Top East Town Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Brookfield

10/10 Excellent

"Only stayed one night, so I didn't do a lot at the hotel. Employees at front desk were courteous. Rooms were clean and satisfied my needs hot shower, bed, fridge, and microwave. I did notice one of the back outside entrance handle was broken; otherwise, I have nothing negative to say."

The Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Plaza Hotel has a very historic feel. We loved that the room had a kitchen area and the bed and pillows were so comfortable. The restaurant and outside area were also a nice touch. The one thing we didn’t like was how small the bathroom was. There was no place to put my bathroom items and I hated having to touch the lid of the toilet to flush after each time. It was a tiny bathroom! Overall though it was a convenient location and we slept well."

The Pfister Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely a wonderful experience and such a beautiful hotel! Everyone front the valet, to the Bellhop to the front desk, room service and of course the 23rd floor, Blu. It's marvelous view of the city while having drinks late in the evening with live music playing. I would give this hotel 10 stars off I could."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

8/10 Good

"Didn't like that the hotel charged 40.00 to park your car. My husband had to walk 3 blocks to park are car in a parking lot. And you had to get your car out of parking lot the next morning by 8am. Unbelievable. 189.00 for a hotel room shouldn't charge you 40.00 to park your car."
