Top Milwaukee County Zoo Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Milwaukee West (Brookfield), WI

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here several times. Always pleaded. Connected bR and grill is excellent."

Holiday Inn Express Milwaukee-West Medical Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for the wonderful service especially the female assistant for acting quickly and provided me with emergency assistance and care when I needed them immediately. Kind regards and hope to see you again soon."

Renaissance Milwaukee West Hotel

8/10 Good

"I didn't realize prior to check in that parking was not included. Also, my Expedia confirmation number would not work on the Bonvoy- Marriot Rewards website. Therefore the internet also wasn't free. I feel like these 2 items should be included in the price tag, especially when I'm paying 600.00 plus dollars to stay for the weekend. Why is the Marriot nickel and diming and making everything al-a-cart? Seems like that would be an easy fix."

Forty Winks Inn LLC

10/10 Excellent

"We were coming in late and had a really stressful day, and the manager was so kind and helped make sure we could get into our room and had everything we needed. She was lovely. The room was spacious and clean. The shower felt great and the beds were comfy. Would definitely stay again."

Residence Inn Milwaukee West

Days Inn by Wyndham West Allis/Milwaukee

"Breakfast was not what i thought it would be ! Coffee or hot water. Oatmeal or doughts or grain garola bar... I was hoping for a piece of fruit. Or danish. With the coffee! The coffee was good!"

Landing Apartments at Mayfair Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Instructions to find the Serenity apartments at Wauwatosa Wisconsin weren't great but once we found the actual apartment, it exceeded our expectations. It was truly a home away from home, as it was immaculately clean and had everything needed for a fuss free stay. Shops and restaurants witin walking distance. We highly recommend staying here and will definitely be returning for a longer extended stay!"
