Red Lotus Inn

Comfortable & Convenient Stay Near Milwaukee’s Music Scene

Modern and budget-friendly, Red Lotus Inn offers a no-fuss stay just south of downtown Milwaukee. Located only 6.1 miles from Miller Park and 7.1 miles from Marquette University, this 3-star hotel keeps you close to the city's top concert venues without the downtown price tag. With free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and multilingual staff (English, Spanish, Gujarati, and Hindi), it's a welcoming spot for music lovers on the go.

Why Concert-goers love it

Red Lotus Inn’s location makes it easy to enjoy a show and get back without the hassle. You’re within 15 minutes of major venues like Miller Park and the Pitman Theater, and the hotel is just 3.1 miles from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport—perfect for out-of-town fans flying in. The quiet, suburban setting means you’ll get a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. With a 2:00 PM check-in and 11:30 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility for pre-show naps or a slow morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base
• Solo travelers in town for a long-awaited concert
• Couples making a weekend of live music and local exploring
• Fans who prefer a quieter recovery spot after a loud night
• Anyone watching their travel budget without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While Red Lotus Inn doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s located within easy driving distance of plenty of local diners, fast food, and late-night eats. You’ll find options nearby that serve breakfast even after a slow start, and food delivery apps work great here for post-show snacking in your room.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel—and that’s part of its charm. But if you’re looking to keep the night going, downtown Milwaukee’s bars and clubs are a short ride away. Whether you want to hit a rooftop bar or find a chill lounge, you’ll find it all within a quick 15-minute drive.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms and call out the friendly, helpful staff as a highlight. Reviewers also appreciate the easy access to the airport and local venues, making it a smart pick for concert weekends. The value for money is frequently praised, especially for fans who just need a good place to sleep.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors note that the hotel is fairly basic—don’t expect luxury touches or a buzzing lobby bar. The location is suburban, so having a car (or a rideshare app) is helpful for getting to restaurants or venues.

The Bottom Line

Red Lotus Inn is a quiet, affordable, and convenient home base for concert-goers who want to focus on the music—not the hotel bill.
