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.

United States, October 2024

7.4/10

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.

Rooms
