We arrived at three in the morning to staff that was waiting for us, which was very nice. I didn’t have to wake anybody up. The room was great the bed as usual. Excellent we just love the beds at Holiday Inn express. Where we were missing a trash can in the room, but we dealt with that. Woke up to their breakfast, which is always great. We just love their pancake machine. The hotel was essentially located in the middle of everything much closer to places we needed to go then we thought it was gonna be had a great weekend.

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.

The breakfast was very good. The staff was very helpful with the parking situation. Our only negative is that my husband has a c pap machine to sleep. There is a master switch for all the outlets and lights on the bed wall. When the switch was turned off the c pap wouldn’t work without the light staying on behind the bed. We finally did find an outlet on the opposite wall and had an extension cord so it worked.

Honestly 5+ stars to the women running this place. They’re doing their jobs and doing it with kindness, friendliness and above all helpful and professional. Give them a raise!! It was spotless and comfortable. Good reason why their ratings are above other hotels in the area charging twice as much for the name.
