Milwaukee Boutique Hotel Boasts Big Talent

MILWAUKEE, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- After hundreds of compliments from guests, immeasurable praise and adoration from fellow employees and dozens of TripAdvisor.com reviews calling the two out by name, standout Iron Horse Hotel employees James Valona and Graham Adams were awarded Outstanding Manager of The Year and Outstanding Lodging Employee of The Year by the American Hotel & Lodging Association, respectively. The two were recognized at the Stars of the Industry Awards held at the Arizona Biltmore earlier this week. Only ten others in the nation were recognized for these employee awards.

"We're honored that not one, but two Iron Horse employees were recognized this year," said owner Tim Dixon.  "With only twelve awards given out, that's pretty impressive. We couldn't be prouder of them."

Since the Milwaukee hotel's opening in the fall of 2008, both employees have become standouts amongst their peers, with Graham named Associate and James named Manager of the Year for 2009. Graham took the monthly title during the year and James took the quarterly honor. He was also named Milwaukee's Best Concierge by Milwaukeesbest.com

Graham and James continuously wow guests with their fun, enthusiastic attitudes and exceptional, down-to-earth personalities. Both display excellent leadership skills and set the customer service bar high for the other 100+ staff members that The Iron Horse Hotel employs.

"Our 100-room Milwaukee boutique hotel delivers an experience similar in style to New York or LA, but our Midwestern hospitality is what tells our story," says Dixon. "We have an excellent staff that keeps guests and locals coming back."
