Cambria Welcomes First Hotel in Milwaukee

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambria Hotels, an upscale brand franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc.

This milestone was celebrated with an Oktoberfest-themed event, a nod to the region's history and Cambria's signature local craft beer program.
