Yes, it's an old hotel. Yes, its renovation isn't quite complete, but this is a GREAT HOTEL. Its magnificent lobby, elegant public rooms, beautiful elevators, and extremely friendly and abundant staff make this hote an excellent find. The newly renovated rooms, beds, carpet, marble bathroom, thick towels, and furniture are impressive. I got a bargain rate on Priceline, and still... more

I know they have a water park which would be great for families especially in the winter as it is all indoors and in downtown Milwaukee so you could hit a play, a museum, a ballgame, a casino, or dinner all with 5 miles of the hotel. I know you could see the festivals at the lakefront or the shopping... more

You did mention many great activities to do in the city for the summer, may I suggest a few for your next winter getaway! I enjoy the downtown decroations as well as the skating rink at Red Arrow Park on Water Street! I...

I agree with the review in front of me, but add a few things. Hilton HHonors Gold members get breakfast (waffles, hot eggs/bacon, lots of cold items) and evening drinks (weekdays) included in the room rate. We were also given a free pass (for 3) into the waterpark at the waterpark desk - which it was unclear if that is... more

Just came back from Milwaukee, want to do this while it is still fresh in mind: The lobby of the hotel is very grand and beautiful. Very friendly and efficient check in. Every request we made are fulfilled promptly, even above and beyond what we requested. The room we had is recently renovated; with flat screen TV and some new... more

Just to give some context: I am writing this review while I am still staying at the downtown Hilton in Milwaukee. I have accompanied my husband on a trip while he attends a conference here. The first night we checked in we were awakened by jack hammers at 3 a.m. because of renovations. When it did not end I called... more

Management response from

I am sincerely sorry for the mishaps you experienced during your stay. Regarding your comments on our noise during renovation; while we are currently renovating our guest rooms we do not complete any work over night that would in anyway affect the guest’s experience at our property. We do strive to both make every guest happy and to work on...

trip was booked through a natinal agency. no trouble with booking. rooms were reasonably decked out. no fridge or microwave. long distance etween rooms and meeting areas. escalator out of service. no access to vending due to construction--it was only on one floor. pool area only open on weekends. catered foods was ok, but cleanup service was sorely lacking. table... more

I had stayed here a year ago, and had a nice room, it was a "junior suite". This time I decided to bring my wife and daughter, and reserved the same 2 months in advance. When I got the room, it was a standard room. They were unable to put me in the room I reserved, even though they saw... more

Old building, but everything we saw had been recently remodeled. A sign said the entire project would be complete by the end of Oct 2009. This is an old building in an old city. Not much soundproofing inside or out, but that's what you'd expect. They need to work on their room doors; it's impossible to close them quietly, so... more

I appreciate you taking the time to comment on your experience at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center.
