The Iron Horse Hotel

Great hotel. Pricey, but the best hotel in Milwaukee

I would advise any person of color to not go to this hotel. I expected four star service and received none. The room was dirty, it had no shampoo, lotion , or soap and when I called down to get some, they never brought it up. The valet person at night was rude and wouldn't let us park to be able to check in. The valet person didn't think we were even guest because we are people of color, he told us right away to move our car or give him our keys, even before we checked in. They delivered dirty glasses to our room and only had enough coffee for one person, one cream and sugar pack. There is no other parking on street, if you stay at this hotel be prepared to spend $25 a day just to park at night. ...read more

One of the most unique hotels possible. Rooms are architechturally innovative, and public space fun and interesting. Bar is a gathering point for all of Milwaukee. Location is a challenge but worth it.

This hotel was great! Upon checking-in, we received complimentary booze and a free room-upgrade. THe staff was hip, but real nice...and the place was decorated amazingly, steam-punk style. I know that I really appreciated that the lobby smelled heavily of men's cologne; that might not impress everybody, but I felt like they were trying hard to make an atmosphere. Our room was modern, but old: reclaimed wood, huge antiqued-mural, some industrial accents, and some classic accents. Overall, a really cool hotel. ...read more

I really enjoyed our stay at the Iron Horse Hotel. I went with 4 girlfriends for birthday celebrations, and they treated us well. Not only did they comp us drinks / apps in the bar because our room wasn't ready, they set up champagne in the room for the birthday celebration. And the hotel has very professional but friendly and easy-going staff. I would definitely recommend the hotel to other leisure travelers, and hope to return in the future. ...read more

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who asked, and if they didn't ask I would tell them. The staff was wonderful and really made our stay special. They were always so quick to be helpful to tell of local hot spots and great places to eat. A big Thank You to the Iron Horse Staff!

Such a gem for the city of Milwaukee, the place is just fabulous! Dine @ Smyth in the hotel, food was so good.
