    “I’ve stayed at the Western Milwaukee, three of the last four years for the USA TRIATHLON national championships. The location is outstanding for those events and access to the hub of a very clean and safe city. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, and the staff goes the extra mile to make the stay pleasant and welcoming.”

  • Room wasn’t clean, no coffee when I checked in, no soap or body wash in dispenser. When you pay $600 plus a night …..BAD

    “We did a one night stay at the Westin for a quick anniversary celebration. Staff was very friendly and quick to respond to requests. This was our 3rd time staying at this property since 2018 and while the hotel is nice, the rooms are showing some wear & tear that they need to take care of to ensure this property stays one of the better hotels in Downtown Milwaukee. Our room had peeling wall paper, a scratched up headboard and banged up cabinets. It was little stuff but I expect more from the Westin brand.”

    “A huge shout out to Tanya, Front Desk Supervisor at the Westin Milwaukee, for her outstanding service during a recent event at the hotel. Due to event logistics, hundreds of vendor packages arrived under the same name, creating a very challenging situation. While the event team struggled to manage the issue, Tanya stepped in, took control, and helped each vendor with professionalism, kindness, and a smile. As an event planner who works with hotels regularly, I truly appreciate exceptional service when I see it. There are people who do their jobs well, and there are those who truly excel — Tanya is one of those people. Thank you for going above and beyond!”

  • For any overnight stay, Westin Milwaukee would easily be our first choice again

    “The location was really convenient! It was a large and clean hotel that was near many of the attractions we planned to visit. It wasn't a far way to get to and from the hotel. Parking was fairly convenient and there were a lot of food options and amenities available right on site.”

  • We came for Summerfest and the location was prefect
