Check in was a breeze and very friendly. The room decor is artsy and relaxing and also features enlarged photographs of local Milwaukee buildings. GREAT soaps and bathroom supplies. Coffee pot and water warmer with teas, coffees, and creamers available. Delicious egg white omelet that was delivered promptly for room service. Excellent location for attending conventions at the Frontier Center. More

Not a bad experience but it has too many flaws for 206.00 night hotel. Afew things were disappointing. The water park was very small, adults forget about it. The room had some fancy clock that required a maintenance person to set it. The toilet had stuff in it when we arrived and there was no sheet or pillow for the... More

My experience here has been FAR LESS THAN DESIRABLE!! Each time that I've stayed, I've experienced some sort of "issue". However, the most recent "issue" has really taken the cake! After checking into my room, I discovered a USED bar of soap in the shower; clearly from the PREVIOUS GUEST. IF housekeeping had, in fact, THOROUGHLY cleaned the shower after... More

I recently stayed downtown Milwaukee for a conference. The Hilton hotel is connected by skyway to the Frontier center which came in handy as it was January. This hotel is an older hotel but is kept up beautifully. The staff was very helpful and the rooms are nicely done. The bedding is great, extremely comfortable and new. Free internet which... More

I stay in this hotel whenever I'm in Milwaukee. I stayed in other Hilton properties around Milwaukee and I find that this one suits me best. They have covered parking which is nice but also expensive. I am travelling for business so I don't pay for anything but if you're paying on your own, parking fee is high. I like... More

I have stayed at this hotel twice for conferences I have attended. Building is located right in downtown and connects to the convection center. You are at the center of everything and within a 15-20 minute walk to some pretty fab restaurants and bars.

I regularly stop at the Hilton in mke on business but have never gotten around to reviewing it! Overall it's a great place. Central location and a big old grand feel. There's a great sense of history within the building that gives it a little more than just the 'typical Hilton'. It's no boutique contemporary parlour but sometimes it's a... More

Our last stay at the Hilton Milwaukee was less than enjoyable, however, the hotel manager, Mr. Jacob Ruck made everything well again on our last stay in December 2011. Our room was on the 24th floor with great views of the city. It was a CLEAN, newly updated, comfortable and spacious room - MUCH better than our previous stay. We... More
