    One of the better concierge breakfasts you'll find when travelling
    Travis P.

    Outstanding service with Marriott quality. So many hotels are similar in appointments, dining, etc, but Marriott offers a concierge level with free breakfast, happy hour, and non-alcoholic drinks and snacks all day. We also stayed at a four diamond hotel across the street on the same trip and the staff at Marriott tipped them for service. A+

    Ugh this is a hard one. It's more of a 3.5, but I'll go ahead and give it a 4. I'll say this: It was absolutely the most perfect location for my wedding at The Box MKE. Totally convenient for me and some guests. Ridiculously pricey, so most of our people passed on this hotel and opted for a cheaper one and an Uber ride in. The service was impeccable. I couldn't have asked for more accommodating employees. The Marriott has great customer service from what we experienced during our stay. We worked with the most wonderful sales coordinator, Kim. She made everything so smooth and she was so nice! If you're a bride, you'll appreciate working with Kim. She handles everything like a dream and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The communication was awesome. The Marriott sent us a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. When we couldn't figure out a door situation, they immediately sent someone up to help us. The room was clean, but smaller than I would expect of a king corner room that cost over $400 to stay at for two nights. This is the main reason why I'd rate it more of a 3.5, but considering other hotels in the downtown area are just as expensive, if not even more so, I decided to just go with a 4. We really did have a great experience. They say they don't charge you right away, but they do. They immediately take the money out of your account on top of a $50 insurance per night. We had the money in our account for it, but just in case you don't, be aware. They refunded the $100 insurance that week after they clean the room and see there's no damage. The slide the final bill under your door, assuming there's no damage to the room and after you're done, you just leave. Unless there's an issue with the bill, you can just return the keys to the front desk and be on your marry way. We live in Milwaukee so I doubt we'll be back. But we definitely enjoyed our stay and our wedding photos in the lobby turned out great! It was definitely a good choice for wedding purposes. Oh and they allowed us to do a room block for our wedding guests without any crazy stipulations, unlike all the other hotels we called to ask. Still a bit on the pricey side, but still better than us having to book our wedding with the Marriott.

    Nice new property that only recently opened. This is a "full service" Marriott which means that it has a restaurant, pool, concierge/executive lounge, and even a bellman to hail a taxi for you. It still has that "new hotel" smell. Standard Marriott amenities - coffee and tea service, lots of towels, comfortable bed, large flat screen television, power outlets in the lamps and plenty of power outlets at the work table. As is normal for "higher end" hotels, their Internet service is only free for Gold and Platinum levels of the Marriott Rewards program, otherwise it's $15/day. My room was mostly quiet. I could hear some noise from the hallway and I could hear some water noises from the neighboring bathroom. Nothing significant, but notable. Great staff in the executive lounge. Very friendly, very helpful. A really nice space. UPDATE: All rooms have a space for a refrigerator but they do not have fridges in all rooms. They're working on this. No ETA.

