Potawatomi Hotel & Casino
"It was very clean and nice. The only thing that was lackluster was the staff. Most of them were not rude but they were not friendly. They seemed like they did not want to be bothered."

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown
"Super friendly staff. We loved the free cocktails and the breakfast. We did not take advantage of the dinner, because we wanted to explore the city food/restaurants. Centrally located, parking on premise that you have to pay for but that was okay. Will stay again."

Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel
"Room - especially bed - was very good. Shower needs some attention. Shower diverter was almost impossible to pull up, and a little soap tray was about to fall off and un-usable. The staff was excellent!! Having a Starbucks in the building was great. We did not try the $15 breakfast buffet."
