Expensive with no extras. Heck, you can’t even get coffee before 6am so early travelers are out of luck. Service was average. Nice and unique looking hotel but the value is limited other than the location.

Great location, tucked away but 10 minute walk to the 3rd Ward which is a great starting point for your visit to Milwaukee. Their patio is very nice as well w/ firepits, great selection of bourbon, etc.

I think the iron horse staff is top-notch. They were always willing to help and were very friendly. The place where the iron horse fails is the outsourcing stuff. They need to bring that back in house. The valet situation was confusing convoluted and generally pretty useless. Sometimes the car would be parked 5 ft away but it would still take 5 minutes to get it. They have this weird app system that doesn't really work very well. I'm told that it's a company that isn't actually part of the hotel. And I think that's a miss. Also my wife tried to get a massage and they literally gave her a phone number to call. Typically that is something I am used to the hotel setting up and providing.. at least at a high-end hotel. I think a lot of this is because of the effect of covid-19 and the pandemic. But I will assert, that the staff was very friendly and tried their best to keep us happy. The only other thing I can say is that these pipes and building somehow back feed sewer gas. Sometimes. Our room kind of smelled poopy. I have experienced this type of thing in various resorts in Mexico and the Bahamas. I didn't expect it in Milwaukee. If they can figure out a way to tighten up the efficiency of some of the property amenities, I would certainly return. If that's not possible, I might try elsewhere before returning.

When checking in front desk staff took 10-15 mins to get to the desk. When trying to reach someone at the hotel you get a phone tree and transferred to an agent off site who are very unhelpful and unprofessional. Late night shift staff was rude and unhelpful. Morning of check out housekeeping came around to our door and banged on door at 8:30 am to “see if we were still there”. Overall experience was the worst I have had yet at a hotel. Will not be staying here again and will not recommend to others
