Doubletree by Hilton Milwaukee Downtown

Did not like the room kind of creepy and dark. Asbestos style walls painted over in an adobe brick color. Tv reception intermittently went out. The avenues car in hotel was average. Lobby is nice but not reflective of rooms.

We had our rehearsal dinner here and reserved a block of rooms for our wedding at 1451 Renaissance Place. Working with the staff at DoubleTree was a breeze. Allan made scheduling the rehearsal dinner easy and seamless. He worked with me to stick to my budget and gave his honest opinion, which I really appreciated. Also, the food was delicious! (Which is not always the case at hotels.)
And reserving our room block here was such a great decision. Our guests loved staying here, and were overjoyed that they got a warm cookie at check-​in. The little things go a long way! We also reserved a shuttle for our wedding guests to and from the hotel, which many of them used. And the shuttle driver even came back at the end of the event to pick up guests who missed the midnight shuttle time. DoubleTree has a great staff who go above and beyond for their guests.
There is a $ 15 valet parking fee each day, but let your guests know ahead of time and it won’t be a big deal. If you book a shuttle, your guests will be happy that they can leave their cars parked in a private lot. And compared to a lot of valets, this price is very reasonable! I highly recommend the DoubleTree for an event and room block!

Clean outside, lobby, and rooms. However no pool; I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a hotel that didn’t have a pool. Also, no self parking only valet which is $ 15 per day. If they had either self parking or free valet and a pool I would give 5 stars. Also, if it wasn’t for courteous staff I would of left 2 stars for no pool and expensive forced valet.
To upper management you should thank your staff for making up for what you lack in concept.

The staff at the Doubletree Downtown Milwaukee offers first-​class customer service. They are always very friendly and professional, but during my recent trip they took the time to go out of their way to accommodate my request. It was something they did not have to do, but they did it to ensure my stay at the hotel was a great experience. The General Manager makes guests feel welcomed the moment they arrive and ensures they are well taken care of. Other hotels could learn a few things from this team!

Nice hotel, good stay, polite staff. A little worn but otherwise no issues other than the cost of parking

This hotel has the most friendly, helpful and hardworking staff I’ve seen. In 2015 I stayed at 20+ hotels including this one.
I’m back here now and it’s great to see a business with familiar faces and no turnover. Props to the management.

My fiancé qualified to compete in the national olympic sprint triathalon and we made reservations to stay at the hotel for the weekend. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to stay at this hotel due to my fiancé having to work 120 hours this week (critical care fellowship). She did her due diligence by canceling our reservations two months in advance. Suddenly we get an email stating that we were charged $ 724.00 for our room because we did not show up for our reservation. We called the hotel and forwarded our reservation cancellation confirmation via email. The people we spoke with Dillon and Shamen (front desk and front desk manager) received the confirmation of cancellation, however, demonstrated zero customer service skills and absolutely shut down any of our attempts to have the charges removed. First, they stated that they could not confirm the confirmation # because it was booked through a third party. My fiancé explained the details of the third party, obviously not having communicated the cancellation to Hilton hotels. Next, they claimed to not have authorization to make this refund. You get the point. The hotel staff was not decent nor accommodating in this matter. We felt it prudent to share this experience with other potential customers of this hotel chain so that they can use the information when deciding where to stay.
Best of luck to you and happy traveling

This hotel had the best staff collectively that I’ve ever encountered in my travels. I’m discounting Disney from that statement. The room was clean and mostly comfortable. If you like really soft squishy beds this is your place. My husband and I are being punished for it with back pain. The bathroom/​closet area is tight but expected of an older building they really did a good job with what they had to work with. Breakfast was great!

Decent place to stay the beds were comfy and the pillows weren’t that bad. It was a great getaway for my wife and I for pride fest. I am happy that they were one of the sponsors for the festival as well. They had a shuttle that helped get you to and from the festival with out having to worry about drinking and driving or parking costs.
The sad part is that the valet parking is so expensive and you don’t have any other options. But it wasn’t as bad as stay at the Hyatt for $ 30 dollars valet parking.

Very decent place, did an overnight here before my ferry to Michigan, back on May 19^th.
Front desk folks were pleasant, went to the room, and it was very nice and comfortable. Temperature was a little warm for me, but was easily adjusted to my liking (I like cooler temps). No problems with noise, except for the common door shutting — people seem to want to just let it slam on their own, especially at 10pm, it being a 2-​star or a 5-​star hotel, hmm odd…
Room service did me well, albeit expensive, food was tasty and got me well fed for both dinner and breakfast.
Parking is valet, a flat $ 15 with in-​n-​out privs — just let the valet know, and he’ll make sure your car is readily available.
Yes, its a bit expensive, but comfortable and very much in downtown, so it does the job well.
Will come back here!

I have travelled almost weekly for business for the past year+ and this is the first negative hotel review I’ve ever written. I do this to hopefully spare someone else the misery I endured this morning. DO NOT stay at this hotel while the construction to their parking area is going on!!! Or if you must, INSIST that they put you on a high floor far away from it. I completely understand the need for renovations/​construction and have stayed at various hotels while they did so, but in every other instance, I was always notified about where it was, what time it would start, etc and given a room away from it if requested or if I would need to still be in the hotel in the morning when it was going on, etc.
So imagine my unpleasant surprise when DEAFENING JACKHAMMERING started at 8:00am on the dot the next morning!!! Not just loud, teeth jarring! And it never stopped. I live in downtown Chicago in an apartment building that is often renovating its units, so I am used to typical construction noise. I have NEVER heard anything close to this LOUD inside a building!
The only notification about any construction was a sign in the elevator saying they were working on the valet lanes, so you could not ask for your car until you were ready to take it right away. No warning WHATSOEVER that there would be DEAFENING JACKHAMMERING starting at 8:00am the next morning. And no one mentioned a word about it at check in! As I said, I understand the construction. What I do not understand is why I wasn’t given the courtesy of a warning so that I would have had the opportunity to say, «Actually, this is one of the rare times that I don’t have to leave the hotel super early and would still be here at that time, so yes PLEASE give me a room far away from it or transfer me to the other Hilton right across the street.» How difficult would that simple courtesy have been!!! The response from the front desk was that they were sorry, and yes they have to hear it all day. Well you are being paid to be there, I am a paying guest! But I certainly won’t make that mistake again. And as it turns out from reading other reviews, as a Hilton Honors member, I should have been given a room on their designated (higher) Honors members’ floors to begin with, which might have avoided this whole issue! Wow, what a way to treat your members!

