Great Couple Getaway!
Very responsive staff. The Sunday morning brunch was excellent. Close to all kinds of fun activities, e.g. theaters, riverwalk, etc. This place had a very good fitness center. We'll stay there again.

Nothing Special
The on-line photos did not reflect our room at all. Our bathroom was tiny and outdated. The room was nothing special at all which surprised me based on the hotel's photo tour and the fact that it was one of the highest cost rooms in the city. The only positive is its location. I will be looking for a different hotel when I return to Milwaukee.

Great place in Easttown
Hotel was bettercomfortable, servcie staff gracious, restaurant and bar visually and tastefully done. Near many downtown venues and specialty stores. Theater is right around the corner. I especially liked that you are not required to book a two or more day stay. Convenient for travelers.

It was ok
For spending 150 a night in Milwaukee, I was expecting toothbrush, toothpaste, the ability to crank up the heat. A prior review mentioned that it was a little cold, and I found that to be the case for me too. Also again for that much, I guess free parking is too much to expect. Also they nickel and dime you with the basic internet free, oh but if you need hi speed pay $. So watching youtube was not viable, but I could check email and news.

Fine for the price
The hotel was nice enough, but not the level of luxury I was expecting from the Intercontinental. I'm glad we got such a good price from [...]because it otherwise would have felt bad to pay the regular cost. The location was great, the room service prices decent, the hotel lobby was beautiful, but the room itself was a little dingy. The bedding was clean and comfortable, and the room had some other nice features including a designer desk chair, but if you looked closely, you'd notice that the wallpaper in the bathroom was a little stained in places, that kind of thing. So, nothing dirty but a little worse for the wear in several spots.

A great deal
Very comfortable bed and bedding. Bathroom seemed less upscale than the rest of the facility. Staff was helpful in suggesting a restaurant and calling ahead for a table.
