Top McKinley Beach Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the location, the breakfast, and evening buffet and drinks."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Staying here was similar to having my own boutique hotel. The house is decorated in an eclectically, fun style where you just say “wow” I get to stay here. We were a family of 6 people staying at the house for a wedding. We had plenty of room - we didn’t use all of the bedrooms. Our young adult children loved having the upstairs to watch TV and play games. We also had family over for dinner one night and cousins over for birthday lunch after the wedding. There was plenty of space in main downstairs area for us all to visit. The location was ideal for walking to the lake daily or walking in the historic district. By having a designated parking area we didn’t worry about street parking - we did street parking in front of the house when it was available on busy 4th of July Weekend.Emily was a wonderful host. I hope I get to stay at her beautiful house on any future trips I have to Milwaukee. Note: there are stairs at both entrances - my mom (80yrs old) needed help going up and down but was able to navigate them on her visits to the house."

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."
