If you want to stay in the city... (not much of a city if you ask me) Your choices would be: Hyatt Regency Hilton Wyndham Marriott - Courtyard All could be had for under 100.00 per night by utilizing orbitz, expedia etc... Don't get your hopes up re: Milwaukee, it is pretty pathetic to be honest with you. That being said, Cubs Baseball and hot summer nights are always a good time :) Enjoy bro! Thanks, CCF! Although I'm a Cards fan (and I'm a gal) and I'm sure many would agree Milwaukee is not too unlike STL. The lowest price our group found for a "reputable hotel" was $140 (normally $180) for Residence Inn and that was on Priceline. I would be surprised if we could do better with the places you named. Hmmm...suprising, not knowing the dates you will be in town, I ran a quick check on hotels.com and found the majority of the hotels downtown to be around 120.00+ If you don't mind being 15 minutes away from downtown, you could always stay off I94 in Brookfield. Several nice hotels for around 100 could be had. Good Luck sista! :)
