Aloft Milwaukee Downtown

We arrived to a very long line of cars for valet and had to sit on the road for almost half an hour before we were able to make it into the parking lot at the hotel. The hotel's computer system was down when we checked in as well, so there was some confusion re: reservations, etc. That got straightened out smoothly - the staff were clearly overwhelmed but were still very friendly and patient with everyone. I stayed here with two teenage girls for a concert that evening at the Fiserv, and they thought the room was amazing. There was a nice big counter in the bathroom. Great shower. Beds were comfy. Room was very clean. Wish there would have been a microwave in the room - there is a fridge but no microwave. The pool and pool room were slightly chilly - would have liked to see the room about 10 degrees warmer, and/or a hot tub available for soaking. We had to stay an extra night because of the large snowstorm that occurred the night we checked in. The hotel staff were very accommodating and let us stay in the same room for that extended night. Overall, this was a very nice hotel - very clean, staff was very polite, knowledgeable and understanding. Valet drivers were very nice as well. One really nice touch was that the hotel piped in the music of the band that was playing for the concert that evening - we got to hear their music in the elevator and the lobby on the way to the Fiserv for the show. The girls loved that. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time and would be back.

-20 degrees and the only parking available was several blocks away. Computers were down when we arrived so we weren't able to check in right away. Payed extra for a "room with a view" and ended up on the second floor looking at the rest of the hotel. Room was clean but the heater/AC sounded like it was going to blow up.

The staff was really friendly. Beds were really comfy. The coffee maker was dirty but other than that it was enjoyable.

Not worth it. Holiday Inn'ish
