Comfort Inn & Suites NW Milwaukee

8/10 Good
"The front desk attendant said the second entrance closer to our room at the end of the building was an accessible entrance, which it might be but the parking lot curb, closely parked cars without a walkway, and poorly lit entrance made it impossible to use with a wheelchair. The lobby was the accessible option. The luggage carts shaped like a triangle dolly need bungee cords to hold the luggage in place from the car to the room. The 2 queen beds and pull out sofa accessible suite appeared clean, was comfortable, working microwave, refrigerator, & spacious room. Good placement of sturdy grab bars in the large bathroom. The second TV was unexpected and might be nice if you have children staying on the sleeper sofa. The downside was the missing linens for the sofa bed, no blankets if the light comforter and sheet isn't enough, the desk had to be used for the second suitcase, breakfast was bland and disappointing but at least protein, yogurt, and fruit were available. The hallway carpet needs a good cleaning, and the lobby and hallways stinks strongly of cannabis. Overall the room was great, but the smelly lobby and dingy hallways made a poor first impression."

"My wife and I wanted a simple “Crash pad” that wasn’t real expensive and didn’t offer a bunch of amenities like pool, exercise room and free breakfast. The Chalet is a rather retro “Roadside motel” and it suited what we were looking for perfectly. The buildings are pretty old, but they are well preserved. Everything worked well… the AC, TV, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, plumbing all worked! The ice machine was a bit of a dinosaur, but it made plenty of ice… The bed was comfy, the maid service was excellent and readily available… We will be back!"
