Top McKinley Beach Hotel Reviews

The Pfister Hotel

8/10 Good

"I was surprised that the Pfister does not have any courtesy shuttle at all. I thought it was a full service hotel. I was in Milwaukee attending a conference at a center nearly a mile away. Normally, I don't mind walking, but one day it was pouring down rain sideways, and I got soaked to the skin, despite wearing a rain coat. I ate breakfast in the hotel cafe and was shocked that cafe staff allowed a family in with a huge dog, that was wearing an obviously fake "medical alert dog" vest on. The family members were constantly petting the dog and feeding it from the table. A real medical alert dog is trained to stay on the floor, and would not be getting petted or fed from the table. This dog had it's snout on the table. Another party was seated at the same table after the dog owners left. No deep cleaning of the table was done. Having seen this, I would not eat at the cafe again."

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was not good, but everything else was"

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

"Great house and location"

Cream City Lounge Parking AC Patio Pets Sleeps 11

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms, beds, and bedding were excellent. It was mostly quiet in the neighborhood with a great deck and gas fire pit which warmed us. The kitchen was not too hard to navigate and figure out the appliances. When we needed to contact Chaz and Diamond, they were quick to respond. The bathrooms were clean with thirsty towels. We were in town for a family gathering and it could easily accommodate for a wedding party with several twin beds.Thank you C & D"

Fun, style & comfort Eastside downtown 4 bedroom townhome near attractions

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for a family weekend in Milwaukee and exactly as pictured. The townhome is spacious and very clean, with two large floors, plenty of room and updates throughout. There is ample and easy street parking in front of the townhome, and a quick drive to downtown Milwaukee. The neighborhood is quiet. The host is very communicative and provided easy to follow instructions. There are a lot of stairs - both leading up to the townhome, once you enter, and a spiral staircase (as shown in the pictures), which were challenging for one of our family members with limited mobility but they were able to navigate. And, there are bedrooms on the first floor."

MKE Mansion - Both Wings

8/10 Good

"Overall the property served our party of 20 very well. We enjoyed our time in Milwaukee and will keep this in mind for possible future stays."

Luxury Studio Apt Near Brady St with Balcony and Lake View

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, clean, comfortable and well stocked. Only note is the listing says there is free street parking during the day, but all the street parking I saw was 2 hr parking, so you can't leave your car in one spot the whole day. Bed is comfortable. Great view off the balcony."
