What guests think

Reviews of Travelodge by Wyndham Milwaukee are highly mixed, with recurring complaints about dirty rooms, strong odors, broken fixtures, and unsecured patio doors, while positives highlight friendly staff, a convenient freeway and airport location, occasional quiet nights, and low prices.

Cleanliness is a common complaint, including dirty bathrooms and linens, strong odors, and trash in common areas, though a minority describe clean rooms and comfortable beds. The property feels very dated, with repeated maintenance problems (TVs, plumbing, AC, phones) and reports of sliding patio doors that are hard to use or don’t secure; the on-site bar/restaurant receives mixed feedback and free breakfast is often not available. Staff are frequently praised as friendly, but housekeeping and check-in responsiveness vary, and several guests felt the building and surroundings were not very secure or quiet. Expect a budget stay where price and location may suit brief stops if you accept significant trade-offs in upkeep and environment.

The reviews online say "unsafe" repeatedly, and boy is that accurate! My advice, DO NOT COME HERE AFTER DARK! Lets get down to the core of the issue here; the bar. Open to the public, this super low end dive bar attracts the crowd you hear about on the Monday morning news. We were greeted in the parking lot by bar patrons sitting on their cars openly drinking and smoking pot, giving us the ultimate "you don't belong here" stare down as they followed us over to where we parked our car. Gangster rap music was on full blast, quite literally shaking the walls of the hotel, coming from inside the bar and out! The room was disgusting, flies everywhere in the bathroom, I wouldn't wash my dog in the shower (and there's PLENTY of dogs on the property!) The furniture has cigarette burns everywhere, the carpet had literal blood stains, there was some sort of animal nest on the balcony, and there was cigarette ash in all the drawers in the room. If you have kids, DO NOT STAY HERE.

I booked a stay here because you offered free breakfast and I like that and all the hotels I go to because at least I save a little money on breakfast, but all you offered was coffee and I was very surprised and upset for that reason I won’t be coming back. Everything else was good, but I think that’s false advertisement. You can have a muffin apple banana bowl of cereal something you know if he’s offered pre-breakfast something should be offered beside coffee.

Extremely dangerous area. Poorly maintained exterior, unkempt, run down. Exterior door held open by a plastic coat hanger. Dirty carpet. Ice maker didn’t work, was CHARGED for ice at “bar” next door. Unprofessional front desk attendant, sleepy security guard in lobby. Most outlets in room non-functioning. Old, dirty curtains covered sliding door. Multiple Gun shots rang out in the ghetto next door. I felt unsafe walking through the parking lot, felt very unsure of the safety of my car. Weird restaurant/bar attached to property that converted to some sort of dance club. Lots of homeless and ladies of the night strolling about, if you know what I mean. Absolutely horrible.

The pool was filled in with dirt, the patio door had no lock or handles and would only stay shut with a 2x4, the shower curtain was held up with zip ties and hanging down, found small chucks of wood underneath my sheets, ac/unit fins were broken and inside covered with black mold, shower had mold on caulked areas, the one chair in the room was sooooo dirty with stains all over and not suitable to sit on, sink leaked and carpet molding was falling off the wall. That said, the Beds were actually comfortable and the staff was extremely nice and accommodating.

The property is run down, but of greater concern is safety. The exterior door lock (sliding door to courtyard) was broken so the room could not be fully locked. There was a safe in the room that did not work. I left the room for the evening and forgot the key. Stopped at the front desk on the way out to ask for a second one. I was given a key with no questions asked. No ID, no confirmation that I was actually a guest. This was a really poor experience.

There is a laundry facility, it is coin operated but no coin changer around. Front desk does not have change either. This is makes this useless. The closest ice maker in our room does not work. It seems it is not working for a while. There is construction beside the property which is really noisy early in the morning. this was not stated when booking the room.

We booked this hotel without looking at the reviews and let me tell you.. big mistake! When we arrived on site it was the most horrifyingly dirty place I have ever seen! Without even going inside I could tell there was no way we could possibly stay there without getting some kind of sickness or bedbugs. We skipped check in and had to book a whole other hotel because it was so bad

Spent 35 nights here in total in an extra large king room between moves. All and all served us well in regards to room space, microwave, fridge, balcony and weekdays pricing. Staff always responded quickly to issues we had with room and fixed any problems we encountered. Housekeeping was disappointing but improved during our stay but frustrating at times due to language barrier and trying to explain you needed towels or bed sheets changed etc. Again though for the price and amenities of the room and front desk staff the Travelodge served us well. I will add though all room nights were booked weekly thru Expedia because I thought best price but last few nights eventhough Room was prepaid in advance, Expedia charged us twice and being with limited funds with moving expenses this hurt because it will take 7-10 business days to recoup funds. Will not book thru them again.

Front desk staff were very rude. Security was nice & other staff were polite also. But front desk staff needs to reevaluate working their own establishment. We will never stay here again.

Went back up to the front desk, clerk was confused on why someone was in the room and that no one was suppose to be in there. Was assigned another room. Got to the room and key wouldnt work. Had to go back up to desk again and get clerk was confused why key didnt work so gave us a new key plus the original. Left for a few hours attempted to go in our room and key worked but had difficulty actually opening the door. Okay hotel for cheap but definitely will not stay here again.

I was in town for a funeral, it would be a 2-night stay, and one of the main reasons I chose this property was because it was convenient for my friends to pick me up for the service. Also, it was stated that they had an area shuttle up to 5 miles, so I planned on it for airport pick-up and drop-off, only to find out there was no such shuttle. This property is located next to the freeway, so if you rent a car, it is most convenient to get around town. This is a very, very old property. The bathrooms have been upgraded and there is a nice and convenient microwave, refer, in room 1-cup (not Keurig) coffee maker, and a safe. All worked and were in good condition. The shower was good and the bedding was very clean. However, the room itself was dark, dingy and needed repair. The carpeting looked old and grungy, have slippers! I didn't dare open the drapes , they've been there quite a while as well, yuk. The Wi-Fi was good. Didn't have time to try the bar or restaurant. There is nothing in walking distance or close by for eating or other. You would need a car. Although there are conveniently located vending machines here and there and ice machines. I do question the safety of the area, although I had no problem for the short time I was there. I had requested a 1st floor room as there is no elevator, and I don't haul bags up stairs. There was a little noise in the room above me, but basically the hotel was quite quiet. Would I stay there again? Most likely, not!
