    Such a vibe!
    I’ve been staying at the Iron Horse once a week for work and I absolutely love it here! This hotel makes me feel like it’s a ‘treat’ being away from home for the night, it such a vibe. The rooms are fabulous, the bars are a blast and let’s not forget your complementary cocktail while checking in.
    NinevehSdeeiel Thank you for staying with us and your review. We are glad to hear you enjoy our service and vibe. We look forward to seeing you soon and welcome cocktail will be ready.

    Great visit!
    We stayed at the Iron Horse 7/24-26 with our little senior poodle. We were greeted by a very friendly front desk associate and checked in easily and quickly. Our request for a room upgrade was secured and we were even able to park for free in the spots in front of the building! A special touch is that they place your dog’s name on their VIPOOCH sign near the elevator along with a large water bowl and treat bowl. So cute! We stayed in room 220 which is a Cream City Studio room. Not too much of a view being on a lower floor but we didn’t really spend too much time in the room looking outside anyway. The room was so wonderfully spacious and very clean. I use a dialysis machine and we use a stroller for our senior dog and there was plenty of room for all our stuff! The beds are very comfortable and while there is no freezer or microwave in the room, the small refrigerator provided ample space for our own drinks, dog food, etc. On our first night we enjoyed cocktails and dinner at The Yard, a large outdoor patio connected to the hotel. Great happy hour drink and food specials before 6pm! (Food was very good and drinks even better!) We watched the Cubs play the Brewers and everyone did a great job keeping social distance and all the employees wore masks. I felt very safe the entire stay at the hotel. They encourage everyone to wear masks and they provide hand sanitizer just about everywhere for guests to use. Our second morning we preordered room service for breakfast. Our food arrived just a tiny bit late but very hot. Just FYI, gratuity is already included in your bill. Excellent coffee! There are quite a few of our favorite places within walking distance (Great Lakes Distillery, Lost Valley Cider, Purple Door Ice Cream) and lots of restaurants to order carry out or delivery. We can’t wait for our next stay!! P.S. Ask for your complimentary welcome cocktail! We had to ask for ours and only knew about because of another TA review.
    terrapin21 Thank you for the fantastic 5-Stars! I appreciate the time you put in to writing this review and am pleased you were able to experience the neighborhood as well as our own back "Yard" during your stay. We are all looking forward to your next visit with us soon! Best, Keanen Kopplin Go Brewers ;)

    Warm experience in a coooold city.
    After a rocky pre-stay start, I have to say that my stay at the Iron Horse was wonderful. I stayed there while attending my son's wedding. The staff, from Veronica at the front desk to Chris at the bar, was friendly and helpful. I felt like Veronica took good care of me by advising me NOT to go for a walk in temperatures that were below ten degrees. The front desk staff kind of thought I was strange for wanting to go out in the frigid weather, but I actually like cold weather. I really love the unique decor of the hotel from the lobby to the murals on the walls in the guest rooms. During a morning talk, Veronica explained that the hotel used to be a mattress factory and that the wooden columns throughout the hotel are original. My friends and I made friends with Chris, the bartender, who was hilarious. I think he was amused by us as well. And by the way, the chicken sandwich at the bar? Excellent! My son had a get together at the bar on the night before his wedding. That event was well received by everyone who attended. I appreciate the time and attention that the room coordinator, Raven, and the manager (whose name i don't remember right now) took to make sure that everyone in our party was comfortable and enjoying our stay. The Ash restaurant was excellent--great breakfast and steak. However, I think what I loved the most was the bedding. I slept really well on those fluffy pillows. If I ever visit Milwaukee again (not in the dead of winter) I will surely stay there again.
    Hi Michelle, Thank you for taking the time to write such a well written review of your stay. I'm glad that we were able to get past the initial 'pre-stay hiccups' and show you such a wonderful time. You had a fantastic group of family and friends celebrating and we deeply enjoyed having all of you here for such a special occasion. Now let's get you back here when it warms up! Warm Regards (pun intended), Keanen Kopplin

We’ve stayed here a few times to celebrate our birthdays/anniversary. Missing some of the personal touches it used to have, like complimentary cocktail at check-in and ice water in the lobby (since there was no bottled water in the room.) The valets were our favorite employees, and Scott and Leo were particularly kind and professional.

Service was amazing, rooms and showers were clean, food was amazing and it hosted great events. Our valet attendant Tevonta was extremely helpful and prompt. I’ll return do another stay. I come often for drinks but had never stayed.

As always a fantastic stay at the Iron Horse! Our valet, Leo, super kind and helpful. Great cocktails and food along with a chic vibe. My favorite place to stay when in Milwaukee there's not another hotel on the city like it.

Lovely stay, funky spot. Tevonta gave us 5 star service. Didn’t eat at any of the restaurants so we can’t comment on the food but there were lots of options. The paint and some of the decor felt a little tired.

I have never been to Wisconsin. It is a great, small sports town with friendly people. I went there on business and stayed at The Iron Horse Hotel. Not only was I greeted promptly before I entered the hotel by a Hotel person who immediately helped me with my bag, I was upgraded to a beautiful room with great views of the city. The room was comfortable, and clean I loved the great Kohler fixtures in the bathroom that made my shower experience spa-like. I loved the great breakfast that energize me as I went to my meeting.

Upscale Disney view of what Hog riders think luxury is. Exposed brick, rivets and leather was very 2009. But the staff make up for it. Prices are high for that corner room but not the price that was quoted. I mean $49 for Express what’s that. ?? Go to the museum thiught it’s across the River.

We hosted our son’s rehearsal dinner and wedding brunch at the Iron Horse. From start to finish, it was fantastic. Ann Marie was amazing helping us plan our events. Louie was great, as well. Jacob was in charge of our events and couldn’t have been more lovely. We had a block of rooms - 3 dozen rooms - family and friends and everyone had great things to say about their stay! We also need to mention Tevonta “Mr. T” at the valet. He was helpful and working hard all weekend! Top notch service all the way around! Thank you.

Very cool old converted building. Our room was huge and comfortable. The restaurant, Ash, has some great food. Service is awesome. But, you really need to hang out at one of the bars, either inside or outside. Both are gorgeous. The drinks are phenomenal. If you are there when Sway is bartending, and you like cocktails, definitely chat him up and ask about his personal additions to the menu, he is awesome and really knows his stuff. Also ask him about any drinks that aren't on the menu that he has come up with or is working on. So good.
