Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown
The property was great. King suite with the 2nd room was perfect for our small family (2 kids). Pool and hot tub met expectations. Drinks + snacks in the evening plus a good breakfast spread. Excellent location. Clean rooms/hotel. Staff was just OK. Minimum expectations, but thats fine with me.
