Good Clean stay
Went there to attend a nearby wedding. Room was as expected. Clean etc. They had motorcycle parking area very close to the door (and covered from the elements) which was a big plus. They provided a free shuttle to anywhere in downtown. I used it to go to the Harley Museum. I always love it when hotels' continental breakfast includes the "make your own" waffles. :)

Short trip
Reasonably priced for a downtown hotel. Clean, great beds. Room was small but comfortable and staff was very friendly and helpful. A nice place for an overnight business trip. Close to Summerfest.

A Great Place to Stay
The Comfort Inn and Suites was a great place to stay while I was visiting some people. When I arrived the type of room i requested was not available so the receptionist was kind enough to upgrade me to a larger suite.

ITS MY MILWAUKEE...
all was great, except the shuttle was "out of order". we came back to home on winter layoff just for the super bowl. Being a mr. fixit guy, I saw the shuttle bus parked and frozen like it hadn't moved in a few months. I've stayed here before with friends and family--- and probably will again. just get that short bus moving again, will ya?

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel
the best and cheapest if you want to drink with the PRO's in Beer City. Only 6 blocks away from water st., and very short cab ride away from north ave (where its really at).

Very nice hotel
This was a great location for a mini-vacation in Milwaukee. Right on Lake Michigan. We had a huge picture window in our room and could view the lake and the city skyline. Complimentary shuttle was a real plus... they would take us anywhere in the downtown area and pick us up. No parking worries.
