Classy property, Very friendly and welcoming staff. I was given a free upgrade to a corner suite, which was much appreciated. Bathroom was spacious and exceptionally clean. My only minor complaint would be the lack of on-site parking. It wasn't an issue for me because I received free valet parking as an Expedia Silver level member. Valet staff was outstanding though. I just prefer not to valet park. This was second stay here. Would stay here again at the right price point.

Great place!

We had a fantastic stay at the Iron Horse Hotel! Every staff person was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to take care of anything we needed…..no matter what their job was! Hannah (I believe she was the supervisor of the housekeeping service) took such good care of my older parents, she was amazing!

6/10 Rating

The Iron Horse does a lot right. But there is a "lipstick on a pig" vibe regardless. First off, the staff are VERY friendly. The front desk person and bartender were very welcoming. SKIP the valet parking - it's $44 and the parking structure spots, just spitting distance from the hotel, are $16/night. In our room, the hot water on the sink and the jets in the tub were broken. The beds and sheets are SUPER comfortable. The cabinet housing the fridge was falling apart - with the particle board disintegrating. Breakfast was overpriced and very gross. Watery/salty eggs. I would opt for a nearby breakfast elsewhere - there are many options.

A Hotel Worthy of Going on Our Favorite List

We had an amazing stay at the Iron Horse Hotel. Everything from the condition of the room, the service staff, and the bartender was excellent. The hotel is a quick easy walk to the Harley Museum.

Iron Horse Hotel

Stylish, masculine, with a dash of industrial. We really enjoyed this hotel. Look forward to coming back after winter! We definitely did not take advantage of offered amenities (coffee and breakfast brought to room, massages, etc) but will next time!

Great place

I love this hotel, my only complaint is parking…. Valet parking is always a choir to deal with. It’s supposed to be free with my Gold status and they won’t give me my car until I jump through hoops.
