I enjoyed the room. I found a great restaurant nearby. Made a cup of coffee in the morning. I was offered donuts and could fee, but I’m not a sweets guy.

Pace was much nicer than I had expected , all the renovations seem to be making a big difference.

My room was better than I expected in every regard. This is still a motel (bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper) but I’d stay here again and again!

The place was dark and small corridors. There was a portable AC in the room, no trash cans, shower walls had stuff stuck to them. We got charged $20 to park in there parking lot.The "breakfast" was dunken donuts set up in a dark hallway! When our uber drove us back she told us it was a hooker hotel. Definitely do not recommend this place.

Looks like they are doing some renovations. I thought my room was great. Great location. Might go to the top of the list for places to stay when I go to Milwaukee.

For the price you are paying, this hotel is acceptable. Room and bathroom were clean, there was no smell. It was very quiet at night, but I could see it having the potential to be noisy. Under 2 miles to downtown which is convenient. It's a 10 minute walk to the Ambassador Hotel which is much nicer, but costs at least twice as much.

Nice neighborhood

Pros: Staff was friendly, very welcoming, comfy bed, placed smelled of incense (i liked it), had working fridge and microwave, very clean
Cons: layout would have been very confusing to find our room if not explained to us when we checked in, some water damage on shelf under tv, a lamp not even plugged in and no electric socket to plug into, bathroom light outside of bathroom (was fun when roomie turned off the lights on me while i was in bathroom), no dead bolt for door (just regular lock ontop of card lock)

So I have never been to Milwaukee before. I was looking online for hotels and I made sure not to choose the cheapest hotel I could find but I also wasn't wanting the most expensive hotel either. I found one that was a median price. When we got there, it didn't say anything about it being in a rougher part of the city. You had to get buzzed into the front desk, there were some sketchy guys out in the parking lot eye balling us as we walked back to our vehicle and one of them started cat calling me. Then we walk up to our room and the room next to us had what looked to be a homeless person in there with the door open doing some shady things. I felt very unsafe and uncomfortable. When we got into the room it smelled horribly of cigarettes and just dark and depressing. I laid on the bed and it was the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever laid on. I just looked at my bf with dread in my face and said "I don't want to stay here". So we were there maybe less than 5 mins. We walked back to the front desk and checked out. I called hotel.com to get a refund since I had already paid for 2 nights. I was hoping to at least get the second night refunded. They couldn't refund us any of the money. When I finally got to talk to customer service, they said they would send me a $75 credit on the expedia app which I never recieved. I typically don't bother with reviews. But this experience was so bad I felt I needed to.

You get what you pay for. The area is not good but if you lock your doors, drive or uber, and dont want around st night youll be fine. The staff were amazing and did a really great job going above and beyond. The location is a quick drive or uber away from everywhere youll want to be. Id absolutely stay here again.
My only complaint was our room faced the well lit street, and the curtains were jot black out so it felt like day time all the time, and the matress protector is plastic making for a very hot sleep.

Well, I can tell you... I was shocked. I got room #103 with a king bed. It was great! The room has been recently remodeled. The bed is super soft and comfortable. My room came equipped with an electric fireplace, flat panel TV on the wall, microwave, and small fridge. The ambiance of the room was spot on... Hardwood floors, modern updated fixtures. It has to be one of the nicest and freshest looking bathrooms, I've visited in a long time of staying in different places. Great job. My stay there was very private and quiet. Parking & surveillance was up and running. Great & helpful staff. McDonald's, The Rave / Eagle Club a few blocks down. Recommend a safe liquor store about 0.4 miles away. Reasonable price to stay, well worth it. Not recommend to walk around, or to places... For your safety. Anyways, everything was perfect and spot on. I would have no hesitations staying there again .

First off, read many reviews before booking our stay but rooms looked nice & needed close to Brewers stadium for night. Cheap room for 1 night.
Yes, you pay for parking in lot. States in the hotel notes but there's side street parking. Neighborhood is questionable but a cheaper option. When coming back to hotel back parking lot, cone was blocked to enter lot. Front desk watched as we physically moved cone to move vehicle in back lot.
Check in was slow, appeared like a family with with 2 people handling each person's check in. Didn't explain parking, where anything was located. Found strange that both prior check- in & myself had to remind for either identification or credit cards back.
Room looked decorated no-tell motel. No dresser or anyplace to place overnight bags. Just small side table. Ceiling fan light bulb had no cover. No notes or welcome on how to use floor a/c unit, where to find food, ice or even local menu's. Upon talking to front desk, found they sell canned sodas for $1.50.
Floor a/c unit had no instructions on how to use. Shortly after arrival, starting leaking water on floor. Used hotel towels to mop up water. Front desk did come quickly once informed but placed room trash can & more towels around as solution. 5am wake up to it turning itself off & very sweaty warm room.
Towels in room look like personal collection or ones I could've bought at store or from home. Bedding was soft & smelled clean but pillows were small. No coffee in room or lobby!!!

