Top Discovery World Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Was a fantastic place in a great location. Would stay again without question!"

Kimpton Journeyman Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful and in a wonderful location! EVERYONE was so helpful and polite! The bellman actually delivered our luggage to our room before we even checked in and upon check-out offered to keep our car in front of the hotel while we ran to eat breakfast. Such unbelieveably outstanding service. The onsite restaurant Tre Rivali is lovely, the servers there were also excellent as was the food and drinks we ordered. We at there twice. The rooftop bar is very nice, but unfortunately not really our scene. We had a drink there before going out, but didn't care for the atmosphere after we had a late dinner. This was not the hotel I originally reserved, but I am so glad my reservation got switched to the Kimpton. I will definitely stay here again!"

The Knickerbocker on the Lake

8/10 Good

"Great location and nice room. We were told to check in at a kiosk when we arrived, although there was not a single other person in the lobby and the guest attendant was otherwise unoccupied. Then she gave us a key with no instructions on how to navigate its quirkiness. Had to haul all our stuff back down to have her accompany us back to our room for what would have been a simple instruction at check in. We also had to call MPD to register our license plate for street parking, which involved a wait on hold and then trying to figure out an address to give them as we were not in front of any building with an address. Seems like a dashboard plaque would solve this. The rest of our stay was nice, but the check in process was odd."

The Westin Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Had one little hiccup in our favor with the reservation, but they apologized and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful Anniversary dinner at the restaurant! We also got a complimentary breakfast before checkout. It’s within walking distance to a lot of places. 5 stars for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
