The Fairfield Inn turned out to be a wonderful place to stay for two nights during a downtown festival in Milwaukee. It's technically in West Milwaukee, but it's an easy 10 too 12 minute drive to the lakefront, close to Cathedral Square, and near the restaurant/gallery district. The price is a bit on the high side, but everything in Milwaukee was expensive during Bastille Days, so we were satisfied. And the accommodations were excellent, as was the very helpful staff.
