“Pleasant Stay at Residence Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Went to Milwaukee for the weekend and this place had a great rate. Clean and welcoming staff. Large, quiet rooms. Great breakfast and close to a large TJ Maxx as well as theatres, restaurant and shopping! Will stay here again!

“What a great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Beautiful hotel with a great view of the city and river!!! The room was gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was good. The staff was helpful and friendly. My only mild complaint was a bit of confusion with the method of payment for the parking... ended up paying an $8 ticket for not doing it correctly:( OVERALL, FOR THE RATE WE PAID, THIS PLACE IS AN AMAZING STAY!!! Highly recommend it!!!

“America's Best Residence Inn?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012 via mobile

Marriott's Resience Inn in Downtown Milwaukee has to be their best location in America, because it's that good! There is no aspect of the service here that can be improved. It's the finest I've seen in this brand, and Ms. Doris in the kitchen sets the tone for excellence! Thank you hotel staff for my great experience here!

“Spacious - great value per square foot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

My family has stayed at Residences Inn Milwaukee Downtown about 6 times over past 8 years.
We loved it when Bordors occupied the adjoining retail space. It was nice to end with family day hanging out at the bookstore picking the book for the nightly reading session to the children. Now that Bordors is gone and the space is a Planet Gym with ugly blank street front windows on a grand old department store (criminal, totally kills the retail street). The suite hotel with the tallest hotel room ceilings anywhere and the free breakfast is still a good deal. We would recommend Residences adds a couple more pieces of furniture to the spacious 2 bedroom corner suites like a table for 6 or a sideboard at the entry area or another armchair.

Street noise is constant and can be a problem if you have trouble falling to sleep.

P G, We definitely appreciate our loyal guests. Thank you for your continued business. The best compliment to us is when guests return over and over. We were also sad to see the adjoining Borders bookstore close. Next time you are visiting Milwaukee, please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything else that we can do to make your next stay even more enjoyable.

“Great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This hotel is clean, nice, and centrally located. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable and the gym was one of the best hotel gyms I've used. Breakfast was included and was delicious! What a great deal! It was walking distance to restaurants, bars, museums, the lake, and the market.
