Brown Deer Hotels

Great staff and food was pretty good. The rooms were a decent size. Stores are close by.

Desk/dresser takes up too much space in bedroom. Location is a little way from the freeway.

Pleasant staff, nice little restaurant and bar. Easy access to downtown and north side businesses. Comfortable room and king bed, nice workstation in the room.

Room was supposed to be "accessible", however the commode is way too low and no grab bars. Shower tub was very clean, but is steeply sloped and slippery, because it is clean! Some anti-skid surface is needed.

Desk staff -excellent. The breakfast that came with the room was served at the Starbuck's counter. Underwhelming, but free and as good as other hotels withbreakfast rooms. The good part was not maneuvering around other people-and Holiday Inn and Hampton and those ALWAYS have kids underfoot, not being watched. This was a nice, clean, quiet night after a loud New Years party.

The staff was super friendly, especially the morning Bistro staff. Lounge/Lobby includes a nice business center.

The room was really small. Two people cannot walk past each other through the hallway space leading from entrance to bedroom area.

Room was nice and big.

Hotel is under construction

Location

PRICE! Wall thermostat in the room was broken. Television remote controls worked poorly. Staff wasn't very helpful.

The hotel staff was very courteous which made the stay more enjoyable. My issue was with the inability to keep the air conditioning going.

The cooling system automatically turns off after a set number of minutes. Subsequently, I woke up very very warm both nights. For this reason alone, I wouldn't stay at this hotel again.

Didn't like the clientele. Place was dirty and staff did not care. Horrible place to stay unless you have nowhere else to go in such short notice.

The pool looked nice, didn't get to enjoy it though.

- Air conditioner/heater didn't work - Someone else's dirty washcloth was left in the shower - There was a huge puddle of water on the floor that looked like it came from the fan - The curtains facing the parking lot (we were ground level) were broken and mangled - The "Sleep Number" bed was broken and very hard - We were given two full beds instead of one king bed - Took half an hour to check in because the "system was down"

Walls thin; Rooms were loud

Easy to get to the Brewer Game. Avoided downtown area with Summer Fest going on since we didn't want to go there. Close to Wauwautsa and fun beer garden at Hoyt Park. Very clean hotel. Quiet even though they were full.

The breakfast

Everything, the beds sucked, everything was dirty

Friendly staff, okay place, fair value for the dollar

Bottle cap on the floor, how thorough was the housekeeping staff? Refrigerator smelled like sub sandwich.

Good location, clean facilities

Breakfast was very limited - no oatmeal, eggs, sausage, etc. I like a good breakfast.

Close proximity to Bayshore Mall, restaraunts, highway and food. Room was well-cleaned. Staff was polite. The bed was actually one of the better ones I've slept on at a cheap hotel and the bathroom seemed almost out of place with the obvious renovation that had been done in it. Overall, the room was decent enough if you're like me and just need a place to stagger in, toss your boots in the corner and fall asleep for the night.

The room, despite being very clean, was in serious need of repairs. Wallpaper was peeling off. The staff was polite enough, but it took them a minute to actually acknowledge me. If you plan on spending a great deal of time at the hotel, I'd pay the extra money for the hotels nearby, but if you just want a place to crash for a night before leaving or don't plan on spending time in the hotel it's acceptable.

Your rates was fair.

The second floor hallway carpet need replacing badly.

Easy checkin. No specific issues with stay

Price level did not match quality level. Hotel was very overpriced for its condition and star level

Bed is surprisingly fine Room is spacious Location is good AC was quiet

Bathroom could be cleaner - found hair in the bathroom Room facilities can be maintained better - broken hanger, electric outlets not working

The staff at the hotel were amazingly friendly, helpful, and seemed to truly care if we enjoyed our stay. A gentlemen name Lamont, allowed my 7 year old niece and I enjoy the pool an extra half hour after closing time. Most staff got to know my niece and I were staying there for a few days just the two of us while her parent worked, they live in Milwaukee and I was visiting from Colorado. A nice gal at the front even asked about our Geocache searches etc. Food was fabulous as well!

I really wouldn't change anything it was right on!

The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and the shuttle service was easy to use.

Breakfast not included

Rooms seemed clean and the breakfast was alright....

Noisy! You could hear everything through the wall.... Didn't really appreciate the smoke coming through the vent from the next room... Had to keep the bathroom door shut. Do not disturb sign is worthless since housekeeping wakes you up anyways.

Rooms were very CLEAN Housekeeping was PROMPT and POLITE Security does regular checks around the premises Nice up to date rooms Free Wifi and Complimentary breakfast

The ice machine one the 3rd floor didnt work Didnt have a snack vending machine on the 3rd floor

Clean place with a nice staff and comfortable room

The staff was very helpful and personable. It was extremely clean the beds were comfortable the shower was amazing the breakfast better than most free breakfasts. Felt safe and comfortable

I didn't like that I didn't have any money to top. due to an extremely rough day prior to arriving at the hotel. Next time I stay I will make up for it.

Staff was very nice. Free shuttle to downtown. Asked for a quiet room, got a quiet room. Big rooms. Nice shower. Free parking. Cute bar downstairs with a really nice bartender.

Semi-seedy location, just wouldn't go walking around by yourself at night. A/c kept going on and off, so we were either super cold or hot.

