Tips for People at AMWA 2010 in Milwaukee

by Faith Reidenbach

I know all you writers are wondering, “How much is the WiFi?” From the sleeping rooms in the Hilton, it’s $9.95. You can enter a credit card (not recommended on an unsecured network), or call down to the front desk for a password and the fee will be charged to your room. WiFi is free in the lobby of the Hilton and in the Starbucks that’s inside that hotel.

Need some bottled water or Band-Aids and don't want to pay gift shop prices? There’s a Walgreens inside The Shops at Grand Avenue, a 3-level shopping mall that’s a short walk from the hotel. There’s also a large food court there. The main entrance to the mall is at Wisconsin and Third but you can enter through the Boston Store, a department store that’s visible from the street that runs between the Hilton and the convention center.

Don’t forget that AMWA has posted a Milwaukee Dining Guide at
