Boujee place. Felt like someone important.

Awesome place to stay if you like being in the city. Only bike parking available. I drove a truck and had to pay quite a bit for parking off property. The restaurants were not great. But the people there were. The staff and guests were friendly. Bar didnt quite have the selection I would of liked. But I did enjoy it.

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!

This property is beautiful and has great vibes inside and out. But our room wasn’t ready until about 90 minutes after check in time and that was after checking in it multiple times. We also asked for adjoining rooms which they could not accommodate. Our waitress at the bar outside was very sweet but the food and drinks took a long time. Just seems to not be running great overall. Not sure due to staffing?
