"If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay without all the extras, this little motel is a hidden gem. The rooms were spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the owners/staff were friendly and welcoming. While it’s not a luxury resort, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay at a great value. We appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the charm of this quaint motel. We would definitely stay here again!"

Top Milwaukee Hotel Reviews

Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"St. Kates is a must stay. No need to leave the property. The food, art and daily live music provide great options for a staycation!"

The Pfister Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I spent a weekend at the Pfister for a wedding celebration (off property). Our room was impeccably clean and the paragon of modernity: the bathroom had more electronics than our home entertainment system! From our window on the 22nd floor we could see the lake and Summer Fest festivities. Customer service is outstanding across the entire property. The location is excellent - 3 blocks from the lake front which is fabulous. The Art Museum is fantastic! I highly recommend this property!"
