Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel
Spacious room, comfortable bed. Love that when you check in they give you a glass of wine. The bar downstairs is a vibe and stays busy but did not disturb the quietness when I was in my room. Loved the art area in the hotel, I got to meet a local artist. This hotel is located near a lot of restaurants ...

Holiday Inn Express Milwaukee Downtown by IHG
Noise was the only issue. Occupant upstairs clearly heard stomping all the time. Outside noise also loud but it is a busy area near downtown.
