We had an amazing experience staying with The Iron Horse Hotel! I booked a room to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and this hotel had all of the luxury we were looking for and more. As soon as you arrive you are greeted by friendly valet employees who helped me park me car while we checked in. We chose to do park in the parking garage directly next door and it was very easy and a much better price compared to other options. Employees are on standby to open doors, which was such a nice addition. Check in was so convenient and pain free; they provided welcome drinks upon arrival, which was such a delightful surprise! The rooms have a great mix between an industrial and a luxurious feel which we loved! The room I chose had a beautiful city view, are soundproof, and share a wall with the shower, which was a treat. The beds are very comfortable, and the blackout curtains let us have a great sleep. We opted to have breakfast delivered to the room, and I’m so glad we did. The BLET and vanilla latte were delicious, and the portions were large for a very reasonable price. The bathroom is very sleek and overall cleanliness of the rooms was great. There is a rainfall shower head with a handheld attachment for convenience; the shower products provided have a more masculine scent but are still very nice to use. Checkout was at noon which I appreciated, and again, checkout was a very quick and smooth process. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel, and we will be back!

This is a great hotel and offers convenience to just about anywhere. It is beautifully decorated and the rooms are very nice. The parking is convenient but you do have to pay for it. The name of the hotel is only on two sides of the building (not the front of it) which was not the side we came in on so at first we didn't realize it was the hotel and passed it up. It's no big deal but would be nice if the front of the building had the name on it.
