Amazing bargain!

A clean, inexpensive ($50/night) motel near the airport. The only improvement would be if the continental breakfast had fresh fruit in addition to juice. Friendly staff, comfy beds, everything was clean. Highly recommended. We used the parking during our trip, and it was very convenient, at the same price as the super saver, $5 per night.

Econo Lodge Stay

I found the manager, Mr. Sam Patel, at this motel to be very helpful. Some confusion existed with my booking and he helped get it rectified. He also helped with extra blankets. He was very helpful and prompt.

Nice day getaway

The people in the next room were loud and when I was checking out the person behind the counter didn't even acknowledge me until I coughed otherwise the room was decent.

I enjoyed my stay

I was in Milwaukee for business and stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. The staff was very accommodating and the room was clean. It is located within easy access to the freeways. I would recommend staying here.

Garbage can surprises

First - arrived around 11:30 p.m.(due to extreme snow storm) - hotel staff (of one/only available person) was totally stressed out. Very rude. Ok, arrived to room. Daughter became sick, so I quickly grabbed the garbage can that was located under the desk. BAD CHOICE. - obviously the cleaners forgot to empty it. As my daughter lifted it towards her face, there sat a USED CONDOM. how nasty. Told front desk folks in morning as I departed around 5:00 a.m. - let my daughter sleep and got out there as soon as the roads started to get plowed. Front desk person - said sorry. That's it. No refund or coupon (not that I would go back there, but it is the courtesy thought that counts) I WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. I HEAR ABOUT NASTY THINGS IN ROOM'S, BUT THIS BEAT THEM ALL.

Perfect for night before flight

Motel was clean and friendly. Very economical for a place to stay before an early am flight. Perfect for stay, parking available at motel while we were gone, shuttle to and from airport was very convenient. Continental breakfast was just right for a light snack before a flight.

You get what you pay for!!!

The place was under construction and the construction that was finished was done on a budget. We stayed 2 nights. The heater didn't work in the room the first night and the tile in the bathroom literally moved under your feet. The room we had the second night was much better...until the next morning when we found a half eaten cookie just under the bed.
