Conveniently located to both Froedert Hospital and American Family Field. Easy access. Very helpful manager. Room very clean and comfortable. Affordable. Next trip to this hospital or Brewers game, I'll book this same hotel. And ... Veteran owned!

It is in the perfect location for where I was going. Just right next door it is an older hotel motel from maybe the 70s, but it is nice and clean inside. Everybody is polite and nice that works there. So it is a nice little place. Just a little outdated, but we can live with that. If we're just sleeping there.

Very well kept and very quiet motel. My room was basic but very clean and everything in good working order. I left an item behind and the owner messaged me and said they would mail it back to me at no charge. Will be staying here for future Milwaukee visits. Great friendly service and atmosphere.
