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.

Enjoyable stay

Comfortable Hotel. Very pleasant stay. Great room with a refreshing and nicely tiled bathroom. That evening prior to going to a Summerfest event I had a delicious Turkey BLT. I also had breakfast the next morning I asked for a waffle with berries on top along with chicken sausage. The server and the kitchen created a perfect breakfast for me. Thank you Iron Horse Hotel for taking such great care of me!

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.
