I was very pleased with Holiay Inn downtown Milwaukee. All the staff from the woman with long gray hair at the front desk to the valets were very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. I especially appreciated that the water got hot very fast, rather than having to run it for several minuets. Location is very walkable and safe; I recommend Topelo Honey and the Public Market.
