Hyatt Place Milwaukee Airport REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
I couldn't find a review thread for this property - I apologize if I missed it - so I thought I'd start one.
I stayed at this property for one night over Memorial Day weekend. Rates around Milwaukee were surprisingly high. I used a Classic stay certificate I had lying around. It's a Level 1 property, so perhaps I should have used 5000 points.
Getting there from I-94 was a little tricky by car. There's a split in the airport spur, and traveling away from the airport the Hyatt Place can only be reached from the road to the right. Parking is in the back. I didn't see places to eat within walking distance, but there are several places on Edgerton Avenue to the north.
The building is a converted Amerisuites, but it's not the six story model I know from the Chicago area. There are four floors, plus a basement. It has corner rooms, unlike the six story plan but like the Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Airport. Room layout differs from the six story model. There's no second sink. Also, the bathroom sink is in the same room as the toilet, instead of separate in the six story model. Power plug layout also differs, and I couldn't find a plug near the couch side table, which I can in the Chicago-six rooms. Unfortunately, the largest problem - wall vents near the bed - did not change. I had a room on the back side, though neither view is pretty. I did not hear any plane noise during the night.
The room had KenetMD products. Breakfast had a lot more options than I remember for Hyatt Place. I expected breakfast sandwiches, but hot options included eggs, sausage patties, pancakes, and oatmeal. Also included were cantaloupe, pineapple, donuts, bagels, and bread for toast. I thought the pancakes were pretty good; not lemon poppyseed pancakes or anything, but lighter than I expected.
Besides the strong breakfast, I was also impressed by the service. At check-in, the young female agent asked for my license number. As I had a rental, I paused. She then asked if I had a rental. Since I did, she asked for my keychain and took the license plate number from there. This is the first time a checkin agent has made such a logical move.
Overall, I thought this was a good Hyatt Place. One potentially helpful point is that you can drive to downtown via 794, avoiding some of Wisconsin's construction and getting a better downtown view.
