Some of the best staff I’ve ever seen.
Zair and Leo handled our valet service quickly and helped us get in and out without hassle. Oliver at the front desk is really good at what he does. We liked that the hotel is pet friendly, a short walk from a lot of places to eat and drink, and that the rooms are spacious and welcoming. It’s a nice place that does not feel like a corporate clone of every other hotel out there.

Iron Horse for the Win
Valet at check-in was top notch. The young man had only been on the job a week, and had expert Customer Service skills. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Walkable neighborhood. “A” for 3PM check in, and before 12PM check-out. Would definitely stay again.

Customer Service
We were there for a wedding reception. Food was cold. Pizza at 9pm was not properly cooked. (Crust was raw). My wife and I went to the bar before the reception for a drink and the bartender passed her over several times and waited on people that came after her. Was told by the Groom and Bride 3 times we could be in the room block. To no avail your staff had a different story when we called for a reservation.

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.
