Top Discovery World Hotel Reviews

The Marc Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

8/10 Good

"Great location and nice room. We were told to check in at a kiosk when we arrived, although there was not a single other person in the lobby and the guest attendant was otherwise unoccupied. Then she gave us a key with no instructions on how to navigate its quirkiness. Had to haul all our stuff back down to have her accompany us back to our room for what would have been a simple instruction at check in. We also had to call MPD to register our license plate for street parking, which involved a wait on hold and then trying to figure out an address to give them as we were not in front of any building with an address. Seems like a dashboard plaque would solve this. The rest of our stay was nice, but the check in process was odd."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The property is convenient to everything and the staff was very nice. Definitely worth the money."

Marriott Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean hotel in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. There's the local light rail right in front but you won't hear it even with a room facing the street. Lots of good restaurant options around and the in hotel bar/restaurant is not too bad."

The Westin Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Had one little hiccup in our favor with the reservation, but they apologized and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful Anniversary dinner at the restaurant! We also got a complimentary breakfast before checkout. It’s within walking distance to a lot of places. 5 stars for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Tru By Hilton Milwaukee Downtown, WI

8/10 Good

"The staff members who really stood out were Jasmin and Tristan at the desk in the lobby and a big shout as well to Greg, the manager onsite for valet parking. As a travel consultant, Tru typically seems to be in much older buildings. This one could use a refresh in Lobby/common areas and updated bed linens. The breakfast was substantial and the in-house engineer was helpful with my shower issues."

Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and comfortable, bar was great at the end of the night with live music and good drinks. Good location for walking around."

Residence Inn Milwaukee Downtown by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean and inviting!"

The Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with elements of real character. Actual keys to the doors of the room rather than plastic ones! Real cast iron tubs and classy faucet handles. The location in downtown Milwaukee was just great. I am tempted to spend a couple nights there again when I return to Milwaukee next time"
