My stay at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center had its ups and downs. The historical charm of the building and my clean room on the 16th floor were highlights, but I faced some frustrations with the staff and amenities. While the location was great for walking to nearby restaurants, the parking costs were a bit outrageous, which detracted from my overall experience.

The hotel had adequate facilities but the parking fees were steep, which I think should be reconsidered. I did appreciate the well-maintained fitness center during my stay.

My stay at the Hilton Milwaukee had a mix of ups and downs. While I enjoyed the historic charm of the hotel and the central location near attractions, the reservation process was a nightmare. The staff were friendly and responsive, especially in handling our multiple room bookings, but the billing inconsistencies were quite stressful. Overall, I'd consider returning for its conveniences but hope for smoother service next time. 🤔🏨

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Hilton Milwaukee. While I loved the hotel's historical character and enjoyed easy access to downtown attractions, my room left much to be desired. It felt dated and lacked cleanliness, which didn't match the charm I saw in the lobby. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but improvements are necessary to elevate the guest experience further.

My stay at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center was quite the mixed bag. While the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, I found my room to be warmer than I'd like, and the bathroom had some quirks that made it less than optimal. The hotel location was perfect for my conference at the Wisconsin Center, thanks to the convenient skywalk. The restaurant and bar were great spots to unwind after long days. Overall, it had its charms, but I feel a bit of modernization could enhance the experience further.

I stayed in a smaller suite that had a cozy layout with a separate bedroom and some nice furnishings. However, the bathroom was a bit cramped, and I noted some cleanliness issues like dust on surfaces. Plus, the air conditioning struggled to keep my room cool enough for my liking. ⚠️
