10/10 Exceptional

Nov 12, 2025

The Iron Horse is a great hotel in the burgeoning Walker's Point neighborhood. It is in what was once an industrial area, and the hotel blends the industrial with the modern beautifully. We had a corner room, a Custom Deluxe King, which had plenty of room and was comfortable once we got the thermostat figured out. We had an event about 6 blocks away that we were planning on walking to. With the neighborhood described as "industrial", I was a bit hesitant to walk back at 10:00 pm, but the area has a lot of restaurants and businesses, and we felt very safe. If you have a car parking is an additional charge for valet services. The hotel has a restaurant for breakfast, but the Greige Patisserie is a nearby and a great option.

The hotel is dark, dingy and dusty. The lighting is cool but gives off no light. The room was too dark to put on make up. Our room was very dusty. Curtains dusty and the air return vent filters look like they were never changed. Overall, what we could see, the hotel and rooms look and feel dingy. Chipped dishes at breakfast. The mattress and pillows seem to be as old as the building, very uncomfortable. Cool looking place, very friendly staff, and great location in Walker's Point. But, don't think we will stay there again unless we want to be in Walker's Point.

We’ve stayed here quite a few times but not recently. Heard in the media the owner is going through a bankruptcy. It shows. Place has become a dump.

All of the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. There was an issue with our room (bad smell). The hotel manager Shai immediately upgraded us to another room and the issue was solved. Beds were comfortable and cozy, bathroom was spacious, clean, with nice amenities. Would highly recommend!

The staff was incredibly kind and friendly. Room was spectacular, parking was easy and affordable, and the hotel and brooms are beautiful. It was an absolutely amazing stay, close to so much to do in Milwaukee. Will definitely be coming back here.

Iron Horse disappointed

To be honest, I was disappointed with the Iron Horse. It is billed as a luxury hotel and it has luxury prices but it lacks in luxury. The toilet paper and Kleenex they used was very cheap. There is no hotel maid service unless you ask for it which wasn’t shared with me at Checkin, the hotel staff were scarce and hard to find and parking for visitors of guests was ridiculous.

Not great- service lackadaisical

Service not a priority- from carrying your own bags up the front stairs, to not cleaning rooms, to plastic cups in the outdoor bar, to general staff attitude. Third stay but place has slipped and will try somewhere else next time.

Disappointed

I’ve always liked this hotel but the service has declined. Housekeeping was no where to be found and the front desk was often-times vacant for long stretches of time. I waited 20 minutes for someone to check me out and no one ever showed up. Plus parking is quite expensive. It’s sad because the property itself is quite lovely.

Hotel has great potential. Very unhappy with lack urgency to repair issues with our room. No warm water for shower, clogged bathroom sink. With a staff of 5 standing in the restaurant and maybe 10 guests it took 2 hours for a salad and brat. Woman behind desk tried to help. Dont use valet. They charged us double and no one at company is willing to help. Do not stay here if possible
