La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Appleton College Avenue

8/10 Good

"Good staff and the room was clean. The place was very dated, stained/damaged carpet, and the hallways were damaged. The breakfast had a low class feel about it. Plenty of hot water, in the shower, and the bed was decent. Even though I saved $100/night I doubt I’ll stay there again"

Quality Inn Appleton West

8/10 Good

"Didn’t try the breakfast but it looked minimal. The rooms could use an update. Doors were peeling and carpet is stained."

Travelodge by Wyndham Appleton

10/10 Excellent

"Wanted a close place to stay for our early morning flight. Worked out perfectly. Nice rooms. Hot water for tea made my day. Such a convenient place."
