The Trade, Autograph Collection

Location: The hotel's proximity to Fiserv Forum is a major advantage, especially for guests attending events there. It is conveniently located for concert-goers and sports fans, offering easy access to nearby attractions and venues.

The Trade Autograph Collection by Marriott in downtown Milwaukee is an experience. A hotel with a lot of history and charisma. This area of downtown is on the edge of the Third Ward … busy with a younger crowd especially on the weekends or gamedays…this is the area to be!  After being greeted at the front desk and checking in we were eager to see our rooms. The elevator takes a room key and must be tapped to be used…both going up and down! My room was located near the 8th floor. Room key again, opened the door. The room is small as I had a king size bed but well planned. The bathroom was very nice, the lighting was bright and harsh. I was very happy with the comfort of the beds as well as the pillows.  The staff throughout this hotel was courteous, helpful, and friendly. Not pretentious. There are places to eat and drink in this hotel. I found them to be worth the expense. There were a lot of events the weekend we were there. The lobby area can be very crowded. Parking is very expensive - definitely not free!  When getting around outside the hotel it is best to walk or take public transportation.  If you need to stay downtown, or have an event nearby, experience The Trade Autograph Collection in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Checked in around 5 PM and was given a room that immediately had a major issue—a loud, high-pitched frequency coming from the bathroom area that made the room completely intolerable and disruptive. The second room itself was uncomfortably warm, the beds were hastily or barely made, and overall, it was surprising to see how worn and tired everything looked—especially considering the property is only a few years old. More concerning, there was a used razor, tons of hair and other debris scattered across the floor. At that point, I stopped inspecting the room. Highly unsanitary and disgusting! Avoid at all costs!
