We traveled to Milwaukee for a friend's wedding, not expecting much else. Turns out that the City has a lot to offer. We arranged our hotel through AARP-Expedia. They must have had the 'big room' leftover, because we got a corner two bedroom suite big enough for a scout troop...at a reasonable price. The building is a renovated Gimbel's/Marshall Field's...

We visit Milwaukee at least once each year (we always come up for Irish Fest and sometimes other events as well). Residence Inn is our choice as a great base. It is super convenient to get to the festival grounds and to other area attractions. Underground hotel parking is secure and once we get there we know the car is... More

Excellent hotel beside the river and about 10 minute walk from Third Ward. Very nice and spacious rooms, free breakfast. 2 minute walk from bus stop so cheap way to/from airport. Third Ward was nearby so after visiting so many breweries, we did not get lost on our way back to the hotel. Good breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon (all... More

Stayed here while in town for business. Room was great. The high ceilings are immediately noticeable. The room seems very large because of this. The immense windows are a nice feature but the outside lights are quite bright. Bed was decent. Had some issues with shower draining but then I realized it was my fault and quickly fixed it. Staff...

Traveled to Milwaukee for a weekend with friends to see the Cards/Brewers play. Hotel was interesting with the conversion from a department store. High ceilings gave a sense of space. Stayed in an angled one-bedroom suite (520) which gave you even more space. Room was clean, but couch and chair were a bit worn and uncomfortable. Huge suite, but only... More

Be warned that this is a sketchy neighborhood where auto theft is on the rise. I stayed at this hotel for one month while I was relocating from another city. To save me several hundred dollars in parking during my stay, the hotel arranged for me to park in The Gimbel's lot across the street from the hotel ($205 for... More

I am a Mariott loyalist... This is the second time we have stayed at this property... and will probably stay here again. As others have said, this is in a historic building so the rooms are very large with 15 ft high ceilings and huge windows. The common areas and hallways are all super clean and the Hearth Room where... More

So impressed with this hotel! We stayed the night for a Bachelorette Party and the 1 bedroom suite comfortably fit 5 ladies. The staff was very friendly and the hotel itself is beautiful and although it is historic, it's been updated and is very clean! I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. A few things to... More

Stayed here for a week and enjoyed my stay. The free breakfast was nice, and the ladies who took care of it did a nice job varying it a little bit from day to day. The evening dinner and drinks was nice with a little variety as well. Too bad that Marriott has cut that down from "Monday to Thursday"... More

Traveled to Milwaukee to catch a holiday concert in December. Had stayed several years ago at this Residence Inn and loved it. Got in a little later than I planned and they assured me there was a restaurant next door that provided room service meals, which was perfect and allowed me plenty of time to get ready for the show....
