Top Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

8/10 Good

"Valet service is a must! Hotel was clean room needed a little updating but nothing major. Overall I would definitely stay here again"

DoubleTree by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We made the last-minute decision to book a room the night before the Milwaukee Brewers Championship Parade, so we didn’t spend much time researching or reading reviews. We definitely lucked out! This place was perfect. Maybe it was the excitement of the Brewers’ big win in the air, but the staff was absolutely incredible! They are what truly made our stay so great. From the valet to the front desk, restaurant staff, and even employees we passed along the way, everyone was so helpful, friendly, pleasant, and accommodating. What stood out even more was that they treated everyone that way, not just my family. The room itself was nice, but honestly, I would stay here again just for the staff. They made that much of an impression on us!"

Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The building itself is historic and very cool. Our room had these incredibly tall ceilings - maybe 14 feet or higher. The room was clean and comfortable. The building was kept very secure with several layers of security requiring the key card - front door, main hallway, then the room. We felt safe, everything was comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. We got a great night's sleep. The parking situation wasn't the best. We parked off site not far away, which was fine. However, the parking spots were SO tight that I couldn't even open the door enough to get out. My husband had to back up, let me get out with all the bags, and then he had to repark. We had to do the same thing when leaving. Fortunately, no one banged up our car, but I don't know how. I think it was a city lot, so not the hotel's fault, but it really is ridiculous. So many people were parked across the lines, and now we know why. I only interacted with two staff members (one at check in, another at check out). Both were extremely friendly and helpful. The woman who checked us in talked to us about food/drink suggestions and things to see while out and about in the city. We appreciated her input which led us to a great meal at the Swinging Door across the street. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others."
