Top Riverwalk Plaza Hotel Reviews

The Pfister Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very customer oriented, friendly, and helpful. The only complaint is that the bar Blu did not take more than two credit cards for a very large group. This made payment cumbersome and awkward. Otherwise staff service, especially for catering was impressive."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The property is convenient to everything and the staff was very nice. Definitely worth the money."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Being able to get food late was a huge bonus."

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant/bar was wonderful and the parking made everything easy. Location was great for downtown, Water Street and Brewers Hill and the east side"

The Westin Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Had one little hiccup in our favor with the reservation, but they apologized and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful Anniversary dinner at the restaurant! We also got a complimentary breakfast before checkout. It’s within walking distance to a lot of places. 5 stars for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Tru By Hilton Milwaukee Downtown, WI

8/10 Good

"The staff members who really stood out were Jasmin and Tristan at the desk in the lobby and a big shout as well to Greg, the manager onsite for valet parking. As a travel consultant, Tru typically seems to be in much older buildings. This one could use a refresh in Lobby/common areas and updated bed linens. The breakfast was substantial and the in-house engineer was helpful with my shower issues."

Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and comfortable, bar was great at the end of the night with live music and good drinks. Good location for walking around."

The Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with elements of real character. Actual keys to the doors of the room rather than plastic ones! Real cast iron tubs and classy faucet handles. The location in downtown Milwaukee was just great. I am tempted to spend a couple nights there again when I return to Milwaukee next time"

Hampton Inn & Suites Milwaukee Downtown

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly and hotel was clean. Nothing to write home about but the location was great. The breakfast was pretty picked over when we got down there so that was disappointing but i appreciate the offering anyway. Rooms show some wear but they’re clean and had decent amenities. Solid affordable option for downtown."
