And using Priecline or Hotwire will get you a good 3*+ hotel for $35-50 in most areas of Milwaukee.

If you are coming in to visit Milwaukee around the Holidays the one and only place to stay is the Magnificent Pfister Hotel!! There is no place like it in Milwaukee especially around the Holidays when we have our Christmas Tree Display in the Lobby where you can sip hot drinks by the Fireplace-it truly is incredible!! If you have any questions or need helping setting up a reservation I would be more than happy to take care of you and your Wife-I can be your personal Concierge for your trip!! Please feel free to email me at staceymandich@thepfisterhotel.com-Look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan for your visit!!
