This hotel is in a great location off the downtown scene near the lakefront. The place has lots of character in an older building. The lobby is comfortable and the side room would be great for reading or relaxing. My biggest problem was the noisiness of the hotel. I didn't sleep a wink between the thinness of the walls and...

I will start by saying my wife and usually stay in nice hotels, the Hilton, the Intercontinental, etc. This place looks nice in the lobby and has a good bar. Also there is a decent view of the city from the roof. That would be all the positives for this review. When we arrived, we went to registration and had... More

blackout curtains, and Aveda amenities in bathroom made for a very pleasant, nice stay at this historic hotel. The breakfast - fresh orange juice and home-made waffle, cereal, toast - in the sunny dining room was relaxing and exceeded expectations. Shower was hot with good water pressure. I found the hotel staff to be personable and helpful. Special mention goes... More

We stayed at the Astor for 4 nights in a deluxe queen room. The hotel lobby was impressive. A grand old building. The rooms were what we expected. Older furnishings, not much closet or drawer space, marginal bed (but very nice linens). The walls are somewhat thin and we were bothered by hall noise on the weekend nights. But the... More

It was packed and I was caught off guard thinking the drinks were more expensive. later at... More

My sister and I stayed here for my bachelorette party night. We went out on the East Side of Milwaukee and chose the Astor due to its proximity. Little did we know how accomodating they would be! The hotel shuttle took us to the restaurant for dinner where we met my friends. The hotel bartenders were fabulous. The only reason... More

Very pleasant place to stay. In a great neighborhood downtown.

The Astor came recommended by two separate friends who clearly have not been back to Milwaukee in the 5+ years since college. Based on their description and the pictures I was expecting cute, historic, boutique hotel. Having stayed at other chains in Milwaukee for under $100, the price ($120+) seemed appropriate based on location, etc. The room was small and... More

We had a $119 wedding rate so I was expecting something decent. I price lined the Hyatt downtown the night before for $78. Spending $50 more and going to this hell hole was at the very least a letdown. Based on the lobby I thought it would be a neat hotel. It all goes downhill from there. The hallways are... More
