Really charming historic brewery campus with friendly staff: extremely clean, well designed rooms.
The Pabst buildings are so cleverly restored and used for a variety of purposes. This hotel was across the street from the Pabst Best Place, where we had an event earlier that day. There is also a really cute coffee shop right there which was delicious. We had our own food, so didn't try the restaurants, but there seem to be several options. The room had a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster,, microwave, and stove top. There was lots of storage. The shower was large and the water pressure was great. The bed was very comfortable. There was an interesting magazine which featured some local small businesses. I would have been comfortable staying there a week or longer. It was very quiet and comfortable.
There was no private wifi and the television was small and didn't have a whole lot of channels. There was no dish soap. We found some dish soap to buy downstairs and were mainly doing work in the room, so the TV was fine for us. We used our own hot spots for wifi.

short sentence not needed…. extravagant
This place has so many sites to see around the area and in the buildings. The history behind it and inside that has you comfortably interested to admire.. old humbling textured style. provided us with a soulful experience and draws me back. The buildings designs are so beautiful. And holds its longevity. Must see and experience hands down. The staff are amazing and humble. CLASSY😉☺️
I like and loved the inner history and modern approach to the history it saved inside its walls. I liked the bar/ restaurant was right next door in same building.the local bars are the property are delightful. I liked the staff was so laid back I became personal friends with a few. Have wonderful conversations about the esthetic and availability it provides and simply the respectful privacy.

I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone traveling for business or pleasure - we'll be back!
This was the perfect spot for us - we were able to walk to the Pabst History tour, which was fun and entertaining, the Deer District, and the MKE Public Museum. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and our room was quiet, spacious, and comfortable. We had dinner at the on-site restaurant, On Tap, and the food and service there was excellent.
I honestly cannot think of anything we did not like about this place.

The noise was an annoyance, but the only time it’s been an issue
I have stayed here several times. The room is huge- the interior & lobby are clean and cozy. It’s located in the historic Pabst brewery with fun Pabst & food options adjacent.
Our room was directly above the restaurant (3 floors above it) and thr music and noise were VERY clear until it closed at 2 AM. I have stayed in every area of this hotel- all others are quiet & provaye.

Brewhouse
Loved the history of the building and the bar restaurant attached. It's within walking distance of several terrific breweries. The doors that look like glasses of beer were my favorite!
There wasn't anything I didn't like! It's a little expensive so wouldn't stay often but was fun!!

Excellent stay but parking and breakfast expensive!
Everything!
Valet parking was too expensive. Milwaukee overnight street parking website was overly complicated. Breakfast was not included in room rate.

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.

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.

We had the brunch at the restaurant. The breakfast burrito was pretty good, and very filling.

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.

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.
