Hampton Inn & Suites Milwaukee Downtown

I don’t know who made plans for us to stay at a hotel on the night of our wedding. It seemed strange to me, especially since we would be going back to work the following Monday and wouldn’t be taking our honeymoon for a while. I guess I would have rather gone home, but we went to the hotel instead. It was nice, the room looked like any other hotel room I had stayed in, and the staff had set out a bottle of wine for us. It was nice but we still had to meet our checkout time the next morning. If we would have stayed longer we might have used the pool or something. We did get to eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant, but again the food was nothing spectacular. I really, really would have rather been at home with my new wife than checking in and out of hotels!

I personally thought that this was a great hotel option for our friends coming from out of town, and even for our wedding party (everyone in my wedding party got rooms here on the night of the wedding). We were able to get a deal on the rate, but only because we booked and filled a block of more than twenty five wedding guests rooms. For our friends with kids, they loved the pool. I think it still is more pricy than staying at a Super Eight, but you’re also paying to stay in the middle of downtown. And you’re also paying to not have to drive somewhere after the party.

I wanted a big fancy wedding because I planned on getting married only once, and my husband and I have been waiting so long to get married! We picked the Hampton Inn beause it is a beautiful hotel, lots of great amenities, and an amazing looking reception room. When we stepped in there we knew that this would be a place to hold a great party! They do weddings here all the time and are super professional and helpful. We were always able to call and have our questions answered. There is a price for everything in addition, but they do have audiovisual equipment that we were able to rent, and they have a catering service that they recommend. I think the best part was that it was so central, so our guests from out of town were still able to enjoy the sights of Milwaukee.

We booked our night here, just like the rest of our guests. I think we were both so happy that so many people had traveled so far to be at our wedding that we wanted to spend the most amount of time with them. Our room was really nice, and we did get a bottle of champagne and strawberries from the front desk as a gift for our wedding. It was a typical room, with a bed and a couch and cable tv. I also noted that the décor has gotten a little trendy, or as trendy as hotels can get. I also took advantage of the pool and went for a swim the next day. There is nothing better than lounging by a pool after a long night of celebration!
