I had a mixed experience at Aloft Hotel Milwaukee Downtown. The funky decor and central location were definite highlights, making it convenient for exploring local eateries and the Fiserv Forum. However, I encountered some issues with noise from the street and the parking situation, as only valet service was available. Additionally, the cleanliness of the bathroom tiles left much to be desired. Overall, while the staff were friendly and accommodating, certain aspects could use improvement. 🌆🛌

My stay at Aloft Hotel Milwaukee Downtown had its highs and lows. The staff made me feel super welcome with a warm greeting right at the door, and I appreciated the convenient location next to all the downtown fun. However, the noise level at night was a serious issue, making it tough to get a good night's sleep. Plus, I encountered a cleanliness problem in my room and some maintenance issues that detracted from the overall experience.

The room was stylish but had some upkeep issues, like a non-functioning TV input and cleanliness problems that left much to be desired. The shower door didn’t close properly, causing water to end up on the floor every morning.

My stay at Aloft Hotel Milwaukee Downtown had a fantastic location right near the Fiserv Forum, which was a major plus. However, I was quite disappointed by the noise levels late at night, especially given the lack of proper soundproofing in the rooms. While the facility offered a nice lounge area and an indoor pool, I encountered several service issues that detracted from the overall experience.

Rooms

6.0

The room was clean but lacked soundproofing, making it very noisy at night, especially from the street. I also found the closet design inefficient, which made it tough to hang longer clothing.

Service

5.0

The front desk staff were friendly, but I had several issues with housekeeping where my room wasn't cleaned, and communication from staff was often lacking.

Location

The hotel is centrally located, right next to the new stadium and many bars and restaurants, which made it easy for me to explore the area and enjoy the nightlife.

Dining

5.0

I appreciated the bar prices being affordable, but I encountered poor service there. The lobby coffee options were not consistently available, which was disappointing.

Facilities

6.0

While the indoor pool was nice for a quick dip with the kids, the facility felt crowded when more than a few families were present. The valet service was hit or miss and could be slow during busy times.
