PBR me, ASAP.
The history of the Brewhouse is a big part of Milwaukee, and the restoration of this building is incredible. We loved the photos and architectural details.
Some of the room fittings needed repair - the shade didn't work, the curtains did not close all the way. This was minor relative to the comfort of the room.

A must stay in Milwaukee
The staff was great. Everyone in the bar/restaurant were super friendly. The copper kettles on the 2nd foor were really cool. Our room was great. Great stay all around.

A Milwaukee gem!
Such a cool place that kept original brick work and the beer vats. Quiet rooms with plenty of space
Valet was slow but they only had one worker so to be expected

Comfortable stay at a renovated brewery in Milwaukee
I had a queen studio suite, which was one large room with full shower bathroom on the ground floor. The room had a kitchenette but I only used the refrigerator and sink. The bed was comfortable and there was a desk, a high-top seating area, an armchair and a bench. I had a continental breakfast included and that was ok. The hotel building itself is quite interesting and well-renovated, with a view of huge vats formerly used for brewing beer on the second floor. The restaurant had typical bar-type food (at lunch, at least).
The lighting in my room was a bit dim. The room looked out onto an outdoor patio for the restaurant and got a bit noisy when a large group was there, and therefore it seemed less private if you wanted to have the window shade fully open. The surrounding area has a few places to eat and a small grocery across the street, and it is architecturally quite interesting with various brewery-related buildings nearly, but it was at least a twenty-minute walk to the central business and entertainment area of Milwaukee.

Cool stay and great decor.
We loved the location and it was quiet. Walking distance to the riverwalk. Great Pub located downstairs and a grocery store, nail salon and coffee shop just around the corner.

Historical style preserved magnificently with comfort of modern hotel
Loved how the historical presence was preserved with style while all the comfort of modern hotels was instilled. We had a wonderful stay!!
Area to unload in front with the stairs in the front was very difficult and other cars were waiting. Then parking across the street- ok for summer, but would be a pain in winter.

Clean, comfortable, quiet room with good bed.
Attractive rooms with very good quality finishes, good bed, kitchenette w/large fridge, good step in shower.
No task lighting next to the bed, no grab bar in shower, no exhaust fan or supplemental heater in bathroom, no garage! $40 for valet parking, unable to access our car without bothering the valet to retrieve it.

This place has great atmosphere!
A great hotel in a former brewery, this place offers great atmosphere for beer-lovers! Spacious rooms, super comfortable beds, very good breakfast (not complimentary though) and a small gym too.
We waited like 15 minutes for somebody to show up at the reception desk to check us in.

This is such a unique, beautiful hotel. I look forward to staying again next time.
We had the brunch at the restaurant. The breakfast burrito was pretty good, and very filling.
The service at the restaurant was a bit slow. The staff was very friendly.

Loved that an old building was saved from salvage. Tastefully decorated. Staff very friendly too!
Breakfast as delicious. Menu was more than the usual eggs and bacon choices. Each day we tried something different and each dish was delish! Atmosphere was nice. Loved the old building. Glad they saved it.
No parking. Had to jockey around for a metered spot on the street. Very cumbersome! Either that or pay at a parking garage or for valet. For what we paid per night, kinda expected better parking.

A Great Overnight Stay
The hotel is really unusual as it is the former Pabst Brewery building. It is stunning inside and has been converted into a hotel to a very high standard. The room was spacious and very comfortable.. Included is a buffet breakfast which we really enjoyed. It has a good hotel bar too.. it is in a great location and is just a short distance from the city centre. There is a secure car park nearby which is very reasonable at $13 per night compared to the price of other city parking. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Absolutely nothing.

Great hotel, unique and clean.
Loved the old building and the style of old meets new. Great location, bed was comfortable, bathroom was large, and was very clean.
Parking was a half block away and not included in price of the room.

Awesome building/history!
Building, History, room layout.
Breakfast could have been better, for instance every day of our stay there was cream cheese but no bagels. The location within the city was a bit of a walk to downtown and the RiverWalk.

I loved the hotel but thought it was overpriced and the breakfast was weak.
Loved the history and the facilities, interior, having a restaurant onsite, shuttle service to the baseball game
Location wasn’t bad just wasn’t super close to restaurants and shops but totally worth the inconvenience for the building itself

I would visit and stay at the Brewhouse Inn and suites again! Loved it.
The historic brewery building and surrounding area was interesting and fun to explore. The rooms were mini suites, were up to date and clean.
Overall there was nothing I didn’t like.

Great hotel!!!
SUPER COOL old Pabst brewery turned into a semi-luxury hotel. Small and not great continental breakfast (bagels, packaged muffins, yogurt/fruit) but otherwise we loved it! Our room even had a small kitchenette so we got kringles and skipped the breakfast other than the coffee and juice!
The restaurant on site was not fabulous - food was okay but expensive and service was lacking. Nice to have outdoor seating but not great if you have to wait 45 minutes for lunch.

Amazing building, great room, in a somewhat dead neighborhood
The building was amazing! The room was great and had everything I needed.
My room was never cleaned and I left the room before 11 every day. Also, my room was kind of annoying to get tho though I suppose that cannot be helped because of the layout.
3 June 2024
Very nice. Would definitely go again.
Location was decent and room was comfortable and clean.
Breakfast could have been more extensive than just a continental breakfast.

Such a fun and interesting weekend~
The hotel was the quietest I have ever been to (as in, we never heard people or city noise) even though we often saw other people, were in the courtyard with them and the restaurant was busy/noisy. But the noise never made its way out of the social areas. The rooms and all of the common areas were really fun to explore and amazing not being cookie cutter furniture/finishes. We all agreed we would enjoy coming back in the future.
My car was broken into the first night we were there and they helped themselves to everything they wanted. It was so close to the front of the hotel and felt safe in an open, well-lit, public space so I wasn't overly concerned with leaving items that we needed the next day, when all of the others arrived. (Yes, I know that wasn't exactly smart). But just a heads up.

Generously appointed suite in charming historic building.
Great location! We walked to Fiserv for Marquette Graduation. The 1 bedroom suite was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchenette was super helpful! A modest breakfast is provided in the lobby. We added to it and made our own breakfast sandwiches on the stovetop in our room. Parking on the street was widely available. Didn’t need to valet or put car in garage for entire 2-night stay.
Can’t think of much - Hairdryer in 310 could use replacement.

Incredible hotel that separates itself from all other Milwaukee hotels.
Incredible rooms, huge, high ceilings, steel from the original Pabst plant, massive window, warm lighting. Excellent, highly professional staff, Continental breakfast. One of the best hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. Exquisite common areas. Incredible overall property and stands out in Milwaukee.
Once you get a couple blocks away the surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy, nothing crazy but a little dubious. The hotel cannot help this. It's safe but a bit weird in pockets.
