Is very good place to stay! the river next to the hotel make a great view in the Anchorage Bar, Rooms are fine, very clean and secure. Big Non-Flat Screen, desktop, Bed Greaaat! and the pillows!! my god I want to take it with me to home! I been here like 4 times in 2011 for business travels and i don't doubt to come back in my nex trip to Milwaukee.

This seems like an older hotel desperately in need of some updating. I read the other reviews, along with the manager's responses, and it seems that the hotel has recently been renovated. If that is the case, I would hate to see the hotel prior to the updates. Check in was a bit odd - the receptionist was either interviewing a young man for a job or flrting with him while we were trying to get our room. She kept talking to him rather than finishing up with us. There were some open cans of soda and empty cups on tables in the lobby and by the elevator along with trash on the floor. The wallpaper was peeling and there were heavy scuff marks on the walls. When we got to the fourth floor, we were greated by the sound of an apparent party going on in one of the rooms at around 10:30 PM. The door to the room was wide open. Room 420's sign was apparently missing so it had been replaced with a piece of paper with the numbers printed on it. Our room was nothing special and the furnishings seemed like they were last updated in the 80s. Since my husband is a diamond preferred Hilton member, we got free breakfast at the restaurant. I had a made to order omelet with some hash browns. They were both so oily that I could not finish them. We have stayed at lots of Hiltons across the country and I really can't believe that this one hasn't been improved upon, even if that means gutting it and starting fresh. Im really not trying to be rude or demeaning here, but honestly, I would not recommend this hotel or ever stay here again.

My friends and I live in the Milwaukee area and go to the "Anchorage" bar at the HIlton for drinks after our Thursday night activity. One big attraction is Brian, the bartender. He knows us to be sure. But I like to watch him work the room making certain everyone has a drink, food, and a good word. If you are alone at that bar, Brian will find out where you come from and attend to you.

Tragically, the crackers and soft cheese they used to have at the bar were replaced with garlic bar mix. That was a disappointment. Maybe a compromise would be to serve the similar honey flavor bar mix, which is infinitely better.

Overlooking the Milwaukee River, this hotel is well run with a friendly staff. Just north of the heart of Milwaukee, the hotel has easy access to major roads leading to downtown, yet is in a quiet area with no road noise. The room was kept clean during our 5 night stay and the lobby lounge offers coffee around the fireplace. The restaurant offers a full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This hotel is definitely worth cconsidering and is much more economical than the downtown hotels.
