Clarion Hotel Airport

If you like spiders, stains on the walls, nasty I don’t know what stains all over the furniture, food and gross stuff all along the wall, short beds, and the nastiest coffee I’ve ever had in my life type of place this is for you! Staff was nice and the internet was ok. This place needs help. I’ve been staying here for years every 3 months. And it’s going down hill fast.

Went here for s wedding August 22^nd
Beautiful decoration it was very nice, the reason I took 2 stars off are as followed. The staff serving the food needed to understand mannerism when serving others food, no excuse me when putting down the plates or even picking them up. They just reached over your head which was annoying after a time, it seemed like they were in such s hurry to get the things cleaned up. And to hear them standing there talking about hurrying to pack things up or what they will and will not do.
And how they don’t ask before taking something away which was very bad, but overall a beautiful reception set up

This really reminds me of a motel. My company has a contract with this hotel and I called earlier the same morning I was going to check-​in and asked about their bedbug situation and whether it was fixed and how. They explain to me everything and all I could tell them was to manually inspect my room before I arrived. I woke up with no bites. Thank goodness cause the previous reviews and photos, SCARED me.
The hotel staff here is really nice from the bartenders, front desk, van drivers, etc. They have coffee, donuts, yogurt, and granola bars to offer complimentary for breakfast. Theyll even let you take it to go with you to the van.
My room smelled like a motel room. Old cigarette smoke, yum. Motel style furniture and scary bedding. However, my room was clean and they provided a mini fridge and microwave which was nice. The bathroom was also clean. There’s nothing in the area.
I’m contracted here so I have no choice but to return. Staff is 5 stars, physical hotel is 2.

BED BUGS!!! My sister and I are covered in hundreds of bed bug bites after sharing a room in this hotel on a family trip. The hotel was not at all helpful when we called to report the problem — they said it must be a spider bite. I’ve been to a doctor and had an exterminator come and both confirmed it is bed bug bites. Stay away!

I stayed here thanks to Delta airlines even though I have a house in Wauwatosa. I was to fly out Friday evening but my first flight was late which made me miss my connection. I got a free hotel room a Clarion and a $ 25 food voucher which I spent on booze at the Corks ‘n Cleaver restaurant.
The room was pretty nice, air conditioner on full blast when I arrived, nice front desk staff. Comfy queen sized bed. I was up at 4:45AM and they were stocking the coffee bar with Dunkin’ Donuts. Would I stay here on my own dime? Yeah probably.
24 HOUR AIRPORT SHUTTLE. Hotel is literally right across the street from the airport.

Great stay! We stayed one night to catch an early flight from Milwaukee airport. We used the on site parking and shuttle service both of which were fantastic! We checked in really late and the two guys working on the overnight shift were extremely helpful and so very accommodating. When we returned from our trip they picked us up from the airport and shuttled us back to our car! Highly recommend and will definitely stay again. Note: due to the timing of our stay we did not use the pool or any facilities so can’t comment on that! Heather Pincelli

Adequate for the night before the flight, gated parking included and shuttle to the airport. Front desk was nice and our room is always clean (2 times). Typical airport lounge type bar but avoid their restaraunt.

Great hotel. Flight was cancelled and couldn’t leave until the morning (southwest). Hotel staff was very accommodating and provided free toiletries.

If it wasn’t for it’s proximity to the airport and it’s long term parking, i wouldn’t have stayed here. But for the price of the room and parking (was cheaper to do it separate than get the hotel/​park package) I couldn’t find anything better at the time.
Simply put, this hotel needs a renovation and the cleaning staff needs to step it up a notch. Our room appeared to be clean, but it just has that grungy look to it. The bed was very uncomfortable, the pillows were horrible… luckily i was tired. Apparently, based on what my wife said, it was a huge benefit for me to sleep without my hearing aids in because apparently the planes were quite loud in the room throughout the night.
The breakfast they provide was horrible… crappy doughnuts and bad coffee.
Will definitely look harder before staying here again.

Meh. Few parking spaces. Somewhat expensive for what you’re getting. Front desk was ambivalent. Pillows were shitty, and when we called for more, instead of them bringing them to our room, we had to go get them (um, wtf?). The shower needed to be scrubbed down and re-​caulked (black grout lines and caulk lines), and there was a hole in the wall where the bathroom drain went into the wall, that was stuffed full of toilet paper (awkward and creepy). We stayed here because we were here for a wedding reception, but I wouldn’t stay again. The reception space itself was nice, but as for the rooms — I would look into other airport hotels if you need to stay the night in Milwaukee.

Hard to believe this is considered a full-​service level of the choice hotel brand. While the room was clean, the front desk staff was un-​engaged in the customer service experience and the amenities were barely noticeable. Clarion appears to be a layover spot for the airline employees in between flights, so this is obviously the market to which they cater. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s good to know airline personnel are treated like members of a family when they’re away from home, just as long as you, as a «civilian» are prepared to be treated like a nuisance at worst, or an inconvenience, at best.
Finding a place to park in the lot is next to impossible for late arrivals. Not sure if the hotel rents its parking spaces to locals who want an off-​airport site to park, but it’s definitely inconvenient if you’re a paying guest.
With all that said, if you don’t have a car and just need a clean place to flop for the night with minimal fuss, Clarion will work just fine.
