I had a blast during my stay at The Iron Horse Hotel! The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to make me feel special. My room was spacious, clean, and had all the nice amenities one could want. However, the dining experience fell flat, with some slow service and cold food during breakfast. Overall, though, I’d definitely come back for the vibe and comfort!
