Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent
"In my opinion the hotel should have a designated smoking area as I noticed there were several smokers in the area. Also, I appreciate that as far as I can recall see no animals as I have severe allergies tosuch. Also, in my opinion the hotel should ensure the bartender is not late as several were waiting for the bar and kitchen to open. Also, the prices of the meals and beverages are reasonable and should not change as if they increase the prices I will stay at a different hotel as their are several on the website. Also, the breakfast buffet was late in opening and the some of the items listed were not on the buffet cart. Also, I would like if they added turkey and or a substitute to pork breakfast sausage."
