Planning on being a first time attendee of the Milwaukee Irish Fest.

Looking for general info about nearby hotels that may still have vacancies. I did look at their website, but got no general sense of where the festival grounds are located in relation to the rest of the city. All other things will take care of themselves (best stages, best pint of Guinness, etc.) but I really want to find a hotel that is convenient to the festival.

Also wondering if any Dallas area Mudcatters will be in attendance, since I have recently relocated away from DFW this past winter (sure did miss NTIF!).
