Reviews of The Village Inn Hotel describe a small, renovated, motel-style stay with generally clean rooms and a convenient location near downtown, but with quirks like slow-to-arrive hot water, portable/noisy AC, and a mixed neighborhood feel.
Several guests praise the continental breakfast, frequently noting Starbucks coffee and Dunkin items, though a few found the setup underwhelming. Service impressions vary: many found the team warm and helpful, while others reported double charges, refund delays, difficult check-ins, and confusing or extra parking fees. Expect a budget-friendly motel stay with trade-offs.

The place was dark and small corridors. There was a portable AC in the room, no trash cans, shower walls had stuff stuck to them. We got charged $20 to park in there parking lot.The "breakfast" was dunken donuts set up in a dark hallway! When our uber drove us back she told us it was a hooker hotel. Definitely do not recommend this place.

The property is recently remodeled & clean but that is really the only good thing I can say. Bad area, terrible cigarette smell in the rooms, uncomfortable pillows, loud bangs on the walls throughout the night. We were honestly a little scared to stay in this hotel.

Overall the cleanliness was very good. We were just surprised that the sheets were a dark blue color so you could see every speck of lint on the sheets from the blankets. So that made me question if the sheets were really clean or not.

So sadly, I was charged two times for a one night stay. Expedia said I’d be paying $149.50 for my stay. The village inn charged me $144 and then another $194?? Gave me a $50 deposit back, but I’m still owed $140. Why was I charged twice? They did not explain this to me. I called and emailed and haven’t received a reply. I’m going to call my bank and dispute the second charge. Also, the floors were dirty, the bathroom was dirty, and I felt very unsafe because anyone can just walk into the hallways. my Uber driver said it was weird to see a young girl standing outside of this place. Made me scared. Thought this would just be a nice regular hotel.

The room/property had a few odd features - hot water took a bit of time to warm up, AC was portable rather than a more normal window unit, breakfast food was provided in an out-of-the-way room, etc. - but it was clean, comfortable, everything worked, and I did not have to ask for anything. Especially given the location not far from downtown, it was well worth the price, and I would certainly stay again.

Rooms
Rooms are recently refreshed with quirky decor and many find the beds comfortable, but expect quirks: hot water can take several minutes and pressure may be low, portable AC units can be noisy, light leaks, and sound travels.

Lots of updates have been made to this place, so even though it's an older building, almost all the furniture/decor looks really new and the beds were comfortable. But there were still a few things that were not great – first, it would be a simple but huge improvement to provide each bathroom with its own small garbage can and with a bathmat, not just towels, since the shower stall water soaked out onto the bathroom floor, with nothing to sop it up with. (There was also zero shelf/counter-space in the bathroom.) Second, the description of my economy room said it included a "desk" but it did not! The descriptions should be changed to be accurate. Third, it was true that there was AC, but it was a "portable" AC unit, venting out the window with a huge hose – it worked fine but was VERY noisy. Last, quite a bit of sunlight still came through the curtains very early in the morning, even though we had tried to pull them tightly. Other than those things, I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into improving the place, but it was still not a very quiet/pleasant place to spend time, other than the beds being decently comfortable.

Ok, yes it was CLEAN. But I was SOOO unimpressed with a few things... The bed mattress had a thick plastic cover on it with a THIN fitted sheet over it. This encouraged heavy sweating and an uncomfortable night (not to mention the fitted sheet constantly falling off the mattress all night long. So I had to put a thick blanket under me to be able to sleep without a wetness below me (blanket not provided). I feel after looking at previous reviews they had an issue with bed bugs so that was the reason for the plastic?? THEN, the signs. EVERYWHERE! Upon checking in there was a sign saying "We Have the right to refuse anyone." Um? Yeah, nice first impression...and a guest was refused while we checked in. In the room there are signs about how if you took anything by intent or accident you'd receive a ticket from the Milwaukee Police. Huh?? And another sign about how to treat the room and to NOT SMOKE (I don't) and if you did what would happen. Also, in the bathroom a sign of "Wait 7-10 minutes for the water to get hot." They weren't lying. How about FIX IT? And the water pressure was BAD. All these signs just THREATENING YOU! The A/C was an indoor unit that was poorly secured to the window. Didn't feel safe. There were lights outside the room that LIT THE ROOM and though the listing touts "Black out shades" that they were NOT. Lights into the room all night long. This place could improve in a few slight ways, but if it remains what is is now, I will NOT be going back. Regardless of

The staff were friendly, and helpful: as other reviewers have noted the air conditioner units are portable and in my room the exhaust simply would not remain in the outlet (despite the copious amounts of tape) but it was cool enough to not need to use it. It is a little bit noisy due to the setup but when most/all were sleeping it was very quiet. Unfortunately if someone chooses to have a loud conversation in a room or in the courtyard it is very easy to hear them; or if someone is pressure cleaning with an air compressor (!). The surrounding area is economically disadvantaged and whilst I felt safe walking about during daylight hours, I would not necessarily go off premises alone, or except to get straight into an uber or similar transport service. All in all, I liked the staff who were friendly and helpful, and the premises are about what one would expect for a motel of its age that has clearly had some reasonable work done on it to improve it.

