Recent Iron Horse Hotel Review: "I am not a typical Man. I do not usually conform to trends or mainstream. I have a unique taste, style and a need to feel inspired by my surroundings. Last weekend I wanted to treat my lady to a romantic getaway. I wanted to find a Hotel that fit the bill and would be more than just a space to stay. I wanted high-end unique! Modern and One of a kind.  I wanted to find a hotel that we would never forget. We found it...The Iron Horse Hotel was like nothing I had ever seen. From the professionally groomed website to the drinking fountains. From the Bar staff to the Wall Murals. The Iron Horse Hotel pushes the Modern-Industrial design pallet to the limits and wows you with every inch. Many mainstream hotels chains lure you in with primitive amenities like continental breakfast and a free newspaper. The Iron Horse Hotel will literally reach out and grab you by the shirt collar and transport you to a whole new level of Unique hotel stay experience. The staff, the food, the Valet service, the Drinks, and the house keeping staff are professional and second to none! The Iron Horse Hotel is worth every penny and will forever raise the bar in your hotel selection and requirements in the future! We had a Blast and will come back soon! 4 Thumbs UP!"
