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."

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."