    ***This new Marriott has a great location (within walking distance of Milwaukee's beautiful lakefront area); it also showcases many of the benefits of being a new hotel like a contemporary and sleek decor; room rates are too high though*** The Milwaukee Marriott Downtown is a new hotel and that alone sets it apart from many Marriott properties. Marriott properties just do not feel that contemporary. Even when a Marriott has been renovated, a lot of the property feels dated and even the renovated parts feel too close to the standard Marriott look. This new Marriott feels a lot different though. The lobby's sleeker, more modern, and more tongue-in-cheek look (bookcases in a very minimalist and stone, non-fabric room) that aligns more closely with Marriott's stylish Renaissance brand. The Concierge Lounge also has a very modern look that is more like the lounge area of a contemporary restaurant than the annex room-like Concierge Lounges at many Marriotts. Hallways feature great looking white doors. The carpets though have that horrible floral pattern that is too much like the out-of-date Marriott properties. Rooms, for the most part, stand out when measured against other Marriotts. I really liked the white doors as well as the little white wood and glass nook for the coffee machine and ice bucket. There was a well built closest with a nice door as opposed to those occasionally flimsy, sliding door contraptions at many Marriotts. There were other nice touches too like glass shelves for toiletries in the bathroom and contemporary artwork on the walls. There were other areas where this new room felt like a standard Marriott. The bed was comfortable, but its headboard, its lighting, and the other furniture were very much standard Marriott equipment. The shower was nice with a good wide cascade of water. Unfortunately, it was not a glass shower though it was incredibly deep so it might work well as a bath tub. I felt the room could have also used an in-room safe. The 24-hr fitness center was nice--very well laid out with a good variety of machines with useful displays. Marriott Rewards Gold and Platinum members have access to the Concierge Lounge and it is a good one. It has a great look--very modern and organized. The counter area is attractive and it is a great platform to showcase food. There is also a variety of seating from several tables to a warm, study-like area with more comfortable seating options (big couch) and a flat screen TV. For breakfast, this Concierge Lounge features your standard Marriott Concierge Lounge breakfast options, but the scrambled eggs were fluffy, moist and not soupy. The bacon was good, crispy and meaty. There was also a variety of individual cereal boxes, oatmeal, and fresh fruit. There were also a few standard Marriott Concierge Lounge breakfast breads and pastries. For dinner, they were offering cheeses and cured meats as cold items. The cheddar cheese was standard stuff, but they were also offering brie, which you do not see at every Concierge Lounge. The cured meats were more flavorful and more like charcuterie than the sliced deli meats you get at most Marriott Concierge Lounges. For hot items, they had crispy duck spring rolls, which were fine--decent crispness but the filing was skimpy and dry. There was also chicken satay, which was tender, pretty moist and came with a sweet and sour sauce that had a fair amount of heat (I also liked the nice touch of little dishes for their side sauces). Service was very good. The entire staff was polite, professional and friendly. The staff had a very consistent personable vibe that shows the management's strength in hiring and training. Room rates are high here. This Marriott is also at a very high rewards category so it takes a lot of points to stay here if you do not want to pay their high room rates. This hotel is still new though; maybe their room rates will come down in time. This is a very good, upscale Marriott; its newness really pays off because this Marriott stands out in several ways compared to other Marriotts. While it has a great location (a short walk to the beautiful lakefront area), room rates are too high. However, if you can get a reasonable room rate here, you are likely to have a very satisfying stay. Valet parking is available at $30/night. The valets are very pleasant and quick.

    Beautiful old building that houses this Marriott in downtown Milwaukee. A very nice lobby welcomes you as you enter, as well as a spacious bar and restaurant. The rooms are well sized for the old historic building versions of hotels. Rooms are well appointed and in Marriott's usual clean form! The concierge lounge is a nice size with one half set up like library with couches and comfortable chairs! The food service side is well appointed and nicely presented in the mornings and evenings.

    Library off the lobby
    Steve A.

    Check-in was fast and efficient, and service was friendly. There's a cool library off the lobby. Our room had just been refurbished, and was like a brand new hotel. Valet parking is, of course, very expensive, and Internet is not included.

    Drab!

From the moment I walked in, the lobby was overwhelmed with a heavy, Axe body spray-like scent--so strong it felt like walking through a middle school locker room. I assumed it was temporary and that my room would be a relief, but unfortunately, it was worse. The room smelled musty, like a house that hasn't been aired out in years. To make matters worse, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls, which is unacceptable for a hotel at this level. Beyond that, the overall cleanliness of the hotel was lacking. For a boutique property, I expected a much higher standard, but the space felt worn and not well-maintained. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and the towels were rough--far from the soft, high-end feel you'd expect. The most concerning part of my stay, though, was waking up at 1:45 AM struggling to breathe. It genuinely felt like a reaction to something in the room--possibly mold or poor air quality. I initially thought I was getting sick, but after spending a few hours away the next day, I felt completely normal again, which makes it hard to ignore the room as the cause. If you have any respiratory sensitivities, be cautious. I contacted the front desk to explain the situation and was told checking out early without being charged for another night wouldn't be an issue. I even offered to return around noon so they could turn the room, but was told not to worry since they weren't sold out. When I returned later that day, there was no note, and the staff refused to honor what I had been told, citing the late checkout time. While I understand policies, the inconsistency and lack of follow-through were frustrating. I also dined at the hotel restaurant, which didn't help the experience. The food was overpriced for the quality--my salad was warm, fries were room temperature, and clearly sat out too long. Dessert was equally disappointing; the lemon tart was buried under an excessive amount of powdered sugar, making it unpleasant to eat. It's honestly a sad day when I transferred to a basic airport hotel--Hyatt Place Milwaukee Airport--and had a significantly better experience. The bed was more comfortable, the towels were actually soft, and even the shampoo and conditioner were noticeably better quality. On top of that, the Hyatt was spotless, which only made the lack of cleanliness at Iron Horse stand out even more. Overall, this stay fell far below expectations. Between the condition of the room, air quality concerns, cleanliness issues, and poor service recovery, I won't be returning.

