Extended Stay America Select Suites - Milwaukee - Wauwatosa
The room was okay, but was a little beat up. They hadn't emptied the bathroom trash which makes you wonder what else they didn't clean. At least the bed appeared to have clean linens. Also didn't realize that the front desk closes at 10 PM and almost didn't make it in time to check -in.
