Ramada Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Jul 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

Room was clean and priced right for summer fest (with the help of priceline) Would stay there again.

Positives: Close to a specific summer event

Negatives: No free shuttle to the summer fest grounds, other hotels in the area did have them. Not a deal breaker though.

This hotel is run down and needs a total renovation. The elevator stopped 2 inches from being level with the floor, the doors did not close properly and the TV was a very old model with poor picture quality.

Positives: Close to downtown.

Negatives: Hotel is in really bad shape.

This was a great location for the Bead and Button Show. You are close to all of the events. It is a great place to stay for events at the Midwest Center.

Positives: I liked the location to the Midwest Center.

Negatives: The first room that we got was close to the ice machine. Too loud. We went down to the front desk and got it changed.

The hotel was quite clean, just recently remodeled. The staff was friendly and helpful in finding the best way to get around town.

Positives: The windows had room darkening shades and the hotel was within walking distance of several attractions.

Negatives: Nothing.

The hotel lobby is pretty. Halls smell of smoke on the smoking floors. We heard a noise late at night and hoped someone was getting pizza and opened the door to find people from 2 rooms down. Night manager walk up within 30 seconds of us opening the door and told us to keep it down that we could be heard 2 floors up and would not listen to us at all. Obviously, we heard the same thing as him.

Positives: Good location with free parking.

Negatives: Night manager rude.

We had fun in Milwaukee. We went on a tour of the Coors Miller Brewery. They also have a casino there. This hotel was downtown close to everything. The staff at the hotel was very friendly. The room had lots of extra pillows and comfortable beds. It was just as nice as some of the more expensive hotels that we have stayed in.

Positives: Comfortable beds.

Negatives: Nothing.

This is a minimalistic hotel, not what I expect from a downtown Ramada. The beds were nice and the parking was great, otherwise, this hotel feel circa 1979, not 2009.

Positives: Free and convenient parking.

Negatives: The hotel is very outdated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 21 Jan 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

The hotel is not the fanciest but it is easy to get to and is located in a good location. Everything we wanted to see and go to was with in 5-7 miles and we were able to walk or take a taxi for under $10.00. The beds were very small, they must have been full size beds and we were told they were queen.

Positives: Conveniently located downtown Milwaukee.

Negatives: There were no fans in the room, not even in the bathroom.

The location and lobby was beautiful. I was not impressed with one of the receptionists. We were actually too uncomfortable to sleep under the blankets so luckily we brought our own. I loved the location but would probably choose another hotel for my next trip!

Positives: The location was great for our trip to the Mil. Brewer game and was right off the main highway.

Negatives: The room was not clean. The shower curtain was on the floor and there was obvious stains on the comforter.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 28 Aug 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

Not a bad place to stay, not a great place to stay. Very average all around.

Positives: Decent location.

Negatives: Could use some remodeling. Rooms weren't as clean as should be expected. No ashtrays in smoking room requested one from front desk but never got one.

My stay there was awful, in a horrible neighborhood. Our room was not clean and we got a different one that still had soap in the shower. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Positives: Free parking.

Negatives: Room dirty at check-in, changed to a different one to find used soap in tub, no screens on windows, TV. fuzzy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 30 Jun 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Overall the hotel was nice. A little difficult to get to as it is downtown and not near an off ramp from the highway as well as heavy construction and the ramp listed on downloaded directions was closed. Thank goodness for GPS. Again, the hotel was nice overall and I would probably stay there again.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Room was stuffy with little air flow.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 07 Jun 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Room was clean but a two star rating for this property is being generous. The location was ok. For a Brewers game and the River walk.

Positives: The staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Everything was dated and old.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 04 Jun 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Hotel location was downtown which was nice but in a less than desirable neighborhood. The bar and restaurant were small and not very busy. There was no hotel store to purchase snacks, newspapers or magazines. Not paying extra for parking at a downtown hotel was helpful.

Positives: Did not have to pay extra for parking.

Negatives: No Sunday newspaper available for sale.

We stayed in the courtyard, Milwaukee Downtown.

Positives: Free parking at the hotel very rare you find this in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Negatives: Looked very dirty.

I will not be returning to this hotel again. The restaurant was not good. The rooms were not clean.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The rooms were not clean. We had to be moved to a new room.

I checked in late at night, so I only used my room -- I didn't look anywhere else in the hotel. It really fit the bill, being close to downtown, and offered free parking. My room was VERY clean, which is always my first priority, but there were a few glitches. My blanket was very tattered, with big bald spots. The fitted sheets easily "popped off" of the nice, newer pillow top mattresses, and the heat/cooling controls in the room were useless. I ended up accidentally turning the room into a hot box (nice to wake up to at 2am) due to confusing and outdated fan controls. The staff was VERY courteous and friendly. Despite the minor shortcomings, I would stay there again, although they have to fix some small things before they will deserve the extra half-star.

Positives: This hotel has free parking and is close to Downtown Milwaukee.

Negatives: The blanket/sheets were tattered, but clean. Useless temperature controls in room.

The room itself was adequate for my needs. The cigarette smoke pervading my room the second night kept me from getting the rest I needed. The smell of smoke seemed to be entering my room through a vent in the bathroom. There was no exhaust fan so the smoke smell built as the evening progressed. Unsatisfactory!

Positives: Location, free parking on-site.

Negatives: My room was non-smoking, but there was a lot of smoke coming from a neighboring room through vent in bathroom.

Pleasant staff. Clean though dated. Oddly enough, rooms are different. 3rd stay reveals nicer decor but not sure if there is a pattern. Restaurant food is fine, but expensive. That should not be an issue given location and area options. Good for business travel.

Positives: Location very good. Free parking downtown rare.

Negatives: Dated facility.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 22 Sep 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Nothing fancy and certainly needs an update, but the staff was pleasant and the location cannot be beat for getting in and around downtown without paying for parking.

Positives: Good location for everything.

Negatives: Dated facility and furnishings.
