The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Milwaukee Airport Hotel & Conference Center

Relaxed Comfort Near the Milwaukee Airport

Modern, reliable, and surprisingly quiet, the Best Western Plus Milwaukee Airport Hotel & Conference Center offers concert-goers a practical and comfortable stay just 15 minutes from downtown Milwaukee's biggest music venues. Located directly across from General Mitchell International Airport, it's a smart choice whether you're flying in for the show or driving in from nearby towns. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffee makers—perfect for winding down after a high-energy night out. Add an indoor pool, fitness center, and free WiFi, and you’ve got everything you need for a smooth and relaxed concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a win if you're looking to stay close to the airport or want a quick Uber ride into downtown Milwaukee for your show. After the encore, head back to a quieter part of the city for a restful night. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle from 4:15am to 1:00am, which is a huge plus for late-night arrivals or early departures. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, you'll have a comfortable window to settle in and sleep off the post-concert buzz.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly stay with plenty of space
  • Solo travelers flying in to see a favorite artist
  • Couples planning a weekend music escape
  • Fans seeking a quieter retreat after a wild night at the venue
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing convenience

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t boast a full-service restaurant, it’s close to several walkable dining options, including fast food and casual eateries—great for grabbing a bite after a show. 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.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, friendly staff, and easy airport access. Many reviews mention the convenience of the free shuttle service and the overall value for the price. The hotel is noted for being quiet and restful—a definite plus after a loud night of live music.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit dated in decor, and a few mention minor maintenance issues. But most agree that the hotel is clean and comfortable where it counts.

The Bottom Line

A solid, no-fuss option for concert-goers flying in or looking to stay close to the airport with easy access to Milwaukee’s music scene.

Superb

Liked: At every turn throughout our stay, which had to be modified due to weather delays, the entire staff at the Best Western Plus Milwaukee Airport Hotel was most helpful in their response to our requests. Thank you.

Good stay, bad outlets!

Liked: The staff was awesome. The restaurant was excellent and the room was very clean.
Disliked: It's very dated. There was a huge gap under my door that allowed light to flood in. Had to roll up a towel to block it. Sound wise, I could hear every single step that was made in the room above me. The outlets both in the walls and the lamp beside the bed are so stretched out that I had to bend the prongs on my chargers and laptop just to keep a connection without hearing that sizzling sound. Fire hazard for sure.

Terrible and gross experience with...

Liked: sheets and bathroom clean
Disliked: The elevators smelled so bad like sewer that we did not leave the room, and to checkout we carried our bags down the stairs. Walking past the pool was gross, carpets near a pool area horrid idea, it was moist all over. The room carpet was unclean and had stains and had huge patch damaged right by the bed. It is shocking the price paid for such a hotel. We will never book here again

STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE NOT HERE...

Liked: Nothing at all. I have been coming there. For the last 8 to 10 years. This place has really gone down real bad.
Disliked: My room was not clean. I had to go and get keys three different times.. the only hotel in the world . That if your room key goes anywhere near your phone or Apple Watch. It deactivate your key.. the breakfast is horrible. The staff that’s doing the breakfast doesn’t understand any English. Worst breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. They should Just stop the breakfast at this point. I used to love this place. We won’t be coming back EVER!!!!!
