Hi all.

I will be going on a trip near the Bradley Center later this year. Can anyone recommend some upscale hotels near there? Also, feel free to throw in some local bike shops too... :D

Thanks.

I used to live a few blocks away from Badley center... all i can help with is shops.
Cory the bike fixer http://www.corythebikefixer.com/ about 10mins away
Crank Daddy's http://www.crankdaddys.com/ few blocks from Cory's

enjoy!

I'm too 'low rent' to help you.

Hip? Where are 'ya ... you drive a Mercedes!

Well you got the bike shop info here are a few hotels. Both of these hotels are smaller non-chain hotels. http://www.hotelmetro.com/ and http://www.countyclare-inn.com/index.html. Hope this helps they are not right next door to Bradly Center, but I would rather stay at one of these compared to what is right next door. If you need anymore help with food or things to do just ask. I was stuck in Rockford for three weeks, well stuck might be a little rough, but away from the bike and spinning class.

Hotel Metro is nice. Other options you have:

The Pfister (http://www.pfisterhotel.com/hotel_overview/hotel_overview.asp)
The InterContinental (http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ic/1/en/hotel/mkewi?&rel=nofollow&firstpoint=dcb1&cm_mmc=CJ-_-1937144-_-2700396-_-9%25+Product+Catalog&PID=2700396)

The InterContinental is, I think, the closest "upscale" hotel to the Bradley Center. However, Hotel Metro or the Pfister would be better IMHO. Most of the visiting teams and bands/artists stay at the Pfister.

For bike shops, Cory's and Crank Daddy's are fine. Another option would be Ben's Cycle (http://www.benscycle.net/) -- especially if you're into fixed gears! Unfortunately, there really are not any bike shops in Milwaukee itself other than those three. If you're willing to go into the 'burbs, there's a few other options.

+1 ! :)

Thanks!

Looks like Hotel Metro is the winner.

Bike Forums saves the day. :D
