Second time I stayed at this hotel while waiting for a flight out of Milwaukee. While the room was not the Ritz, it was a decent room at a good price. The staff up front was very helpful and the free breakfast was a plus. No, it was not the Hampton Inn but it was also half the price.

We recently spent two non-consecutive nights here on a trip to Milwaukee.

Night 1 was on Friday - we arrived late and wanted a hotel nearby. The room was clean and looked fairly newly remodeled, although it did smell like someone had been smoking in it. We had a full size bed - not sure why hotels don't make a queen size standard. We went out to grab some food & returned around 1 am - I called down to the front desk to get the access code (wireless is free, but you do need a code) - and it rang 3 times, and then someone answered and hung up. I thought it was in error, but I called back and let it ring 20x and no one answered. I waited 5 minutes and tried again - same result. Breakfast was fine - bagels, muffins, yogurt, coffee was pretty decent.

Night 2 was Sunday - we returned as we had a 6 am flight. Their website indicated they had an airport shuttle - this is NOT a hotel-run shuttle. You have to go through Airport Connect (similar to Super Shuttle) and it's $8 each way. For our early flight they said they would have to pick us up at 3:30 am - even though we were less than 2 miles away! We had to return our rental car Sunday night - we assumed the hotel could just come pick us up. Instead, we ended up taking a taxi and dealing with a driver who complained about the short trip & overcharged us. We took a taxi back in the morning because the shuttle was just too much hassle.

Overall the hotel was fine - staff was very friendly. When we checked in Sunday we said we'd be leaving before breakfast & she said to ask the clerk in the morning & she could probably grab us something if we wanted.

However, the lack of a shuttle will probably prevent us from staying here again. If you have a car, then this place would be fine. There's also a restaurant/bar next door that is open late.

This is not my first time staying at this hotel. It is very clean and close to General Mitchell Airport. A great value if you have an early flight out.

The hotel is very dated, but it is kept mostly clean. Except for the fact that someone was obviously smoking in their rooms and this seemed to fill our room with a lovely cigarette smell.

Where do I start? The room, is clean, old style television with cable, coffee machine, desk. The bed, is... different. Small pillows & see through sheets- they're that worn. Stained mattress... not that nice to be honest.

The room itself was quite roomy with decent space, not the best heating system when travelling in the winter, but it was generally quiet which was a good thing. Free Wi-Fi was pretty poor, it took ages to connect and kept re-connecting, the signal was bad. And don't expect to have two windows running at the same time - not very fast!

Breakfast-is awful. If you're staying more than a day, expect to be paying for somewhere else for breakfast like iHop. You get the choice of boiled egg, toaster waffles, bagles or awful pastries. The cereal selection is Frosties & Raisen Bran. Thats it... and - only the bagles were half decent.

There is a 'Business Centre'; aka one computer and a printer. Which was out of service for 4 of the 7 nights we stayed in the hotel.

There is a small 'gym' - 2 tredmills, we didn't use it but it seemed decent enough.

Car parking is ample and the location is ok if you have a car and want to drive about. It's about 15/20 mins from downtown.

I personally wouldnt stay here again. It wasn't the worst hotel I've ever stayed in, but it sure was one of the bad ones. Days Inn? ... more like Days out!
