Great downtown location

Local area shuttle

Negative Reviews

Outdated rooms
A few guests have mentioned that the Milwaukee Athletic Club is a little dated. The furniture that is found in the rooms is quite old and this wasn't appreciated by some of these guests. The property's hallways could also use a fresh coat of paint, according to guests.
negative:
Bathroom problems
Numerous guests have reported issues with the bathrooms at the hotel. Some of these guests have said that there wasn't much water pressure, while others noticed that the hot water would run out. Overall, the plumbing at the hotel could probably use an upgrade, according to guests.
negative:
Facilities aren't co-ed
There have been some complaints that the pool and fitness facilities aren't co-ed, so guests can swim or work out with their significant others. Even children over the age of four must stay within their designated areas, which was a hassle for many families.