This is the cutest little quirky kitschy motel. The decor is over the top! It's an old building but the owners have done a great job keeping it up. And the staff couldn't be nicer! They helped us get a ride to get where we needed to go and to come back to the motel. They provide a continental breakfast with actually good food. Quiet and friendly. Beautiful temple across the street. Just a nice experience all together. :)

For the price you are paying, this hotel is acceptable. Room and bathroom were clean, there was no smell. It was very quiet at night, but I could see it having the potential to be noisy. Under 2 miles to downtown which is convenient. It's a 10 minute walk to the Ambassador Hotel which is much nicer, but costs at least twice as much.

So I have never been to Milwaukee before. I was looking online for hotels and I made sure not to choose the cheapest hotel I could find but I also wasn't wanting the most expensive hotel either. I found one that was a median price. When we got there, it didn't say anything about it being in a rougher part of the city. You had to get buzzed into the front desk, there were some sketchy guys out in the parking lot eye balling us as we walked back to our vehicle and one of them started cat calling me. Then we walk up to our room and the room next to us had what looked to be a homeless person in there with the door open doing some shady things. I felt very unsafe and uncomfortable. When we got into the room it smelled horribly of cigarettes and just dark and depressing. I laid on the bed and it was the most uncomfortable mattress I've ever laid on. I just looked at my bf with dread in my face and said "I don't want to stay here". So we were there maybe less than 5 mins. We walked back to the front desk and checked out. I called hotel.com to get a refund since I had already paid for 2 nights. I was hoping to at least get the second night refunded. They couldn't refund us any of the money. When I finally got to talk to customer service, they said they would send me a $75 credit on the expedia app which I never recieved. I typically don't bother with reviews. But this experience was so bad I felt I needed to.
So I have never been to Milwaukee before. I was looking online for hotels and I made sure not to choose the cheapest hotel I could find but I also wasn't wanting the most expensive hotel either. I found one that was a median price. When we got there, it didn't say anything about it being in a rougher part of the city. You had to get buzzed into the front desk, there were some sketchy guys out in the parking lot eye balling us as we walked back to our vehicle and one of them started cat calling me. Then we walk up to our room and the room next to us had what looked to be a homeless person in there with the door open doing some shady things. I felt very unsafe and uncomfortable.

I enjoyed the room. I found a great restaurant nearby. Made a cup of coffee in the morning. I was offered donuts and could fee, but I’m not a sweets guy.

This is the cutest little quirky kitschy motel. The decor is over the top! It's an old building but the owners have done a great job keeping it up. And the staff couldn't be nicer! They helped us get a ride to get where we needed to go and to come back to the motel. They provide a continental breakfast with actually good food. Quiet and friendly. Beautiful temple across the street. Just a nice experience all together. :)

The staff were friendly, and helpful: as other reviewers have noted the air conditioner units are portable and in my room the exhaust simply would not remain in the outlet (despite the copious amounts of tape) but it was cool enough to not need to use it. It is a little bit noisy due to the setup but when most/all were sleeping it was very quiet. Unfortunately if someone chooses to have a loud conversation in a room or in the courtyard it is very easy to hear them; or if someone is pressure cleaning with an air compressor (!). The surrounding area is economically disadvantaged and whilst I felt safe walking about during daylight hours, I would not necessarily go off premises alone, or except to get straight into an uber or similar transport service. All in all, I liked the staff who were friendly and helpful, and the premises are about what one would expect for a motel of its age that has clearly had some reasonable work done on it to improve it.

The place was dark and small corridors. There was a portable AC in the room, no trash cans, shower walls had stuff stuck to them. We got charged $20 to park in there parking lot.The "breakfast" was dunken donuts set up in a dark hallway! When our uber drove us back she told us it was a hooker hotel. Definitely do not recommend this place.

The room/property had a few odd features - hot water took a bit of time to warm up, AC was portable rather than a more normal window unit, breakfast food was provided in an out-of-the-way room, etc. - but it was clean, comfortable, everything worked, and I did not have to ask for anything. Especially given the location not far from downtown, it was well worth the price, and I would certainly stay again.

It was ok .. except that you couldn't close the bathroom door at all! And if you are afraid of the dark, bring a waterproof light for the shower...walls are dark, curtain is black and shower is black with no lighting around it. I liked the black towels!! I did have to go back and ask for the WiFi password - the guy was surprised that I didn't get it earlier. Saturday breakfast was great!! Dunkin and Starbucks... you'll never go wrong with that!!

I really love all the attention to detail in making the property stylish and attractive. Though it’s not my style of interior decoration, I appreciate the love someone put into the property. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and informative, and the breakfast was the best continental breakfast I have ever had at a motel. Literally, Starbucks coffee, Dunkin Donuts sandwiches, an amazing selection of fresh fruit, beverages, and snacks. I’d say whatever expectation you have going into this type of small motel setting, they will surpass.
