We’ve stayed here before but this time it was different. The room was real run down- carpet was balled up like it had gotten wet or something. Smelled musty and the AC didn’t work well at all. Breakfast was weird. Half the menu wasn’t accurate. Couldn’t even get OJ. The menu items weren’t available. Seems like it’s being run by newsagent that doesn’t care to keep it the legend it once was. Hope that changes soon

This hotel is over priced for the location and amenities. The room was hot due to the AC not working properly and the shower door handle was broken. When I informed staff they gave me a coupon for a free drink to one of their onsite restaurants that was closed during our stay.

The staff is TERRIBLE at the front desk. First we get the surprise of $44/night for valet parking, no other option. They tell you how everything around is paying and no street parking just so you panic and pay the valet. Then we find out there is literally free parking everywhere around.
Then we get to check in, at 3:15pm, room is not ready. They say they will call us when the room is ready. No one calls, we return at 4:15pm and the room is ready with no one acknowledging that our request was ignored. Not one smile, not one concern from the front desk. Next day we go for breakfast, had to locate the hostess on our own, we finally get seated. We place an order, we get our food, there was ONE PIECE of toast cut in half with our eggs and bacon. So unbelievable cheap and awful presentation. I ask the waitress if it’s normal more attitude like I was disturbing her with my question and answers, “ya what’s the problem”…
Needless to say, couldn’t wait to get out of there….

Property, itself, was well-maintained. Staff was incredibly friendly. The room had some issues. 2 lights were out in the bathroom. And, the handle on faucet in the shower was broken. It worked - but, was difficult to use due to it being broken. Was disappointed as this was an upgraded room that staff made a big deal about when I was checking-in. For the amount I paid for the room, all lightbulbs should be working. The Iron Horse fell short on this trip. It is a great property. But, I was disappointed that the room ($300 bucks plus $100 pet fee) had broken faucet and 2 non-working lights.

We love this hotel and stay at in when we are in Milwaukee. There are lots of things to walk to (including the area Jeffrey Dahmer roamed). This hotel is right up our alley as it is a boutique hotel. It has a bar downstairs and a fun sitting area. The rooms are bigger than my first apartment, with that being said it did take quite a long time to cool it down to the artic temp I like.

Things have gone down hill. We used to love the iron horse and it was always a unique, cool place to stay but this last stay was not what we experienced in the past.

First the staff no longer are in uniforms. One staff member was wondering around (not sure what he was even doing) in blue jeans and “staff” shirt, the night hostess was in a black iron horse tshirt and black biking shorts, the morning hostess was in a light pink tshirt and pink sweat pants, and bar staff all in jeans and iron horse tshirts.

The lobby ac was not working, it was unexpectedly warm, especially on the hottest week of the year. When we checked in we got our room and upon walking in, there was already someone’s stuff in that room. The hostess was nice about the whole thing and switched us to another room. The new room had wall molding peel off the wall, the carpet was bunching up in one spot, the toilet leaked around the base and again the AC never got cold. Wouldn’t get below 75*.

After dinner we wanted to go to the bar but the inside bar was closed and only the patio open. That bar had a much smaller selection of drinks than expected. There was also a security guard pacing around the patio. He was just wearing black pants and a “security” tshirt. This was very tacky and unnecessary.

For a hotel with so much potential to offer an amazing and unique experience it was sad to see it in this state. We will not be returning until the aura and prestige of the original iron horse returns.

Iron Horse is an excellent property! The lobby and lounging areas are so well decorated and inviting, you want to spend as much time there as your room. But the rooms are huge with fabulous decor and amenities so you might not want to leave. We also had dinner at their restaurant - The Yards. We sat in the outdoor area which was spacious with an outdoor bar and various levels and areas to dine. The food was excellent. We only stayed for one night as we were passing through but we hope to get back to Milwaukee some time so we can enjoy a longer stay.

The lobby is beautiful and the staff is super friendly. The room was very clean! The shower glass wall partition into the room could be less transparent. You need to be comfortable showering and using the toilet in view of your spouse or partner… I think an exhibitionist designed it. We didn’t notice the great outdoor seating and bar area until we were waiting for our Uber to leave…. be sure to find it early! The coffee is only 6a.m.-10a.m., and they frequently ran out of either coffee or supplies. However, the coffee was very good! The room phone did not ring to the desk or concierge- just a busy tone, and there wasn’t any cleaning or towel service even though we were there 3 nights. Maybe they could use a door knob hanger to indicate room refreshing needed?
Overall we enjoyed our stay, although we expected more for the price we paid.

Iron Horse has so much potential….
Unfortunately, our stay was just “ok.” Beds were nothing special, actually didn’t sleep good at all. Our room was musty smelling from the time we walked in and the smell never went away. I noticed the wood on the ceiling looked to be wet and moldy. (Hence, more than likely the smell). That was a turnoff.
The shower was nice and big however the shower head is mounted on the ceiling and also has a handheld head in the shower mounted to the wall. It was quite a step up to get in and the water pressure was minimal. It was not user friendly to operate.

Shay was the front desk staff member on duty. She was amazing and brought a positive, happy smile to the desk. She was a delight and was very welcoming. It was a nice greeting.

The bar/patio area was fantastic. We ordered some food out on the patio and enjoyed a nice fire place and comfy couches. There were many people out enjoying these amenities and it was nice to see.
The Iron Horse in general is beautiful. Well constructed and has beautiful decor. I loved the full size motorcycles inside the Hotel.

It has a lot of potential to be a grand place to stay. Our stay was just ok but I would not rush back to stay again especially for the price of $450 a night.

Ironhorse is located in Walkers Point. Lots of restaurants and bars close by. Brewery and Distilly located almost across the street. Close to Harley Museum and American Familt Field. Very nice patio. We didn't eat at the restaurant because there were so many options close by. Parking can be a problem. Hotel only offers Valet parking. Lot and ramp almost next door are available for about half the price of valet. Check in was excellent. Desk staff was very helpful.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Someone broke into our room, flooded the bathroom sink, and the hotel charged me $250 while refusing to return my calls.
On 5/15 left our room with the do not disturb sign on the door. When we returned, our belongings had clearly been moved around and the toilet paper was soaked. I called for replacements and was told our room had flooded because we “left the sink on” and that we’d be charged $150.
I immediately spoke with the manager, Louis, and explained we absolutely did not leave the sink running. We had used the sink for 2 days with no drainage issues. Even if it had been left on accidentally, why would it suddenly clog and overflow? I asked him to check cameras or key logs between 3:45–6 PM while we were gone. He claimed there were no cameras but said he’d check the key logs and call me back. He never did.
A housekeeper later told me the exact same thing had happened to another guest a few days earlier — another “sink left on” flood that caused complaints.
The next morning, no manager was available before our flight. I left my information and never got a callback. I called again on 5/18 and was promised another callback from the GM. Nothing.
Today, I discovered they increased the charge from $150 to $250 for “damages” without explanation. Still no manager available.
This entire situation feels extremely sketchy. No communication, no accountability, no explanation, and multiple similar incidents. Stay away from this hotel.
