restaurants and bars in the area. I will defiantly stay at this hotel again.
