The Brewhouse Inn & Suites
Such a great spot! Be sure to check out the brew kettles and stained glass window on the second floor. We had no issues finding parking on the street or in the nearby ramp. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.

I found it odd that there was no microwave in my two room suite. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was an average hotel breakfast.

DoubleTree by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown
Staff is super friendly. Location is great for things at the Baird center. Room was clean and building in general is well maintained. Our room was by the elevator so we heard that all night. Thankfully, we brought a sound machine. Parking was valet only. No pool.
