“Amazing Stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We were in town for a show at Turner Hall, and picked The Intercontinental after seeing it listed on the Pasbt Theatre's website. We took advantage of the Valet parking service and had our bags brought to the front desk for check-in. Our room was clean, and the bed and pillows were amazing! After calling Lee at the Concierge Desk for dinner recommendations (which were made for us by Lee at a great resteraunt), we recieved complimentary Champagne, Chocolates, and a voucher for two free drinks delivered to the door! We were celebrating a late birthday and Valentines Day. Breakfast at Kilowatt was great as well! We will be back again and again! Thanks for making our stay so memorable!

How exciting for us to be a part of your birthday/Valentine's celebration. I am so delighted that we were a part of this special occasion. Lee is such a hardworking, resourceful employee, I am happy you credited him for his efforts in making you happy.

“Nice room, over priced room service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

The hotel is beautiful - Kilowatt restaurant is very good for breakfast. Toiletries were not replenished in our room one night - and when we ordered room service, the bill was outrageous. Not to mention we were told we got the cook mad because I ordered from the menu that was outdated but still in our room. That has happened twice in the past 6 months so perhaps they need to have their menus reprinted. We had the city view once and this time a river view...which I am not sure what that means as we saw no river in site. Other than that the stay was very comfortable and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

“Bartender made my trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

A very nice young woman named Catherine served me drinks both nights I stayed here. She arranged for one of her friends to come and educate me on the many scotches they have on their menu. She was very sweet, and made my stay in an unknown city much more enjoyable.

“Mini-vacation in our hometown.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I decided to have a mini-vacation in our hometown. Milwaukee's best attributes are frequently not recognized by those who live here. We had such a wonderful time enjoying great service, food, and drink, we've decided to do this on a more regular basis, and always at this Intercontinental. The hotel lobby bar happy hour was fun and delicious, as was our dinner at Kilawat on the second floor. Thank you Intercontinental Milwaukee!

Room Tip: ask for the highest floor available for best city views

“Exceptionally comfortable, friendly, and stylish hotel in downtown Milwaukee”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Our stay here was a very pleasant surprise, going beyond just comfort and services to adding a lot of style. The rooms, beds, and pillows are exceptionally comfortable. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The use of lighter trendy colors, unique woods, carpet colors, and lighting throughout the hotel make this property feel much different from comparable hotels. Rather than just style, this place has a feel of energy throughout. A great lobby level bar for drinks, and even a ping pong table on the first floor off the lobby! The Intercontinental adds fun to a nice hotel stay. And it is conveniently located to north downtown venues...Pabst Theater, Marcus Performing arts center, and the Bradley Center.

Room Tip: Ask for rooms facing the Marcus Performing Arts Center. The walls are lit at night with constantly...