Third shift staff (( Eunice)) was rude. Over charged me. & talked over me when I was trying to explain her mistake

The room was nice, bed was comfortable, clam linen. Breakfast was great. Reading some of the reviews I was apprehensive. Yes, some ceiling tiles in the hallway were missing because they were doing some repair work. However everything in the room was fine. The breakfast was great, a standard continental breakfast...

sTAFF FRIENDLY

Room had a bad odor

My father in law was very comfortable with the room.

Pool area. I was in there with my family only to have 3 young men come in. They shared something they were smoking. And then when he left, they were making obscene noises. I have 2 young children who were subjected to this.

The location was very convenient. There was a fridge in the room that worked really well.

The hotel desperately needs a remodel. Despite being smoke free, the lobby has a faint smoke smell. Possibly because guests can stand right outside the entrance and smoke? The carpets are dark but feel like they have seen better days. The mattresses are ok but kind of lumpy. The breakfast was bland. The juices out of the machine were very watered down and the pastries did not have much flavor. There was crud on the ice machine. Everything just felt worn out.

There basically is no room. You feel cramped from the moment you arrive and realize you cannot pull up to the door and cannot park. Very casual staff. Maybe the 30 year olds like things this way. We do not. We will not be back.

The showers are nice.

The blinds are really poor. You need thicker blinds to keep the light out. You can't keep the blinds open and expect to have any sort of privacy. The door from the shower to the rest of the room does not seal, so coming out of the shower is freezing. The walls are paper thin and you can hear EVERYTHING from surrounding rooms. They say the mattresses are firm. There are not firm.

When I got to the hotel to check in, they had upgraded us to the Ambassador Hotel instead of the Inn for free! The staff was very nice at the front desk & made sure I was happy.

The overnight parking (the safer option compared to out on the street) costed $10, which isn't terrible, but I strongly feel every hotel should have free parking at their facilities where customers can feel assured their car is safe.

The room was clean. Although the lobby, elevator and common areas had a foul smell.

The beds were very uncomfortable. I think they purchased the least expensive mattress on the market. Every spring was felt. The shower had an area in the ceiling that needed to be repaired. Also, the caulk seal needed to be replaced around the tub.

Breakfast was excellent. Staff friendly.

There was a strong cigarette oder in hallways and stairwells. Lingered into rooms. By law rhis is supposed to be a smoke free environment. Suspect that this is not being enforced at this hotel.

Good location close to Bradley Center

Parking is expensive and difficult to get to. Hotel is definitely in need of an update - it's looking kind of shabby.

Closeness too the Bradley Center

Walkable distance to shopping and restaurants, and other downtown attractions. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was delicious!

Clean, comfortable beds, room amenities, very polite and friendly staff

Only negative is a mandatory 20 dollar per night valet fee, but that may be standard for the downtown

If you need to be in Downtown Milwaukee, the hotel is well located, has parking (though it's really expensive with in and out privileges -- and I say this as a Bostonian used to paying out the nose for parking), and the public spaces of the building are really nice and well maintained. The gent working the desk when we checked in was also a delight and gave lots of useful recommendations about what sites to see and where to eat. A+ to that guy.

Our room itself was pretty low end, especially for an Intercontinental. The air conditioning didn't work, every piece of furniture was damaged, and the walls and bathroom showed a lot of wear and tear. When the front desk staff was alerted the ac didn't work, the guy simply said, "Oh, sorry." D- to that guy.

Great hotel if you are attending a show at The Pabst Theater or Milwaukee Rep since all three share a common lobby. Check in was quick and friendly (thanks Cory) and the room was spacious and clean. The candy/RedBull/bottled water purchase basket was a bit strange, but the rest of the room was fine.

Parking is expensive for the area ($27).

Ambiance and location were great. The corner room on the 15th floor had a great view.

Elevators could be quicker.

Everything was very clean and the staff were very helpful.

Expensive parking. Could've parked somewhere else in the city for much cheaper. There were a lot of business people there and no family attractions such as a pool.

Nice rooms and very comfortable beds. The complimentary breakfast was also very good. It's in a good location for downtown activities. Staff was very friendly and responded quickly to request for service.

The room was clean, but dated. The carpet needs replacing and fixtures need some minor repairs or upkeep. For the price of the room, the parking should be included.

Was very happy to stay here. Clean and beautiful. Loved breakfast, but they need to season the scrambled eggs on the breakfast buffet.

It was downtown

Dated and not the cleanest. Loud, and extra charges on my card at the end...

Leaving

Everything besides leaving

Good value. Good matress.

No closet, small wardrobe.

Rooms were clean and hotel is great for getting shuttled to and from Miller Park, the Zoo, and any other attraction within a 5 mile radius.

The shuttle service took too long to come and get us from the zoo. We were told it would only take 15 minutes. We called 20 minutes before we would be ready and the shuttle came 1 hour and 45 minutes later. So just call the shuttle plenty of time earlier than you need it to be safe.

The hotel was convenient to the airport and competitively priced. Free hotel shuttle and free continental breakfast

good location, nice staff, good price. decent hotel for a quick stay

said i get a king room but i got a 2-double instead. i would have preferred a king. also the bathroom towels were not very clean