However, it was very pricey and I think for the price, we shouldn't have had hair in the shower, a discarded tissue by the nightstand and .. something gooey on the phone. I know it's hard to find every nook and crannie of these rooms, but it is very expensive and compared to other hotels of this caliber/price, this was unusual. Hopefully an anomoly. I also thought we booked 2 queen beds but these beds were certainly only doubles - not so large when you've got 4 people staying in a room. Service was good when we were there, though I tried to contact them my email ahead of my visit (no reply) and also by phone where I wasn't greeted super warmly. However, upon arrival, we were welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine to check in and the staff at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. The pool is nice but not that large and depending on how many people are there, it can be tight. It's also near the upstairs restaurant, so you might get to wait at the elevator with half of the people in dressy attire and half in bathing suits. The artwork in the conference/event area is lovely and throughout the old part of the hotel is really interesting. I love quirky and this had a mix of historic and quirky which was nice. Parking was attached (just a different elevator if you're staying in the historic part of the hotel).

On a recent trip to Milwaukee, however, our experience with the Kimpton there was less than ideal. When we arrived on a Saturday to check in, they couldn't find our reservation and despite showing them receipts and proof that I had made one, it instantly set off bad vibes from the staff. Once they "found" our reservation, we were offered two complementary beverage coupons for the rooftop bar as an apology which we appreciated. Unfortunately, when we got to our room, we were put into a room with two queen beds - it was my husband and I traveling together, and when I called down to the front desk to request a king bed room, I was very briefly and rudely told that there were none available. A king bed was the type of room that I had booked and paid for, however. Trying to not let this phase me and ruin our short weekend trip, I decided to let it go and leave it be. The room itself was clean and spacious with good water, pressure and plenty of hot water. Our television didn't work, and when my husband called down to the front desk, he was very rudely told that it was affecting all of the televisions in the hotel. No solution or reimbursement was offered. We did partake in their complementary happy hour in the lobby from 5 to 6 PM and enjoyed a seasonal whiskey cocktail. And the rooftop bar had a nice layout with heated and covered patio space with fire pits. Normally, I rant and rave about how much I love Kimpton hotels but this one just missed the mark for me.

The bathroom was missing some basic amenities such as a soap dish, so I had to leave the bar soap on the counter. The shower's strong water pressure was really nice compared to the flow-restricted showers commonly found in California hotels. The staff experience was mixed. The night reception gentleman (working Monday through Thursday) provided outstanding customer service for his consistently warm and energetic greetings every time I passed. The night valet Martin also deserves special recognition for his outstanding service, sprinting to retrieve my car and showing remarkable attention to detail by noticing my night work schedule and trying to proactively have my car ready. However, the daytime valet service was disappointing. Two valets would unnecessarily retrieve my car together (Maybe one was shadowing the other). During these retrievals, one valet would sit on my belongings in the passenger seat (this happened multiple days). I later discovered after leaving Milwaukee that she damaged my glasses. Given the short distance to the garage, this practice seems unnecessary and showed a lack of respect for guest property. If they noticed stuff on the seat, they could've just walked back. For future improvement, I would suggest better attention to guests' personal belongings and a review of valet procedures.
