Econo Lodge Milwaukee Airport

Got what I needed out of it. Ok it is not a five star hotel. I didn't expect that. What I expected was an inexpensive sleep for 6 hours, a shuttle to and from the airport and my vehicle safely parked for 8 days. I got all that. the neighborhood is slight shady but isn't that every big city anymore? I paid a total of $122 to stay overnight, get rides too and from and have my car parked. The cheapest to park for that amount of time would be super saver at $64. So bascially for $60 a got a good nights sleep for a 6:30am flight and a ride too and from.

Be prepared for $100 security deposit It’s a cheap hotel so I didn’t expect much and that’s what I got. The big surprise was the $100 security deposit at checkin. I asked where that was posted on the website. The crabby lady at the front desk said it’s there but most people don’t see it. She said they had a lot of damage recently so that’s the reason. I double checked the website and my confirmation email and still didn’t see it. They gave it back at check out no issues. Of course since they had not seen my room yet there could have been damage and they wouldn’t have known. Also the chain in the door was broken. They have the worlds hardest pillows and shortest thinnest blankets and the worlds worst painters. Shower curtain hangs over the toilet. Breakfast is a few donuts and bad coffee. I won’t be back

Overpriced for what it is If you're looking for a high quality stay, this ain't it. I would not recommend staying here for more than one night, or staying with kids. The hotel needs a serious upgrade. Creaky floors. Moist carpet. A thin film of grime on everything. Barely clean room. Knicks, stains, and scratches on everything. Food residue on the window sill and water stains on surfaces. Tub that won't drain properly. Mine still had standing water at check in. Only two sad, frumpy pillows on each bed. Weird layout. Strange smells, mostly musty. Just overall old and not in the best condition. The hair dryer looked like a fire hazard but I tried it anyway and it nearly exploded while I was using it. Shot out plastic and started sparking and scared me to death with it being that close to my face and head. That being said, it IS an Econo Lodge. You're not staying at the Hilton, or even the Hilton Garden Inn. The beds were comfortable and clean. No bugs seen at all. The A/C worked. Good water pressure and hot water even with the hotel fully booked. The blackout curtains work really well. Polite staff, even if they aren't the friendliest. Decent location. They, however, have no business charging the rates they have for what you get. This is a $79.99/night hotel, tops, on the weekend. It's on the edge of being a motel. If you're a Choice member, I wouldn't waste the 12,000 points either. If you just need to sleep or you're desperate and nothing else is available or you need to catch an early flight, it's ok. Otherwise, I recommend you explore your options. BEWARE THE HAIR DRYERS!

Clean Room, Friendly Staff & Convenient Location After reading reviews on numerous sites and then after my stay I felt compelled to write a review. The staff were polite. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean. The airconditioner worked well. The bed was well made and comfortable. The location is very convenient for the airport. They offer a free shuttle to the airport with parking at the hotel. Overall I was very pleased. I read some horror story reviews but after rereading them I think the bad reviewers had their expectations set way too high. In a situation like mine, I needed a place to sleep for the night so I could catch an early flight. This met and actually exceeded my expectations.

WORST PLACE I'VE EVER STAYED AT NOT SURE HOW THIS PLACE IS STILL OPEN This is clearly the WORST hotel I have ever stayed at. Right from the start things were bad and only declined from there. The room smelled awful, fridge had black stuff in the bottom and toilet wouldn't work. It had a plastic bag filled with water acting as a float in the tank and it wasn't working. The lamp on the desk had no lightbulb. No coffee pot in the room. When I went to the front desk to inform of the problems, the woman was less than helpful. Decided to change my room. The second wasn't much better. Carpet was old and filthy, had not been vacuumed in some time. The bathroom floor was sticky, furniture very old and grimy and very outdated. The drapes were old and so thread bare that light came through them. A bit later into the stay found out the bathroom sink was leaking underneath from the water supply line, making the floor very wet every time I used the sink. The fixture above the sink was coated in grime and rust. I couldn't connect to the internet the whole time I was there. There was no HBO as stated and all of the TV channels were out of sync. The continental breakfast consisted of coffee, donuts and oatmeal. No plates, bowls or napkins were available. The room I was given was down 3 very long hallways, when checking out and I questioned this, because there were clearly MANY rooms available closer to the front. I was told it was because I was staying for a week. WTH difference did that make? The closer rooms were saved for nightly stays. There definitely wasn't a line waiting to check in. The entire week I was there I didn't see a housekeeping cart, not once. I was told that cleaning services were provided on Thursday and Monday. I stopped at the desk to inform them I didn't want service on the one day, because my Do Not Disturb sign had disappeared twice. When I returned to my room that night, someone was clearly in my room. There were towels all over the bathroom floor. Overall the hotel is old and dirty and staff is less than pleasant. Fortunately, I didn't see any bugs or rodents as others had mentioned. If I hadn't prepaid as part of my travel package, I would have left and found somewhere else to stay. I really wish I would have researched the reviews better before booking. I'm sure management will comment like they have on other reviews, apologizing for the horrible stay, then promising things will be better. Well...looking at the reviews and many dating back a couple years, they obviously haven't done anything to correct all of these issues. The city really needs to shut this place down. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
