Everyone from the valets to the housekeepers were top notch—front desk and barkeep included. Professional, friendly, and helpful. Room was well laid out and comfy; just a couple minor maintenance things, and since it looked like it could be an adjoining room, there was a bit of sound leakage. Wish it had a microwave; there’s one in the lobby. Impressed there was a sort of library room. No pool, but a weight room and spa (my bad to not make a reservation soon enough to have a massage darn it!). My cat made all sorts of new friends—so happy to find a hotel of this caliber that not only allows felines, but welcomes them. A tad tricky to find the first time(but then again it was dark), but a breeze after that and easy access to downtown, museums, lakefront etc. Ate at “Branded” their causal bar and it was tasty, and not terribly expensive for a hotel restaurant. Valets/front desk gave excellent recommendations for local food. Very unique decor and ambience far away from cookie cutter. Will definitely be on the top of my list next time I visit Milwaukee.

I have stayed at the Iron Horse a number of times. Over the last 2-3 years I have noticed a decline in the service, cleanliness, and maintenance of the rooms. Not ready to give up on it yet, I love staying there. Hoping it can bounce back.
