I really enjoyed my stay at the Holiday Inn. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly. I will always book a room to Holiday Inn on any travel. Thanks again!
I did not have breakfast on property. The hot tub was broken but was only notified at check in, that was a bummer. I was unable to get water warm enough to take a shower on Sunday around ten am, I’ve never experienced that at a hotel before. I was able to shower without issue the day before. Room was warm and comfortable. Staff was friendly. Location was perfect for visiting friends in the area.
Great room and breakfast, great view of river and trails, friendly, kind and helpful staff.

Had a great stay in Milwaukee, the hotel is in a good location not far from downtown and lots to do around Glendale. Many restaurant options and a few sights to see.. plenty of bus stops nearby.
This location is a short walk away from Sprecher Brewery and Solly's Grille. Both of these are local, historical, family friendly, dining experiences that you can only get in Milwaukee. Being so close to both of these and right off the highway made this Holiday Inn location the optimal spot to stay for a casual trip.
Parking and check-in were fast and easy, room was clean, bathroom was tiny.
When I checked in there were no King rooms left(which is what I had booked) which was fine, but I also paid for the riverview and we didnt get that either...We got a nice view of the air conditioning unit/parking lot.
Was great place to stay, comfortable and close to downtown with free onsite parking. Couldnt have asked for anything more for our quick one night stay. Will be back for future events that require us to be in town.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Outside door continually propped open, seemed a little sketchy with who was hanging around outside, however everyone was respectful and friendly
Check in staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely happy to have us stay there. Loved the patio out back with the fire table to relax at night. Hotel was very clean all over.
