Top McKinley Beach Hotel Reviews

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

"I had absolutely the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER. The cleanliness"

Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and kind and helpful host!"

Lakefront Manor MKE - Spacious for groups and steps from beach and downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience. Would recommend"

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."

Lake Drive Mansion ~ Downtown ~ Art Museum ~ Lakefront

8/10 Good

"Great location and lots of room for our large family."

2 Full Homes on 1 Lot, Sleeps 16, Brady St Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Nice houses. Perfect for our party of 14"

MKE Mansion - Both Wings

8/10 Good

"The home was beautiful and in a great location. It also has excellent parking.Our main concern was that the sleeping arrangements did not match the listing description. We booked the property under the impression that it had 5-6 bedrooms, each with at least one king or queen bed, including one bedroom with two king beds. In reality, there are four bedrooms with a king or queen bed (some with an additional pullout couch), and one of them doesn’t have a door. The fifth bedroom is two twin beds.We asked the host and they were pretty responsive. But the host identified a sixth bedroom connected to another room, but it is a very small space with a futon rather than a traditional bedroom or the queen/king beds listed in the description. Additionally, the bedroom described in the listing as having two king beds does not exist.The house worked well enough for our group, but prospective guests should be aware that the listing’s bedroom configuration is not accurately represented and that there is limited private sleeping space compared to what the description suggests."
