Our stay was just okay. The property staff was friendly, but the hotel itself is barebones and the room itself was too bright to get a good night's sleep in (the blinds were too short to cover the entire window). We also found a centipede in our room which wasn't a huge deal as I do know those critters can find their ways into most places. The hotel did not have any sort of breakfast, only coffee or tea in the a.m. Would not return.

I will definitely recommend it to friends and will stay here any time I am in Milwaukee.

If you are going to Milwaukee, this place is great. You have parking right in front of the hotel. It is also great if you’re going to the Brewers game because they have a shuttle across the street at one of the restaurants that you can take for free if you eat there. Figure

Perfect for what it is. Not fancy; not much for amenities, but immaculate and nice sized room. only one complaint....COFFEE! ;) Breakfast room doesn't open until 7 and I didn't see anything to make coffee in the room. Maybe I missed it? Maybe open the breakfast room earlier? Need some way to get coffee before 7am. Otherwise, very good stay.

Forty Winks was built in the mid-eighties and it hasn't changed much... and that's a good thing! If you are a Gen Xer or older this will bring back many memories of our favorite decade. Blonde wood, exposed rock, teal carpet, and linoleum all make for a throwback experience. The front desk service is awesome! Friendly, helpful, and homey to make you feel like you are welcome. Imagine my surprise on getting an actual huge metal key for my room! I haven't seen one of those in a long time. I paraded it like a trophy. The room is clean with a fridge, small TV, great water pressure, comfortable mattress (pillows were on the small side), and rustic-wood looking ceiling. Ice is free from the front desk. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I forgot my Apple watch when I left and got a call within 20 minutes that they found it and it will be safe at the front desk. Awesome folks there. Brought back memories of a simpler time.

If you like to remove a dozen decorative pillows before you go to bed each night, this is not the place for you. If you value cleanliness, a comfortable bed, a quiet room in a safe and convenient location, and a wonderfully caring staff all at a really good price, I HIGHLY recommend Forty Winks Inn. I had a prolonged stay at the Inn that needed to be extended day by day due to a family emergency. While I initially booked on line, Lynn (the Inn’s wonderful manager) let me know that they had lower rates for people needing to be close to the nearby hospitals and charged me that for the rest of my stay. Because I was uncertain day-to-day of whether I’d be returning that night, I actually experienced three of the Inn’s rooms and each was spacious, clean, and comfortable.

I absolutely loved my stay here. Such a cute inn with a homey feel. Everything was clean and comfortable. Someone was at the door every morning to see if we needed towels, toilet paper, etc, and lots of essentials were available at the front desk (blow dryers, kleenex, etc). Lynne was the absolute sweetest lady and our check in and check out was great. We had great chats both times. She also made a point to remember our names and use them when she saw us, which just adds that extra touch. Area was great too. The zoo and muesum were close by, and i highly recommend mama mias and habenero for dinner nearby! If I'm ever back in Wisconsin, I will definitely be staying here!
