Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel
Still can't believe you have to leave your room to go get coffee by the elevators.. I bring my own coffee maker each time I stay here for work... I choose other hotels when staying downtown for personal.

The Westin Milwaukee
I have been to this property many times, however on this visit the quality and portion size of the dinner selections had significantly dropped and the prices were distinctly higher; too high in fact. The bar staff were excellent.
