Why Concert-goers love it

Microwaves and fridges in every room make it easy to store and reheat leftovers. Breakfast is available on-site, which is perfect if you're not an early riser after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel isn’t a nightlife hub itself, it’s just a short ride from Milwaukee’s best bars, clubs, and live music venues. Whether you're pre-gaming before the concert or looking for a nightcap afterward, downtown options are easily accessible.

Place to rest

Liked: The breakfast buffet has many options. Friendly staff. the airport shuttle.was great no waiting long from or to airport. I like that they don't clean the room every day .The noise level from outside was minimal being so close to the airport and not here in the planes coming and going
Disliked: The carpets need to be replaced and clean and some of the subfloor was warped in the room I was in 266., also there was a dip in the floor in the room. The elevator also needs a button to show #1 and way too far from the lobby.The yogurt bar was good but I didn't like that the spoons were left on the counter in front of the toppings.No receipt was given on check.

Aweful!

Liked: This is the MOST aweful hotel i’ve ever seen. Room smells cigarettes, carpets dirty- needs massive cleaning, windows dirty a very old vinyl blinds. Missing evelator button, everything in this hotel needs a massive cleaning or updating. Did not stay in the hotel because the room was unacceptable. Asked for a refund and property denied. Manager is no way to communicate- ghost! Lesson, read the reviews before booking this hotel.
Disliked: Everything. Hotel needs a massive cleaning

Pleasant

Liked: The staff. There was a payment issues with booking.com not showing the Hotel I had paid in advance but when I tell you all 4 staff helped to figure it out. They didn't make us wait they gave us our keys n even called the room to check on us. The pool area is decent.
Disliked: It was kinda like online dating...and by that i mean it looked nothing like the pictures. It did but just expect it to be run down. Located right across the airport so for a one night stay this is the place for you. The free breakfast was horrible...I'm sorry but it is not good.

Unfortunately, disappointed due to the...

Liked: We were able to check out quickly. Was somewhat close to our events.
Disliked: Room was on first floor despite requesting room off of the first floor. Room smelled like chlorine due to pool and room was adjoining to strangers next to us. Could hear other guests in the pool at all times.

Nice hotel

Liked: The cleaning ladies were very nice !
