This is a beautiful hotel. Stunning art, beautifully designed and creatively crafted. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Plus the lobby smells wonderful! Can I give it six stars instead of just five?
Phyllis, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Lobby and bar are gorgeous! Staff was great. Our room was lack-luster. Dusty, rumpled carpet. Have stayed here many times and this time, the room showed some age.

Agnes, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The service was excellent. The people were great and very helpful. Food was also good and so was the cleanliness, but you could see that the hotel was starting to get a little rundown with burnt out bulbs bad paint jobs and a few other things. For a high-end hotel I would’ve expected the condition to be better than it was But otherwise overall nice stay.
James, 2-night trip

LOVED our stay! We had stopped in for lunch and drinks years ago, and recently stayed here for a family get together on the lake. Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, sociable guests at the bar and pool table area.

All of the staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. There was an issue with our room (bad smell). The hotel manager Shai immediately upgraded us to another room and the issue was solved. Beds were comfortable and cozy, bathroom was spacious, clean, with nice amenities. Would highly recommend!

Close to many shops and attractions. Staff was amazing! Would stay here again.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Iron Horse is a great hotel in the burgeoning Walker's Point neighborhood. It is in what was once an industrial area, and the hotel blends the industrial with the modern beautifully. We had a corner room, a Custom Deluxe King, which had plenty of room and was comfortable once we got the thermostat figured out. We had an event about 6 blocks away that we were planning on walking to. With the neighborhood described as "industrial", I was a bit hesitant to walk back at 10:00 pm, but the area has a lot of restaurants and businesses, and we felt very safe. If you have a car parking is an additional charge for valet services. The hotel has a restaurant for breakfast, but the Greige Patisserie is a nearby and a great option.
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It smells so good as soon as you walk in the door. The desk staff were polite and gave us information about the surrounding area that helped fill our 2 night stay. I love the rustic/industrial feel of the property. We felt safe as we walked to the neighborhood bars and food trucks. We would stay again!
Tamara, 2-night trip

Annika, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is dark, dingy and dusty. The lighting is cool but gives off no light. The room was too dark to put on make up. Our room was very dusty. Curtains dusty and the air return vent filters look like they were never changed. Overall, what we could see, the hotel and rooms look and feel dingy. Chipped dishes at breakfast. The mattress and pillows seem to be as old as the building, very uncomfortable. Cool looking place, very friendly staff, and great location in Walker's Point. But, don't think we will stay there again unless we want to be in Walker's Point.