This place was just right. Incredibly comfortable bed the size of a lake; small, clean room; small, clean workout room, with two washers and dryers for guests’ use. Delicious breakfast buffet; nice bar that was a really mellow place to hang out. Was there for a conference and stayed for 5 nights — would have happily stayed on. The hotel and restaurant staff are awesome! Super friendly and helpful. Oh yeah, and they gave us warm cookies when we arrived.
The conference got us onto the HHonors floors, so I can’t speak for the rest of the hotel, but the staff alone make it worthwhile.

They gave us warm cookies when we checked in. They were delicious! haha.
Stayed here one night while visiting the college. The location is great, walking distance to the college. Many restaurants around as well.
The rooms were fine and appeared clean… but when I took a shower I noticed that the water was not draining well. Same with the sink in the bathroom. That grossed me out a bit. Other than that, it was a decent experience.

Let me start off saying I’m very Hilton loyal and am part of their HHonors program. Diamond status by the way. Balling!!! From traveling and being to all their different chains I have an idea of what to expect from them on my visits. The service here was exceptional. I originally had a double bed room booked because that’s all they had available. Still the same case when I was checking in. I asked them to let me know if a king room opened up. Within 15 minutes of being in my room they had one that opened up so I was able to switch. It was much appreciated. They gave me extra drink tickets for my inconvenience and glad I took advantage of that in the bar. The bartenders were great with service and making recommendations for beer. I also ate at the bar which was really good. I got the beer cheese meatloaf and cheesecake. It was really good so give it a shot it you go.

Stayed for a week for work and was happy with the accommodations. Conveniently located, very accessible parking (important for me because work requires tons of driving), quiet rooms. The lobby bar was spacious enough to allow private conversations over drinks but also to meet strangers at the bar (hotel bars are the best place to meet random strangers for memorable conversations). There are multiple on-​site dining options including a casual bar and grill and nicer restaurant. There’s also a Starbucks.
I generally get room service once while traveling. There is something fun about staying in with dinner in the room, your pajamas and television. This place was no exception and the room service was excellent. So excellent I did it twice.
I would definitely book this hotel if I found myself back in Milwaukee.

Love to stay here. The best run hotel I’ve ever seen. Every staff member goes the extra mile, from the valet parker to the bartender. Every person is friendly yet respectful. The manager is always standing in the lobby helping out and greeting guests.
Nice room. Love the restaurant.

I was in Milwaukee last week for a Lutheran Education Association Convocation. The teachers of my school stayed at the Double Tree Hotel. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The TV is big with many channel selections. There is good water pressure in the bathroom. The elevators are also quick.
I think there could have been a breakfast provided. Their restaurant did offer one, but it was too expensive for my budget, and I do not eat much anyway.
The hotel is very convenient to the Wisconsin Convention Center.

NOTE: Valet Only (don’t worry, it’s free). And by free I mean $ 15.
Located in the heart of DT Milwaukee, near tons of bars and restaurants.
This location boasts bars located on 2 different floors (Oh hell yeah).One is indoor and one is outdoor.
The staff here are insanely friendly and accommodating.
This hotel has two top floors dedicated to Hilton Honors Members (AKA…me).
Huge beds, spacious rooms and decent views (its just Milwaukee).
Would I return? (Does a bear shit in the woods???).

Four nights here and it was good. A quiet and nicely sized room on the tenth floor with a comfortable bed with all the amenities I would expect from a proper hotel — large television with a bunch of channels, free Internet, a comfortable work space, a bar and restaurant, and a very friendly helpful staff. And of course, the free Doubletree cookie!
Here are my only complaints. The work desk didn’t have enough outlets. The well gin in the bar was pretty awful. The water pressure in the shower was very high, no matter what time of the morning I tried it. Parking is expensive. Uh… that’s pretty much it.
As a Hilton Gold elite, I get a couple of breakfast coupons. The buffet breakfast isn’t bad. I wouldn’t pay for it though. If you’re of a like mind, there’s a Starbucks across the street in the Hilton. There’s also a taxi stand over there if you want to avoid the parking charges.
FYI… a taxi from the airport to here is about $ 40. The convention center (currently called the Delta Center, soon to be the Wisconsin Center) is a block away. There are also plenty of restaurants within a couple of blocks.

One hour wait to get a room when we arrived around 1PM (check in is at 3 so no big deal). Nothing but great things to say about our experience here after check in.
–Warm Chocolate Chip cookies after check-​in
–Super friendly staff
–Modern room; featured fridge and new hd tv (with hbo)
–Quiet hotel
–Great value
–24 HR convenience and Dunkin Donuts across the street
There wasn’t much around the hotel but we took taxis around the city. The front desk would call taxis for us and they were at the front door within 1 – 2 minutes.
If I came back to Milwaukee this would be on the top of the list for the price.
