Staff great, hotel itself not well-insulated from noise

My husband and I stay at a lot of Hampton Inns when we travel. So when we had a few days in Milwaukee followed by an early flight, we decided to stay at the Hampton Inn Milwaukee Airport. Our experience was mixed though, very unlike most Hampton Inns.
Pros: Very clean, staff was great and accommidating (even giving us a room away from the many families with infants/toddlers), great breakfast choices that changed each day, decent fitness center.
Cons: In a word--noise. We could hear literally everything outside our room from plane noise to car noise (including closing the car doors, starting the car, accelerating) to conversations in the parking lot to conversations in the hallway. The one thing we didn't hear was our next door neighbors. Furthermore, the A/C unit clunked noisily when it came on throughout the night, and the fridge shuttered every 20-30 minutes. The A/C unit did have a fan option (to create white noise) but didn't stay on constantly so it made the same noise as the A/C, just without making it cool.
Also, it was a 100% nonsmoking hotel, but our floor's hallway stank of cigarette smoke one day. I realize that's difficult for the staff to enforce. The tv remote in the fitness center didn't work, and the tv in our room had wavy edges on both sides of the picture with a blacked out area on both sides like someone had put a magnet on both sides.
Because sleep was our purpose for the hotel, both my husband and I wouldn't stay here again. Ultimately, this wasn't the fault of the local Hampton Inn staff but those who make decisions about the hotel structure, appliances, and electronics.
Perfect Stay

Very accommodating, very friendly, helpful staff from the desk to housekeeping. I loved the crisp clean comfort of the bed, the quiet location and set up of the room, everything was perfect and worth every dime.
Great Place to spend with your love one.

My wife and I spent a wonderful evening at the Hampton Inn in Milwaukee. Their entire setup was outstanding. We were able to use the office area to keep up on the internet and th fitness room which was great. The breakfast in the morning is just awesome, and would highly recommend it. We have decided that we will always stay at a Hampton Inn when we travel.
