Two hotels within a mile of State Fair Park and two by the I-894 interchange, with distances, amenities and what to book around in August and December.
Hotelguides.com lists four hotels with West Allis addresses, and they split neatly in two: a pair near State Fair Park on the east side and a pair by the I-894 interchange on the west. All four hotels in West Allis are chain properties with free breakfast, an indoor pool or both, so the choice mostly comes down to location and what you are in town for.
Here is each one, how far it sits from the fairgrounds and the rest of town, and what to book around in August and December.

Booking for State Fair week
The state fair runs 11 days in August, and in 2026 it ran August 6 to 16. Fair parking cost $18 Monday to Thursday and $22 Friday to Sunday in 2026, card only, which is worth weighing against a hotel a few blocks away.
The parking lots open at 9 a.m. and the gates at 10 a.m., and only right-hand turns are allowed in and out of the gates on surrounding streets during the fair. Cream puffs from the Original Cream Puff Pavilion and cashless gates are part of a day at State Fair Park in August.
Staying over for Candy Cane Lane
Candy Cane Lane lights up the blocks between Oklahoma and Montana avenues and 92nd and 96th streets from November 27 to December 25 in 2026. The Holiday Inn Express on West Lincoln Avenue near 101st Street is on the same southwest side of town, and Candy Cane Lane 2026 runs nightly from 5 or 6 p.m.
What is close to each hotel
From the Home2 and the Hampton, the market, the taprooms and a night out on National Avenue are all within about a mile. From the two west-side hotels, the golf course, the pickleball courts and Henry Flach's are the nearby stops.
The market, the fairgrounds and Greenfield Park, three of the West Allis highlights, each sit within about a mile of one of the four hotels.
