Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown
Room was fantastic and comfortable. Food was meh. We had an afternoon snack, looked at breakfast, and chose to eat elsewhere for the rest of our stay despite happy hour snacks and drinks and breakfast being free. Staff was SUPER WONDERFUL and engaging. 4.5 stars.
