The Iron Horse Hotel
The staff was extremely helpful and cordial. The room was clean and well kept; our comforter had a stain on it though. The location is in close proximity to restaurants, which we loved. We will come again

Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel
The room was ok, but housekeeping was terrible!! I stayed 3 days and never got my room serviced! I spoke with the desk daily about this and was offered dinner and wine as comp. I declined but expected a discount from my bill… got none! They are off my list as a potential place to stay!

We chose this hotel for our anniversary stay the appearance of the room was nice but when you got down to the cleanliness the comforter was white and had dirt rings around the comforter. The bathroom floor was dirty. There was no soap so we actually checked out early and left
