Top East Town Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"we liked everything. Breakfast,5:30 hospitality reception."

The Iron Horse Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Iron Horse Hotel is visually stunning. The lobby and dining areas feature a fantastic industrial design with exposed brick, heavy timber beams, vintage motorcycles, and vibrant artwork. The staff is extremely helpful and welcoming, and the room's bathroom was beautifully designed. However, there are a few areas for improvement. First, the on-site restaurant closes at 10:00 PM, which is too early, especially on weekends. Second, at the outdoor bar, I was served a drink in a noticeably dirty glass. When I asked for a replacement, the bartender simply poured the existing drink from the dirty glass directly into a clean one rather than pouring a fresh drink. Finally, the room itself showed significant wear and tear. The carpeting had a tripping hazard from buckling, dark creases, and a bleached spot. The animal-hide ottoman was heavily worn with a hole on top, and the bathroom vanity had a burnt-out bulb, indicating a lapse in basic maintenance. Despite these issues, the beautiful atmosphere and great staff make this a place I would definitely stay again."

Kinn Guesthouse Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Kinn Guesthouse was so secure with a code to enter the building after 7:00 pm. The code is used in the elevator and for entering the room. A large kitchen and dining area is shared by the floor, but we rarely even saw anyone else. It is in a great location and convenient to many things."
