Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very good, the doorman and customer service at the desk were excellent. The hotel was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. I think the $36 for overnight parking was high, but other than that the stay was excellent. Everything we wanted to do (Pabst theatre, Usinger's sausage, riverwalk) was within walking distance,"
