We have stayed at the Plaza many times over many years. It's a one of a kind experience. They have refreshed their rooms and it's even more lovely. Kitchenette is great. Restaurant has delicious breakfast and lunch. Delightful outdoor patio in warm weather. Metro market right there for anything you might need. 5 🌟
We loved our stay at this hotel! It's got a retro vibe, the room is clean, updated, comfortable and quiet. The staff was friendly, and we got upgraded from a queen to a king room.
Great location, we parked the car and walked to Brady St for dinner and show. You walk through the restaurant to get to the stairs (to your room), which is a little different, but the cafe was super tasty and convenient in the morning, with super kind staff. We didn't use the kitchen but it was fully stocked, this would be a great place to stay for multiple nights.
We will stay here again on our next visit to Milwaukee.

Great well-maintained 1920s apartment hotel with charming well-run Cafe at the Plaza. Front desk staff was consistently friendly and helpful. Location in Milwaukee's Lower East Side neighborhood is close to Juneau Park, the lakefront, and--via the free HOP light-rail--convenient to downtown. Would definitely stay again.

The Plaza Hotel was such a wonderful surprise. We loved everything about it! We had dined at the restaurant before, and are so happy to now have stayed at the hotel. What a beautiful, historic and well-run property. Our room was so spacious, well appointed and had everything needed for even a much longer stay. They thought of everything!
The location is wonderful as well -easily walkable and street parking was accessible. We loved it and would not stay anywhere else in Milwaukee from here on out.
