Forty Winks Inn, Milwaukee

This was a lovely small motel backed up to a residential neighborhood. We stayed for a week while visiting family. It was very peaceful and quiet and inexpensive and met our needs perfectly. It is located in a nice area, close to the zoo, Mayfair Mall and lots more. Thank you Forty Winks Inn for a lovely stay.

This a small family owned place that is very clean,well kept.If you are looking for the ritz, I would not go here. But, the price is reasonable and you get alot for your money. You can tell that by the clientel that stays there, most of us are propessional sales people (mem & women) small business people and older people. There are no parties at this place, you get a good nights sleep

We were happy to find this place, since we wanted to be near the shuttle for the Brewer's game. It's a unique place, not a chain. The price was good and the rooms were clean. I put two rooms on my credit card, since we were traveling with another couple. We stayed Monday night, checked out and turned in our keys (metal keys, not the new card kind) and went home, which is three + hours away. Later in the week, we got another bill from them for Tuesday night. I called and the owner/manager said the maid saw me leaving the room on Wednesday morning. I said that's not possible, we left on Tuesday and the four of us were all in one car. I was at work on Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM (I commute and was in Minnesota). I told him that I had a gas receipt from Tuesday when I filled up out of town and that I had neighbors who could vouch that I was back in town on Tuesday . The owner just kept saying I wasn't telling the truth and that the maid said I was there. I can easily get statements from our workplaces proving we weren't in Milwaukee on Wed. morning. The owner said he was going to have to have the lock changed. (He said he remembers me turning in two keys, not sure how I was supposed to have access to the room.) He told me repeatedly, just tell the truth, if I have to call the police it will be a lot worse for you. I said, I wasn't there! He said, I'm going to look at the security tapes. I told him to do it! This conversation took place on a Saturday morning and our whole day was pretty much ruined worrying about this mess. On Sunday a woman called and left a message on our phone. She said she was sorry for the inconvenience and our card was being credited. I called the owner again, to see what had happened and expecting an effusive apology. No dice. He was very cold. He said (wondering if he is lying) that someone DID come out of that room on Wed. morning, but they couldn't tell who it was, so since it was "inconclusive" they can't charge us. I replied that I can honestly say that it was not me and hung up. We were hoping to stay at this place again when going to future Brewer's games. I really don't understand how this man gets any repeat business. He is a very poor business man. I've never been treated so rudely. He implied that I was a liar and a thief. We will never go back here again.

The staff is friendly and helpful. Although the structure and design are somewhat antiquated, it is very clean and shows signs of being recently remodeled. It is very quiet - we didn't hear any other guests - and backs up to a residential neighborhood. The linens (towels and bedspread) are showing some signs of age. However, I slept well and dried off fine. Overall, a very good value if you are planning to be out and about in Milwaukee for most of your stay and don't need a lot of amenities.

We have been coming for years. Have never had a bad experience. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean and price is right.........What more could you ask for?

The rooms were very clean and the parking was well lighted.The employees were very helpful. And it was located in a good spot. Would come back again and stay.

Very well located.The rooms are large with king size beds.Our room was very clean. This is not a party place, its quiet and comfortable. Very close to Baseball field.

Save yourself - DON'T STAY AT THE FORTY WINKS! I have stayed at hundreds of hotels in my life and have NEVER had this kind of horrendous treatment ever before. When the air conditioning in my children's room (they aren't kids, 26 and 31) didn't work, they were accused of breaking it, which they did not do. The desk clerk called the owner at midnight, he came to the hotel screaming, swearing and finger pointing like a crazy man, then called the police (when he was the only one making trouble, even the police will admit to that.) When we checked out the next day - a day earlier then we planned, we were told we would still be charged for the 2nd night, even though we were not staying, and checked out well before the checkout time. I had rented 4 rooms for 2 nights, and will NEVER go there again. I urge you, spend another $10 and save yourself from the aggravation and humiliation!!!!

I enjoyed it a lot! It was just the right price and was the cutest place i've ever been! The rooms were very nice, not too small just right. The pool was very clean and the people were very nice to my family!

Nice, inexpensive place to stay - centrally located in Wauwatosa.
