Your Trip to Milwaukee

If you're coming by air:

General Mitchell airport is about 15 mins from downtown, across the bay. Really convenient. Click on "Getting to and From"
Remember to take Midwest Express airlines. All seats are first class and they usually serve chocolate chip cookies on the way.

If you're coming from Chicago, don't drive unless you absolutely must. Take an Amtrak train. You'll be here in 1.5 hours from Union Station and it's a lovely ride.
 
Convenient hotels downtown are: Hotel Metro (Modern, art deco), Wyndham Milwaukee Center on Wells Street, or the Pfister (beautiful historic hotel).

Our espionage theme nightclub is called The Safe House. and it's located a few blocks from these hotels.
