I live 3 hours north of Milwaukee.
I’m taking my son next week to a concert at the Marcus Amphitheater in Milwaukee and we will be staying two nights (Wednesday and Thursday nights) so I want to do it on the cheap.
I have no intentions of staying in the high crime areas of the city where the cheap hotels probably are. So far on my research, I was able to find America’s Best Value Inn in Sheboygan for about 50 dollars and change each night and that’s only an hour drive to the concert each way, which is not too bad.
If anyone know of hotels just as cheap and not in a high crime area, I’d appreciate the information.
And if there’s a few caches nearby, that’s a bonus 😉
07/24/2009 at 2:01 am #1911278Well I can help to tell you where the crap areas are in the city. Anything that is cheap will be in those areas. There is a Super 8 in Germantown just off Hwy 45. There is another Super 8 in Wauwatosa or the Days Inn in Wauwatosa, which are in nicer areas and both of these put you close to the Milwaukee County Zoo. There is a Super 8 in Saukville/Port Washington. I have not stayed in these hotels so I can not verify their hotelness. All of these will put you closer to Milwaukee than Sheboygan. Hope this helps.

We stayed in this one last fall when we went to a Brewers game. It was decent, no problems.
07/24/2009 at 3:36 am #1911280There is a Super 8 in Waukesha also. It is right off of I94 and only about 20 min at most from downtown. It has a wide variety of food within 10 min plus around 50 caches within a 3 mile radius.
07/24/2009 at 4:30 am #1911281You should stay with the Vegas Gambler. He stays in the basement now days. You could probably get the rest of the house cheap.
07/24/2009 at 11:31 pm #1911282Found one. Econo Lodge near airport for about 52 bucks a night plus tax and not far at all from the amphitheater.
And plenty of caches in the area to boot 😉

I’m in the basement, my wife gets the rest of the house.
07/25/2009 at 4:54 am #1911284I just drove up Port Washington Road in Mequon today and noticed The Chalet. It looked pretty decent from the outside. I would say 10-15 minutes to downtown, and another five to Miller Park. Much closer than Sheboygan. If I get a chance, I will try to look it up for you.
