The hotel staff were very attentive. The restaurant and bar are great! The art displays are very cool! The whole vibe of The Iron Horse is very cool! The only drawback is that the walls are thin and there was a wedding on site - needless to say, our neighbors had a bit too much fun and woke us at 4am. Hotel staff responded immediately to our call and all was well.
