Top Milwaukee County Zoo Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Milwaukee West Allis by IHG

8/10 Good

"My stay was overshadowed by what should have been a very simple request: getting fresh towels. Obtaining towels for our room became an unnecessary ordeal. Every time we asked, it seemed to be an issue. We were repeatedly told that towels were being tracked, and when we asked housekeeping staff for assistance, they never had any available. Instead, we were instructed to go down to the front desk ourselves. What was most disappointing was that one front desk employee actually told me to bring my dirty towels downstairs before I could get clean ones. This was around midnight after I had been traveling all day, checked in, showered, and then attended a meeting. The last thing I should have been expected to do at that hour was carry used towels through the hotel just to receive fresh ones. Needless to say, my only focus was rest. My question is simple: why was it so difficult to get towels? This is a basic hotel amenity that guests should not have to chase down. I paid for my room and expected a reasonable level of service, not additional work and inconvenience. The entire experience was frustrating, ridiculous, and unacceptable. Something as routine as providing clean towels should never become a burden for paying guests."

"Very nice property in a safe neighborhood. Was stocked with everything you could need. Mike was a good communicator. Only reason I give a 4 star was because the living room furniture was in really rough shape and uncomfortable. Some of the chairs in the dining room were broken. I’m sure Mike will replace things. This was obviously his own residence at one time and much care was given to it."

Also the parking ticket for parking 2 feet to close to driveway,was a bit ridiculous."
