No Fire Arms allowed here :( -
Jenna & jen in the households -
Don't eat here! -
Beer cheese soup! -
Get the Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sandwich at Branded. It is amazing!! -
Very nice place to stay! Very clean, relaxing and unique. Lots of history facts around the hotel! Beds are comfortable, flat screen tv mounted in room! Definitely reccommend staying here! -
The servers seem to forget the 4sq check-in specials and need reminders when you pay. -
Even the bathrooms are gorgeous -
The Sandia is amazing....watermelon vodka and other secret stuff -
You don't need to be 40 to enjoy the Old Fashioned here. Delicious! -
-
the coolest hotel in Milwaukee by far! Biker-chic- great place to stay! -
Seriously don't want to even joke about this hotel... It's that neat! But, since I have to: Hotel is so committed to sustainable practices you have to request new towels from previous guest. -
-
Absolutely the coolest place to stay in Milwaukee. Great bar, great staff, LOVE their DLTs and mojitos! -
Awesome hotel with great charm! Bar and restaurant are worth trying out as well. -
dog friendly...look out for Miles on Friday nights -
This hotel service at valet parking and check in/out is the best I have ever had, anywhere. Each and every attendant had amazing interpersonal skills. Other hotels should take lessons. -
Amazing hotel, best staff ever. But skip breakfast in the library if you're short on time. Takes a while. -
There is a lot of history in there, ask for a tour! -
It's hard to find a reason to get a hotel room when the hotel is 2 miles from my house. But Iron Horse had about 26 reasons. Coolest hotel in Milwaukee. Worth staying at even if you live here. -
Arguable the coolest place to stay in Milwaukee. But for locals? Two Words: The Yard.
Great Place
The Hotel is really nice, the rooms were spacious and the staff is courteous. The bar scene was great! The only small issue was that the shower temperature was luke warm. Will stay there again on next trip.
