"A great place to stay"

Our short visit, to see Milwaukee's amazing Holiday Shows, was made even better by staying at Holiday Inn Express in Downtown Milwaukee. A very nice, trendy, clean and a very safe place to stay. The staff knew their jobs and all were extremely friendly. They were thrilled to have guests in their hotel (this is both refreshing and rare). Aside from everything else, the price was great. If you are coming to Milwaukee. stay at Holiday Inn Express Downtown.
