I had the occassion to stay at this hotel for one evening. The hotel was once a Gimbel's department store and the cavernous rooms feature 14 foot ceilings. My room overlooked the Milwaukee River with a view of Lake Michigan. Rooms also feature 50" plasma tv's, a well stocked complimentary hot breakfast buffet. The staff was extremely courteous and professional.... more

When in Milwaukee for business this is where I stay whether alone or with the family. The downtown location makes it easy to walk to the beach or children type destinations for the family and nice restaurants when alone. The hotel staff are fantastic--especially Doris--they make you feel welcome. Requests are no problem--repairs are done immediately. Only thing they need... more

The Residence Inn is a beautiful hotel. I booked it on Hotwire for a Friday evening, my rate was $83.16 with all taxes. Where to start here...The rooms are very spacious with high ceilings. We were lucky enough to have a room that faced the river, it was simply gorgeous. The staff was extrememly friendly. Breakfast is continental, we are... more

I spent one night in this hotel in August 2007. Because of Irish Fest, the hotels in Milwaukee were extremely expensive. But when I saw a 3 star hotel on Hotwire pop up for $67, I booked it. I was a bit surprised when I saw it was for a Residence Inn, but it ended up being a great hotel... more

Rooms have soaring ceilings and enormous windows that must be ten feet across by fifteen feet high, at least. Bathrooms were well appointed and very clean. Kitchenette was more than ample,... more

I stayed here one week on business, and quickly cancelled all my future reservations and re-scheduled them for farther away hotels. My main complaints are the parking ($15 a night...which adds up over a weeks time), the terrible pool chemical scent everywhere on the first floor, and the lack of a resteraunt to eat dinner. (The only real option was... more

Have stayed at this hotel as both a short-term and long-term guest and both experiences were excellent. The thing that really sets this hotel apart is the staff. Every person - from the front desk to the housekeeping staff - seems to be extremely customer-focused. The Riverview rooms that are near Wisconsin Avenue have a gorgeous view of the Milwaukee... more

I travel often for business and frequent the Marriott chains when they are available. The Residence Inn happens to be within walking distance, it is a convenient location. Overall, the hotel is very nice, good breakfast selection of hot and cold items- eggs, waffles, breakfast meats, tortillas, croissants, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc. The happy hour snack is also nice,... more
