Nice bedding, tv. Pool area dirty, no towels, mildew buildup in the hot tub. Restaurant permanently closed, no shuttle service, the van was rusted out and had an expired license plate. Front desk personnel not at all cordial. Nothing near the hotel to do, restaurants > 1.5 miles away.

As soon as you walked in the hotel it smelled not good.Person at the front desk talking on phone with a personal call and very unprofessional. Bathrooms were small and not updated. The amount we paid for the hotel breakfast should have been included and not have to pay extra for breakfast. Will not stay here again.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff at the hotel was superb. The room was comfortable, although they might want to check about getting a new bed. One day my room did not get cleaned, but towels were brought up to me. The breakfast is a mess!!!! I didn't go down this morning because I just couldn't face the tables not being cleaned off or cleaned. The floor being dirty. Hot water wasn't hot and tasted like coffee. Just a horrible experience.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel over a weekend for a Brewers game. It was close to the stadium about a 10-minute ride. There's a nice outdoor beer garden within walking distance. The only thing I was disappointed with was I was hoping to use the hot tub and it was quite murky so we passed.

I’ve stayed at this property on more than one occasion since 2018. You can tell that the property care and cleanliness is decreasing. Cigarette butts all over in front of the property. As stated by one of the employees we only make coffee in the morning once it’s gone we’re done for the day which is unlike most Holiday Inn properties. They no longer have lunch or dinner served as an option which is a decline. I like Hoilday Inn properties but I think I will choose somewhere else’s to stay when I visit Milwaukee next time.

Not a very clean place

The room was not very clean. There were long dust/cobweb strings from the ceiling above the bed by the window. The bathroom sink area was definitely not wiped down well. The bath towels had hairs embedded in them. The large mirror had big streaks. The desk area was dusty. Definitely overpriced for the lack of attention.
