If you’ve got your motor runnin’, ready to head out on the highway, looking for adventure … you might be thinking that cheap hostels in Milwaukee may come your way for your last-minute getaway. But if bunk-bedding it isn’t on your list of must-haves for your upcoming trip, there’s another accommodation option that can get you way more with even wilder savings.

An affordable Milwaukee hostel may be a great way to hang with fellow travelers and to hold onto some change for the road, but why not get a smidgen of privacy (and your own bathroom) and book a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel instead?
