Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel [Master Thread]
I see threads about the Sheraton Brookfield Hotel, but none of them are recent and there is no master thread. I am staying here tonight and am pleased to provide a review thus far:
As a platinum guest, I received:
-suite upgrade (booked standard room C+P , $30+1600 pts)
-500 point platinum amenity
-breakfast at the club lounge (starts at 6:30am)
-evening appetizers at the club lounge (5-8pm, various hot foods, cash bar, free soft drinks/water)
-free internet (seems to be free for everyone, regardless of status)
-4pm late checkout was granted
It was easy to get to this hotel from MKE airport.. 17minutes away with no traffic on two freeways. There is a Brookfield mall within a 2 minute walking distance which is convenient for food (food court) and shopping (sears, jc penny, boston store, etc) I received tremendous value from C+P as this hotel was asking for $169+tax for a monday night! I would definitely stay here again as it is only a 12 minute drive on the freeway to downtown milwaukee.

The aloft has a parking charge - "nearby valet parking (10 - 23 USD per day)" The aloft doesn't seem to have many C+P dates available, but you really do pay for being in downtown.
The Sheraton Brookfield has free parking if you dont mind the 12 minute drive to downtown

All true, but don't forget that if you drive downtown, you will probably pay (a lot) for parking.

Alpine Valley
I have stayed at both Brookfield and the aloft "downtown". The aloft is better to get around the city but we will stay at the Sheraton when going to concerts at Alpine Valley. It is like a 20 minute drive and there is little to no traffic going in or out of the venue once you leave the immediate area. Beats a 2 hour drive back to Chicago at midnight. Will be up there again in later June for another concert.
Hotel is nice and reasonably priced. Easy to get in and out of and close to shopping mall if you need to kill some time.

Do be aware that the City of Milwaukee prohibits overnight parking on most city streets. For the most part this isn't well signed and I' pretty regularly see street parked vehicles cited in the downtown area. However, on many non arterials one can obtain a Night Parking Permission merely by entering in the address where the vehicle parked on the parking utilities website before I think 1AM.
Others Im sure can revise and extend.
Cheers.

I have family in the Brookfield area. I've stayed at this property a couple of times... its been about 3 years since the last stay.
Has the the property been remodeled? The last time I stayed I was not impressed with the guest rooms.

When I've stayed here, the rooms in the building to the left and down from the front desk seemed decent. This is the building with the Club Lounge and the key card access top club floor. However, the suite I had in the "main" building (on a signposted club floor that anyone could access) was in bad condition and needed some maintenance in the window area. I've never stayed in the newer building behind the main building that has the small meeting rooms and hospitality suites on the ground level, but I did notice that it seems fresher than the rest of the hotel.
