Hilton Garden Inn

I'm not sure if you remember this, but last December I did photography for the opening of the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Milwaukee. In exchange for doing the opening they gave me a few free nights stay at the hotel. Renée and I finally cashed them in for a birthday a couple weekends ago.  {It was about tie! Those little certificates went through a lot of abuse and moving around. I'm surprised they were still recognizable.} 
We decided to make it a weekend away and roam around the city the whole weekend--pretending we were Milwaukee Carrie Bradshaws.
We arrived on Friday night. After checking in we walked like baffled baffoons up to our room. I had obviously seen my fair share of the hotel before, but it still took me by surprise.
The hotel is in a perfect location downtown. It's right on Broadway and Michigan. A short walk from the Third Ward, Cathedral Square, the lakefront, Water St. It was so easy for us to get from one place to another -- as you'll see.
We relaxed and freshened up a bit and then we went down to the bar for a couple of old fashioneds.  {If you can't tell--it's my favorite drink} Then I took R on a tour of the hotel and we went back to the room to change for Bayview's Gallery Night....
