Top East Town Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Quick check in process, kind and courteous staff at front desk at both check in and check out and easy access to parking garage adjacent to hotel property."

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

8/10 Good

"Clean, decent looking hotel. Connects directly to the Baird. Friendly helpful staff. Cons...in room phone didn't work...so when non working toilet didn't work and needed an extra pillow, had to go downstairs to notify them. Also, my key card/fob didn't work about 4 times, yup, another trip downstairs. Priced like a downtown hotel, but slightly off on a 'downtown' hotel. But all in all, very pleasant stay."

Ambassador Hotel Milwaukee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. Free transportation around town, staff was VERY helpful, rooms were old school and comfortable. Nice art deco lobby and cocktail lounge.I would HIGHLY recommend staying at this hotel during your next Milwaukee visit!"

Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown

8/10 Good

"Beautiful building and clean rooms! Very comfortable, however it would be worth the management to rethink their standing contracts with ICE. It really doesn't sit well to continue supporting Hilton when it goes out of its way to facilitate a deeply violent and problematic institution like ICE."

Tru By Hilton Milwaukee Downtown, WI

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean and quiet. For being right off the freeway and by the public market we heard nothing in our room. That's a big plus, not hearing outside noise or fellow hotel guests. Staff very nice, breakfast and coffee perfect. Walked to eat, ubered to a concert all within 5 minutes. Good location."
