Four Points by Sheraton (MKE) — 5311 South Howell Avenue, Milwaukee, WI, US

Park-and-Fly at Four Points by Sheraton (MKE): $4.95/Day, Quick Facts

Four Points by Sheraton charges $4.95/day for self-park park-and-fly at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE), with a shuttle that reaches the terminal in about 10 minutes. That is roughly a quarter of the official on-airport garage rate of about $18/day. The hotel sits at 5311 South Howell Avenue, less than two miles from the terminal, and holds a 3.6-star rating across 901 reviews. There is a 2-day minimum booking, so this lot fits trips of two nights or longer, not single-night runs.

What you actually pay vs the airport garage

The official MKE garage runs about $18/day, and short-term airport parking there climbs to roughly $9 to $13/day even on the cheaper decks. At Four Points, you pay $4.95/day. The gap compounds fast on a week-long trip.

A five-day trip costs about $25 here versus about $90 in the official garage, a roughly $65 difference. That spread is the entire reason park-and-fly exists at MKE. For travelers who would otherwise circle the economy lot or pay garage rates, the math does the persuading. Self-park means you keep your keys and your spot is not valet-shuffled. Aggregators like SpotHero list MKE off-site rates starting around $4.75, so $4.95 sits right at the floor of the market.

How the shuttle to the terminal works

The shuttle covers the ~2 miles between 5311 South Howell Avenue and the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) terminal in about 10 minutes. You park in the hotel lot, check in at the 24/7 front desk, and ride the hotel van to departures. On return, you call or text from baggage claim for pickup at the hotel-shuttle curb.

The hotel runs a 24-hour airport shuttle, with the first run around 4 a.m., so even pre-dawn departures are covered; exact frequency is not published, so call ahead to lock a pickup window. Build a buffer: aim to leave the lot at least 90 minutes before a domestic departure, more during early-morning banks when several flights push out at once and the van fills. The 24/7 front desk means there is always staff to dispatch the van even on a 4 a.m. departure, which is not true at every budget off-site lot.

Honest MKE park-and-fly comparison

Four Points is near the bottom of the price ladder at MKE. The only cheaper option, the Radisson at $4.50, carries a poor 2.9 rating. Spend about $2 more than Four Points and the Crowne Plaza buys you a 4.0 rating. Here is the full field, rates and ratings as listed.

The pattern is clean: price climbs with rating. The two cheapest lots, Radisson and Four Points, sit at 2.9 and 3.6. The 4.0-plus tier starts at Crowne Plaza ($6.95) and runs up to Exec-Park ($8.50, 4.6 stars but only 99 reviews). Four Points is the best-rated of the two rock-bottom options, and its 901 reviews give that 3.6 more weight than a lot rated on a handful of opinions.

Is Four Points worth it?

Yes, if your priority is the lowest defensible price at MKE. Four Points is the budget pick: $4.95/day, a 3.6 rating backed by 901 reviews, 24/7 staffing, and a 10-minute shuttle. You accept a middling rating in exchange for paying roughly a quarter of the official garage.

The Radisson is $0.45/day cheaper but its 2.9 rating signals real friction, slow shuttles, lot or billing complaints, the kind of thing that turns a $2 saving into a missed flight. For 45 cents a day, Four Points buys a meaningfully better track record. The honest counterweight: if a smooth experience matters more than a few dollars, Crowne Plaza at $6.95 and 4.0 stars is the upgrade. On a five-day trip that is about $35 versus $25 here, a $10 premium for a clearly better-rated operation. Four Points wins for the price-first traveler; Crowne Plaza wins for the rating-first traveler.

When this is the wrong choice

Skip Four Points if any of these describe your trip.

• One-night trips. The 2-day minimum means a single overnight still bills as two days (~$9.90). For a quick out-and-back, the official short-term garage or a rideshare may pencil out better once you factor the minimum.
• Rating-first travelers. If a 3.6 makes you nervous, Crowne Plaza (4.0, $6.95) or WallyPark (4.1, $8.06) cost a couple dollars more per day and rate higher. The price gap on a short trip is small.
• Very short stays where rideshare wins. A round-trip rideshare from central Milwaukee to MKE runs roughly $40 to $50 total. On a 2-day trip, parking here is about $10, so parking wins easily. But on a sub-24-hour turnaround paired with the 2-day minimum, run the rideshare math before booking.
• You need guaranteed frequent shuttles. If you are on a tight connection, call ahead to lock a pickup time rather than assume on-demand service.
