The hotel has a lot of character. Great rooms, very comfortable bedding. Superb shower. Upon check in, they had no knowledge of our free valet parking. They said it was not in their system. But, the kind check in person Shay said she’d take my word for it and manually put it in their system. Nice bar area. Sadly no happy hour on Sundays.

Iron Horse disappointed

To be honest, I was disappointed with the Iron Horse. It is billed as a luxury hotel and it has luxury prices but it lacks in luxury. The toilet paper and Kleenex they used was very cheap. There is no hotel maid service unless you ask for it which wasn’t shared with me at Checkin, the hotel staff were scarce and hard to find and parking for visitors of guests was ridiculous.

Hotel is very nice Room clean Amenities are good (restaurante, bar). Limited options in the menu, but food was good. Service is below average. Front Desk refused to have my room clean after a request at 1:30pm. Cleaning staff still in the premises. I was told that I should have asked for the room to be clean prior to 10:00 am, which I was not told about when I checked in. Even at that, for the rates they charge, room cleaning should be a given.
