AmericInn by Wyndham Brookfield

8/10 Good

"Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas limpias"

The Brewhouse Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the architecture and the theme of the building! We realized why it wasn't our 1st choice when we visited Milwaukee previously. It was because there was not a pool or hot tub! Donisha was helpful at the Front Desk answered our questions and got us checked in! Parking was a bust. The machine wasn't working that gave parking receipt."
