Top East Town Hotel Reviews

Ambassador Hotel Milwaukee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool, art deco style hotel, bar was excellent with good food, wish the café was open later for breakfast. Excellent location."

Dubbel Dutch

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable, and slightly quirky rooms in a cool old building a short walk from everything downtown; the museums, Pabst theatre, 3rd ward, the river...its all within a 15 minute walk. This place is UNSTAFFED, which was okay with us. It would have been nice if the cute bar downstairs had been open, but it wasn't. Appreciated the coffee maker, hair dryer, and on-site paid parking. We reserved parking through SpotHero for way cheaper than what to he hotel asked."

Marriott Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to see a comedian perform at The Riverside Theater. Parking options were valet or several public parking garages/lots right across the street and/or nearby. We happened to be getting married the following day and the desk agents congratulated us and comped us $20 coupons to the onsite restaurant and access to the executive lounge, which was a very kind and pleasant surprise. The property was incredibly nice and clean. It was quiet and we were greeted each time we came and left. Highly recommend!"
