Top McKinley Beach Hotel Reviews

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Just what we needed for our stay. Great Location."

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out, the staff at the property were super courteous, helpful and just plain nice to talk to! My room was comfortable, had plenty of pillows and the temperature controls were easy to operate (I like it COLD). The parking garage shares an entrance to the hotel, which was perfect. The room was quiet, the shower head had good pressure and the elevators were quick (we were on the 10th floor). The is a Starbuck's in the lobby, which was great for a no-fuss morning nosh. I will definitely stay here again, as I plan to make this my primary hotel while on business in Milwaukee."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

8/10 Good

"Genuinely confused by all the bad reviews of this property because we thought it was just fine! Is it the Four Seasons? Nope. But it was clean, cool on a hot summers day, and all the staff we interacted with were incredibly kind and helpful. Not in the greatest neighborhood but also not as unsafe as people are whining about in other reviews. Overall a decent place to stay on a budget near downtown Milwaukee."

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."

Lake Drive Mansion ~ Downtown ~ Art Museum ~ Lakefront

10/10 Excellent

"Very family-friendly property in a beautiful neighborhood. It is easy walking distance to many downtown Milwaukee attractions. The host is very easy to work with and was super responsive to any questions we had. We had a great stay with our 3-generation family over a long July 4th weekend."
