We’ve stayed here numerous times over the last five years and it seems to be going downhill. The breakfast in the library used to be excellent but now it’s served in the Ash and it’s like pulling teeth to get service there. Food is not as good either. Our room was smaller than previous even though I booked the same type. No chair in the room or side table. Also, we could hear our neighbors whole conversation which normally every single room we’ve had was almost sound proof. So needless to say this left us quite disappointed. May not book here again after this.

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.
