VIP access included valet, which didn't work properly and I ended up paying for valet and requesting a refund (twice) which I finally received. Restaurant was excellent, and we enjoyed hanging out in the lobby with friends.

Not sure if you have to request turn down and cleaning of rooms but I stayed for 4 nights and not once did we have fresh towels or our room cleaned. It was a really busy weekend for the iron horse with the events going on so it’s understandable. However paying 1400 for the weekend I’d expect fresh linens and trash taken out daily. I had to call down to request fresh towels on day 3.

I checked out on February 1,2025 and still haven't received my incidental fees back. I've been in contact with the hotel for three weeks with promises of calls and the money being returned to me. But, the accountant at the Milwaukee location hasn't called me or sent my money back.

Great vibe: unique biker-industrial atmosphere was fun so well done they it made it enjoyable to stay there. Great bar and casual, comfortable lounging area…so many options! The breakfast and lunch options are the big disappointment- not great choices and way overpriced for what you get. We didn’t try the formal dining restaurant but it looks great…
