Great place to stay

Rooms are dated, but really clean. Owner was super sweet when we checked in and anytime we had a question about the area. Fair rate. Forty Winks is going to be our new place to stay when we visit family in Milwaukee. Good location and convenient to everywhere we visited.

Yes, the room was spotless and check in a breeze. I wish they had a coffee maker in the room as we are early risers. But the coffee at the desk was good and strong.

Good Place to Stay

Stayed here for a Brewer game weekend. Service and Location were excellent. Easy parking. Beds are a bit hard and no breakfast. Otherwise it's a good option for the price and we would stay again.
