Top Milwaukee Hotel Reviews

The Brewhouse Inn & Suites

The Brewhouse Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The room was very quiet--provided a good night's sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Because there was a wedding booked during our stay, getting the car via valet was a problem one morning. The not-complimentary breakfast on Monday (non-weekend) was not very good. The only side dish (among about 5) was cottage cheese. There was no fruit or potatoes."
