Traveled to Milwaukee for a weekend with friends to see the Cards/Brewers play. Hotel was interesting with the conversion from a department store. High ceilings gave a sense of space. Stayed in an angled one-bedroom suite (520) which gave you even more space. Room was clean, but couch and chair were a bit worn and uncomfortable. Huge suite, but only... More

Be warned that this is a sketchy neighborhood where auto theft is on the rise. I stayed at this hotel for one month while I was relocating from another city. To save me several hundred dollars in parking during my stay, the hotel arranged for me to park in The Gimbel's lot across the street from the hotel ($205 for... More

I am a Mariott loyalist... This is the second time we have stayed at this property... and will probably stay here again. As others have said, this is in a historic building so the rooms are very large with 15 ft high ceilings and huge windows. The common areas and hallways are all super clean and the Hearth Room where... More

So impressed with this hotel! We stayed the night for a Bachelorette Party and the 1 bedroom suite comfortably fit 5 ladies. The staff was very friendly and the hotel itself is beautiful and although it is historic, it's been updated and is very clean! I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. A few things to... More

Stayed here for a week and enjoyed my stay. The free breakfast was nice, and the ladies who took care of it did a nice job varying it a little bit from day to day. The evening dinner and drinks was nice with a little variety as well. Too bad that Marriott has cut that down from "Monday to Thursday"... More

Traveled to Milwaukee to catch a holiday concert in December. Had stayed several years ago at this Residence Inn and loved it. Got in a little later than I planned and they assured me there was a restaurant next door that provided room service meals, which was perfect and allowed me plenty of time to get ready for the show....

This hotel is in an old department store building: Gimbel's actually started in the Midwest and this was one of their first buildings. Room was spacious, clean and quiet. Staff were very friendly. A full breakfast came with the room. They charge $20 for parking in the hotel's garage -- but they did not have space available. They directed us... More

The hotel is located on the Riverwalk,beautiful view of the water. The inside maintained the old world beauty with modern upgrades. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was good it included wine or beer. It is best to buy the parking package, it is located under the hotel so weather is no problem.

We read the reviews of this property and were convinced to try it. We were not disappointed. We had a 1 bedroom suite overlooking Wisconsin Avenue with the beautiful Milwaukee Art Museum in the distance. Although the weather was very cold and windy, we were within easy walking distance to the Historic Third Ward. We enjoyed lunch at the huge... More
