What guests think

Travellers describe MainStay Suites Milwaukee-Franklin as a newer, clean, and comfortable place with spacious suites and friendly staff, generally quiet stays, and practical amenities, though some note small pool facilities and occasional noise or maintenance hiccups.

In-room kitchenettes are appreciated, while a few mention sliding bathroom doors or firm mattresses as drawbacks. Breakfast is widely liked, but a couple of guests found the selection limited or lacking healthier options. The location feels safe and convenient to parks, restaurants, and local venues, with occasional noise reported during events. A straightforward, modern stay.

The locks didnt work for my room so i couldnt leave room. When i talked to them i was told there was nothing to be done. The people i checked in with was friendly. The people the next day were not so much. I told her about the lock situation because the women from night before told me to bring it up to them. She was all like oh ok sorry i guess. The remote for tv didnt work. There was dirty socks and garabage in hall of main floor when we left.

Loved how large the suite was. Beds and pillows comfortable. Full kitchen was great. Didn't care for the sliding bathroom door that never actually seals shut (no one needs to hear bathroom noises in a small space). Swimming pool was definitely smaller than the picture portrayed. 10 people max.

Disappointing, tv and dishwasher didn’t work, staff was unable to fix during our whole stay. Breakfast was very sparse, no fruit or anything healthy to eat, to us it had no value. Safe and convenient location.

The hotel was very clean as was the room. Staff at desk very friendly and helpful. Comfy beds. Breakfast was good with a large area to eat with plenty of tables. Pool was on the small side with no hot tub but clean and comfortable and my young granddaughters really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The room was great until I found a stink bug crawling under the top covers after already in bed. Had to strip bed and check everywhere. Extra care should be on all of the rooms going forward. Don’t want anyone else to deal with this.

The only complaint I had was the shower head. It is ok for the most part but for people like me who use a CPAP a shower head that is adjustable is preferred so you can use it to flush the hose with hot soapy water. Just a suggestion.

We were in Milwaukee to attend a wedding being held at the Boerner Botanical Gardens. The venue was just a few minutes away. There were also many restaurants within minutes to the hotel. The woman who checked us in was friendly and told us many good restaurants in the area. She was extremely helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the hotel was very quiet. We would definitely return if we come back to the Milwaukee area.
