Hotwire Hotel: Milwaukee (Downtown) Help

[Lloyd A. de Vries]

I'm looking for a hotel downtown near the convention center, 400 West Wisconsin Ave., August 6-11. Hotwire lists three downtown properties: A 4-star at $158 (and I see several past bookings here for 4* hotels), a 2.5* for $127 (free breakfast, pet friendly, smoke free rooms, high-speed Internet access) and a 2* for $124 (free parking, free Internet, smoke free rooms, fitness center, pool(s), restaurant(s), business center, high-speed Internet access). I didn't find any 2* or 2.5* listed here recently for Milwaukee (Downtown).

Ideally, I'd like free Internet, free breakfast, and a smoke free room, all a reasonable walk from the convention center.

Alternatively, I'd stay in another part of the area, if the mass transit is good (like that in Portland, Oregon!).

Suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Best guess for the 2* property would be the Ramada Inn Downtown.

The Ambassador Inn would be my best guess for the 2.5*.

If you're interested in the 4* hotel can you please include the full list of amenities associated with that property.

You can also enter the address of the convention center into our sister site, MAPS and HOTELS.com, search within 1 mile (or 3 miles if not enough results with 1 mile) and quickly see rates for the surrounding hotels as well as how much more/less it would cost to go up/down in star rating or closer/further for your ideal location.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

Thanks. I didn't know about the MAPS and HOTELS.com site, but I'm about to check it out. I'll let you know what happens, and, if I book through Hotwire, it'll be through your link to HOTWIRE.
