Top Historic Third Ward Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff and check in was excellent! Super friendly and helpful. Very comfortable bed and room. Convenient location. Would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Milwaukee!"

Ramada by Wyndham Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly upon check in. Parking is an extra $20 which I think is a bit excessive for the area. I didn’t realize I could have just parked on the street for free. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The a/c worked very well. Would recommend if attending a wedding at the clyborn."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"In my opinion the hotel should have a designated smoking area as I noticed there were several smokers in the area. Also, I appreciate that as far as I can recall see no animals as I have severe allergies tosuch. Also, in my opinion the hotel should ensure the bartender is not late as several were waiting for the bar and kitchen to open. Also, the prices of the meals and beverages are reasonable and should not change as if they increase the prices I will stay at a different hotel as their are several on the website. Also, the breakfast buffet was late in opening and the some of the items listed were not on the buffet cart. Also, I would like if they added turkey and or a substitute to pork breakfast sausage."
