9 reviews for Hotel Metro
Hotel Metro is gorgeous, clean, and smells good all over! All of the rooms are suites and ours had this amazing, deep whirlpool tub that I still dream about. Our room even had a fireplace. It's one of those hotels that makes you think about re-evaluating your finances on the off-chance that you could live there instead of renting an apartment. (Answer is always no).
The food is also amazing and the staff are really friendly and helpful when it comes to ordering. But it's not just in the restaurant that you'll get good service - the front desk people are friendly and the valet guys are super professional, friendly, and fast.

This is the place to stay, if you can expense it.
Art Deco goodness. With all of your audio/visual needs. Had a jacuzzi, which would have been great had I had time to use it. Nice bar, downstairs; with a decent brunch. Great location.
The service wasn't bad; but nothing special. The Pfister is the shiznit, if you need stroking.
Stayed here for two nights the weekend of my wedding. It is really a wonderful hotel. First off it's loaded with charm as it is a certified historic hotel. The design of it is hard to describe but I would say modern yet with a 1920's flair. Our room had a seating area separated from the sleeping area by a cool curved wall. The bathroom was huge and had a shower and large soaking tub. The bed was very comfortable and the room had 2 flat screen TVs. I do wish it had more natural light as our windows faced the parking garage of the hotel next door. Regardless it served well as my preparation area, photo area and wedding night escape. The staff was friendly and helpful and they even allowed us to use the Zen on Seven space on the roof for some of our wedding photos!

This is a fantastic hotel located in downtown Milwaukee. Our room was a gigantic suite. Think BIG - then keep on thinking. Loved the layout of the room which included; Two flat-screens, HUGE comfortable bed with high grade linens for snuggling, shower and seperate tub, and Aveda products!
Then I was blown away by the restaurant downstairs. Not only do they have an entire menu for their BLOODY MARY's but just the basic $6.00 Bloody Mary came with a beef stick, three huge olives, and asparagus! I was truly impressed. The food was excellent too.

I often have to organize recruiting trips for my company and wind up flying several people to Milwaukee each year. If you're ever trying to WOW somebody with their visit to our fine city... put them up for a stay in the Hotel Metro.
The rooms are AMAZING. Each one is unique and from the moment you enter, you never have the feeling that this is just another Hampton Inn. They are bursting with modern character. The best part, while they are a little more expensive, they are not out of this world (especially if your goal is to impress)!
While there is the on-going rivalry between the Pfister and Metro among my friends as to which is the best Milwaukee hotel... hands down, I go with Metro. Everybody knows that Milwaukee has old school character (thanks Miller, Pabst and Schlitz) but Hotel Metro comes as a refreshing surprise.
Also, if you happen to have people stay there over a Friday night... what better fun that $5 martinis right downstairs in the Hotel Bar?! Often times you begin the night with happy hour at the Metro and then, all of sudden, it's last call! The best part, the place stays crowded (usually not overly crowded either) all night long. Since I'm not a martini man, I usually opt for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but my friends usually gravitate to the Mango martini... according to them, "fruity, flirty and fun!"

I had only one evening to experience the Metro, but it was a wonderful and pleasant surprise, recommended by a colleague who travels here from time to time. An all-suite hotel, the sitting area is "cozy", but love the flat screen in bed and living room (with many HD channels). And yes I am a sucker for Aveda products. Had a lousy view facing a parking garage, but barely looked out the window while I enjoyed the cool mid-century retro space. Other than running up an outrageous bill from the mini-bar (the second Prez debate was on!) my experience was top-rate. What a nice surprise in the town Laverne and Shirley made famous!

This is a really cute boutique hotel in downtown Milwaukee. I had my wedding here and the staff was very helpful and the prices per person (for hor dourves, dinner and four hours open bar) very, very reasonable. They were also very willing to accomodate meals for all the guests including vegetarians.
I understand that the ballroom is not everyone's cup of tea but my husband and I loved it. There is a very interesting Tiffany-blue, printed fabric on the walls. The chairs are cushy and red and there is a bamboo hardwood floor.
The hotel rooms are amazing, very clean and cozy with a fire place in some of the rooms. I also liked that a different type of aromatherapy is pumped through the airvents on each floor. Endless supplies of Aveda products in each room also.
Of everything in this hotel, I have to say that our guests still talk about the food. It was amazing! A great place for a wedding, however, it is best for a small wedding. I think we fit 75 in the ballroom.

This super cool hotel appeals to the OCD freak in me: note, all white beds. It is spotless and chic. The beds rival the "heavenly bed" at the Westin. The decor and furniture are tasteful (and again, spotless, no yucky stains). Every evening when I return to my room, the hotel staff have turned down my covers, left me chocolate, and put on music on the CD player. The best part: unlimited Aveda products and clean, soft robes. Yummy. Plus, room service that doesn't cost an arm and leg: oatmeal with carmelized sugar and fresh berries ($4.95) and homemade granola ($4.95). Love it! ~$169/night (and the rooms are huge).

The Hotel Metro's street-level restaurant and bar takes hotel restaurants and bars to another level. I have gone for lunch several times and each time has been quite good. They also serve up one of my favorite after-work cocktail hours in Downtown Milwaukee. Great drinks, upscale atmoshphere without being too pretentious. Mostly young crowd, not too many TV sets, and, thankfully, a mostly smoke free environment, even when crowded. Last time I was there the place was jam packed and I saw a total of two cigarettes get lit and smoked the whole time I was there.
