The Iron Horse Hotel
As we pulled up it was confusing as to where to go or park or stop for valet. Once we figured it out I will say our valet nick was fantastic. Unfortunately that was the only thing fantastic. The place was absolutely packed for a derby event. Our fault for not checking that before. Not the hotels ...

Drury Plaza Hotel Milwaukee Downtown
Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel
Getting here was easy, right off the freeway by the mall. The lobby is nice, and check in was easy. Worth noting to check conferences happening here, was very busy during my stay.

Ambassador Hotel Milwaukee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
The bar was great! Reasonable drink prices and 1/2 price apps. The bartender was very friendly. We used the shuttle to go to the Brewers game and that was great! I also felt safe at this property. I liked the gated parking and it was easily accessible. We will stay here again.

The Pfister Hotel
The Pfister is an incredible place to stay! However, given it was Kentucky Derby night, I could not get in house dining to pick up the phone for over 45 minutes. The front desk and the concierge were very helpful!
