Iron Horse over booking
They over booked our room and we were told to stay somewhere else the first night. The second night we were told our rooms were comped. That night and the next. Only one was comped it should have been two since my original booking was for (one room two queens) We ended up with separate rooms but I was charged for it.

Booked this hotel. Thought it was going to be better. Too expensive for what you get. No bottled water available in the room. Morning shower was cold as there was no hot water available. $40 for parking. Cleaning staff kept knocking on door in am. One even opened the door despite me saying we are still here. Save your money and book at a 3 star hotel where you’ll get free parking and included breakfast. The room will be just as clean and nice.

Valet was $40/night. Parking was supposed to be included with my Expedia perks. While checking in I was told that it was not included so I parked elsewhere and paid for the garage next to the hotel. I was very disappointed to find out at checkout that parking WAS included and she was unable to adjust to compensate for what I paid on parking. Poor customer service!!

Without question my favorite hotel in Milwaukee. So much more convenient than any property downtown and the views of the city cannot be topped. The bed makes me happy every time and the shower is supreme. I could go on and on... one last thing - the snacks are perfect and locally sourced. The best chocolate bar and popcorn anywhere. BRAVO, Iron Horse. BRAVO!!

Great room, great staff...wonderful food!
We stayed at Iron Horse for our first anniversary and went back for our fifth. We are never disappointed. The staff there is extremely friendly and attentive. When we mentioned it was our anniversary, Shy (I believe that is her name) wanted to do something special for us but we politely declined. She was by herself and doing an exceptional job of keeping everyone happy. We will definitely back before our 10 year anniversary! :)
