Great stay for the Brad paisley concert at BMO Pavillion.
Pros:

Very easy to get to, off the interstate. Very easy to walk to dining spots and attractions. Staff was wonderful, answered all questions and even let us borrow some scissors to fix an outfit. Breakfast was great and checkout was easy.

Cons:

Pillows were uncomfortable. A/c was lout and we couldn’t figure out how to work the controls.

Pros:

Good location, easily walkable to public market, restaurants.

Cons:

Valet parking price was pretty high (double the ramp price if we parked ourselves). And apparently, we could have also parked free on the street in front of the hotel overnight. As we weren't familiar with the area we didn't know about these options. We could have save $40 + tip had we known.

Placentero
Pros:

la ubicación y cercanía a los lugares turisticos.
La limpieza de la habitación
Que me dieron opción de hacer late check out sin costo adicional

Cons:

Poca variedad para cenar, sobre todo porque todo cierra y sólo había algunos snacks en el hotel, no había nada saludable.
Siguen sin reembolsarme el cargo "temporal". Dijeron que maximo 5 días hábiles y sigue apareciendo en mi tarjeta.
La recepción no tenía mucha información turistica o no sabía guiar muy bien.

Nice stop over. Good room and breakfast. Expensive parking though.
Pros:

Nice hotel. Smooth check in. Only valet parking at $38 plus tax. There are nearby parking lots which charge $25 for 24 hours so if you have a car parking needs to be considered in your budget. The breakfast was good. Room very nice. Comfortable bed, bathroom really clean and good tv and entertainment options in the room. Nice hotel to stay in downtown. You do need to be able to walk to the water/area of downtown. It’s not on your doorstep.

Discovered this hotel while searching for hotels right outside the convention center and the reviews were very accurate.
Pros:

Discovered this hotel while searching for hotels right outside the convention center and the reviews were very accurate. The room was spacious with working kitchen and modern building. Breakfast was complimentary and had hot items. The walk to the convention center was straightforward. Safe neighborhood with plenty nearby. 😁

Great location, enjoyable stay, excellent breakfast, friendly staff, comfortable bed
Pros:

Friendly staff, held luggage, notification room was ready around noon, clean and comfortable room, clean bathroom.

Cons:

Air condition may have been motion activated as the room would be back up to 72-74 degrees when we would stop back during day and in the morning when we woke up but was cooler when we were awake and in room moving about. This made the room uncomfortable at time and we were adjusting the thermostat frequently trying to be comfortable.

Het was alles wat we nodig hadden na onze vlucht op Chicago.
Pros:

Vriendelijke ontvangst, duidelijke uitleg waar alles te vinden is. Het is op wandelafstand van lake Michigan, wat een absolute troef was voor ons korte verblijf in Milwaukee.

Cons:

Niets!