I was extremely upset. I should have done more research!!!! $20 parking which I declined when I said I would park on the street. He said I could get a ticket. But there was free parking overnight Saturday to Sunday. Which he knew and was upset he didn’t get that extra sale for unnecessary parking. They don’t close the gates so it’s not like it is “secured” parking at all. The room definitely didn’t look like it was swept. There was cigarette burns on the tv stand. And it was super oily and gross feeling. The bathroom didn’t have a trash can so if you needed to dispose of feminine hygiene products you had to put them in the one trash can in the open area by the beds. There was a $50 deposit fee they charge when you get there. They refused to check the room and refund it to me when we checked out. It is still sitting in my account not refunded yet. He then asked me if I was going to be coming out to smoke. Which I found very odd. Why would they want/need to know if I will be walking outside to smoke? The area is pretty janky. I will definitely not be staying there again. The air conditioner is a portable unit they rigged up with a hose that goes out the window and they just taped that up and the open area from the window being open to accommodate that.

Dangerous feel with plenty of music bumping marijuana smelling areas of the rear parking lot and hallway. Laid my head down, slept as best I could and checked out before 8am to get out of there. Not good for families or people that care about their safety.

The staff was incredibly rude to another guest right in front of my group. Wouldn’t let my bf check in so we couldn’t stay at all. Hidden fees of $120 extra for parking for 4 days. Place was literally disgusting and we didn’t even get to see the room. The lobby had straight up piles of dirt. Rejected the stay bc it’s gross and they won’t refund it. Had to go somewhere else last minute and pay double. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE ITS NOT WORTH SAVING THE EXTRA BUCK.

Had booked a reservation through Expedia on July 22nd for a stay on August 4th. I get there to check in roughly about 3:15pm or so on August 4th. I had my confirmation code handy and ready to check in. Apparently they didn’t have the room I booked on file. Not sure if this was Expedia or the Village Inn. But not off to a good start, especially when I traveled out of state to get there. Fast forward after some initial frustrations, we do a walk-in and they charge me $160 (included a 50 dollar deposit). We got a room on floor level. Room was clean, bed was made and bathroom was in good condition. Turns out the door to the room (102 to be exact) doesn’t lock from the outside. We were on a time crunch so figured we’ll just put our stuff back in the car and keep it with us. After we got back, thankfully the room locked from the inside. But in addition to the walls being paper thin and a bunch of noise happening throughout the night. Needless to say, not a good stay. Fast forward to checking out, that was probably the only smooth part of this stay. And come to find out they charged me another 95 dollars after the fact, which leads me to believe they had my original reservation all along :)

The area is not safe! The rooms are easily broken into. I would avoid it next time I visit Milwaukee

Definitely an okay place for a one or two nights stay, especially if you're looking for stuff to do around the area. It felt a little lower quality on some things though, so any longer than that and I might have stayed stay somewhere else.

First off, this is in a terrible area in town. The walls in this are so thin you can hear everything. I was woken up many times. The room smelt like old cigarettes and I found hairs that weren't mine in the bed. The room is clearly repainted but not well. My tv didnt work also. They charged me for parking the day of and to check in early. Tried contacting them to check in early and was never contacted back through the number they had on their voicemail.

Made me pay an early check in fee and parking fee because I used Expedia to book and not their website.

Should not have to call a number from a written sign on the door to check in.

Property has been recently renovated so everything looked clean and fresh but the place isn't it the greatest neighbourhood and we were advised not to walk at night and take a taxi. The curtains were very light and didn't block out the lights outside so we asked for a second blanket to cover window for second night. The area was very quiet at night but the fridge made a startling noise every hour or 2 that made us think someone was trying to get in our room. There was no safety latch on door only a deadbolt.

It was good. The guy at the front desk was awesome! The Security Guard, in the morning, who took my card was sleeping. It's an older hotel, but if you like that more historical experience it was unique.

The price is fantastic. Room is updated and clean. No elevator or ice machine. Under renovation. Neighborhood is a little dicey. Close to casino.

Didn't like that my reservation was moved to the "sister" hotel without my knowing. No shuttle to the venue, which was now 5 miles further and not within walking distance. Electricity went out and they couldn't get the power restored to our room. Not impressed!!!

The price I paid from expedia was much more than the amount posted for the room. And the amount paid by the guests served right before me as even lower than that.

After reading some of the awful stories I thought I was in for a sketchy experience. That was not the case at all. Sure it's not in the most desired area or town, but it's close enough to some things to do.
I want to commend the new owners for really flipping this place into a great place for a budget friendly stay in Milwaukee.
They did a great job upgrading from what it used to be. I was concerned about the smoking people kept hammering the hotel for but I did not notice any smell. The water that even the hotel acknowledges takes a bit to warm up got hot quick and had great pressure.
I think over time if all rooms are renovated and fixed up you're having a great affordable place.

Didn’t stay. Place was nasty. Owner agreed to refund money. Front desk clerk charged my account twice. Going through my bank to get credits back. Huge mess.

They advertise there new property on Expedia instead of their property only. Confused us when we arrived. Gentlemen didn’t bother to pay attention to the reservation as we were given two queens. I had to go back and get it fix. If your front desk had communicated better, the visit would of been better.
They are also remodeling and there’s no ice machine but they have ice buckets? Defeats the purpose.

There’s an undisclosed $20 parking fee to use their lot if you book through any method other than direct.
