“Amazing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

I travel all over the world, for both pleasure and business. I have been very fortunate to stay at a lot of very interesting places. This rates up there among the best. I won't repeat all of the other glowing parts of the other reviews. I would simply say: when in Milwaukee, stay here! More

Very nice and unique hotel. Large comfortable rooms, nice bar, very good restaurant and free wifi. Who could ask for more? Be aware however that freight trains do rumble behind the hotel at all hours of the day. I was awakened at 4:02a the first night there. The room does vibrate as the engine passes and you can hear the... More

I am sorry to hear that the train woke you up so early in the morning. The train effects everyone differently. We have earplugs in our rooms for our guests that just need a little extra sound control but for our guests that need a little more we prefer to give them rooms on the South end of the building....

You don't need to be a Harley rider to enjoy this hotel! My husband took me here for a night for my birthday and this was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. I totally admit that I am a "hotel snob" - and this place exceeded all of my expectations. Everything was spotless and plush and the price... More

Thank you so much for the great review. I am sorry to hear that you were here on a Sunday when Smyth is closed for dinner. The food is exceptional and I hope you will have the chance to try it on your next visit. Thank you for the review. More

I booked a night at the Iron Horse Hotel particularly for my husband who has been a Harley rider for nearly 50 years. We were heading to Northern Wisconsin for the holidays and I wanted to show him my hometown along with a tour of the Harley museum. I figured a night in the Iron Horse was worth it just... More

This place is fabulous in all departments, the customer service when we checked in was a clear indication that this place set their standards very high. The room was spotless and the decor was industrial yet romantic...I know that seems like an oxymoron but just trust me on this. the room itself was so beautiful...high ceilings and exposed brickwork with...
