I am now dying to stay at the Iron Horse Hotel after eating dinner and spending a Friday night at Branded, the bar inside the Iron Horse Hotel. The historic warehouse feel is perfectly complimented by cool antiques and furnishings, but the hotel is clearly hip, chic and modern. I hear each room is unique and their coat hooks can... More

Amazing service, amazing rooms, amazing structure and experience. This property embraces its history and heritage and that of the city. Murals are paint painted in the rooms, historical photos are captioned to provide context to the local stories and the lobby is filled with Harley and other Milwaukee memorabilia. While celebrating the history of the property and the city, the... More

After trying several other hotels and motels in the Milwaukee area, we found that this is just the most fun hotel in the area! The lobby, bar and restaurant areas are cozy and friendly. The staff are excellent, and the rooms are interesting and out of the ordinary. Great mini-bar in the room, and interesting artwork in the form of... More

My husband and I stayed at the Iron Horse in March 2011 and again this week. Upon our arrival this time, our room had been given to someone, so they upgraded us to the best room in the house. Not only is this room the one featured in all their advertisements, but it's also where we spent our first night... More

I travel all over the world, for both pleasure and business. I have been very fortunate to stay at a lot of very interesting places. This rates up there among the best. I won't repeat all of the other glowing parts of the other reviews. I would simply say: when in Milwaukee, stay here! More

Very nice and unique hotel. Large comfortable rooms, nice bar, very good restaurant and free wifi. Who could ask for more? Be aware however that freight trains do rumble behind the hotel at all hours of the day. I was awakened at 4:02a the first night there. The room does vibrate as the engine passes and you can hear the... More

I am sorry to hear that the train woke you up so early in the morning. The train effects everyone differently. We have earplugs in our rooms for our guests that just need a little extra sound control but for our guests that need a little more we prefer to give them rooms on the South end of the building....

You don't need to be a Harley rider to enjoy this hotel! My husband took me here for a night for my birthday and this was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. I totally admit that I am a "hotel snob" - and this place exceeded all of my expectations. Everything was spotless and plush and the price... More

Thank you so much for the great review. I am sorry to hear that you were here on a Sunday when Smyth is closed for dinner. The food is exceptional and I hope you will have the chance to try it on your next visit. Thank you for the review. More
