Reserved on-site parking is a major plus, and the historic property includes lobby games plus an attached bar/casino and pizza spot. However, the elevator is often out of service, so upper floors require stairs; some note tight parking spaces.

Worked perfectly for us. Free fountain pop and games in the lobby were a nice treat. Will look to stay here first on our next visit to Deadwood.

Cool historic building in the heart of downtown within walking distance to main street. The staff was very friendly and personable. The bar downstairs is fun and they had live music both nights we were there. Highly recommend!

Only negative is there’s no elevator, as repairman hasn’t been here to get it taken care of. 25 steps to second floor room every time we return.

This is a great historic hotel/casino. It has onsite parking, a pizza place, a bar downstairs with Prime Rib on Saturday nights, and also another restaurant on the back. Our room was clean, it had a little bar with refrig and a great shower. Wonderful customer service!! We would definitely visit this hotel again.

For those of us who enjoy hotels with lots of history, this is your place. For now, it is a bit of a diamond in the rough- not a current good choice for those who like squeaky clean and fully equipped/well lit amenities. This historic 1880s – 90s property lacks some modern amenities. But I bet it’s going to improve under current dedicated and friendly management. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here! Fantastic location right in the heart of historic Deadwood. Parking is on site, but a bit cramped, so you’ll need to exercise your back- up skills.

Check in was easy. Troy is a gem and made us feel right at home. Room was small but quaint and very clean. The over all Nostalgia & history of the hotel was warm & inviting. Fresh coffee and cold drinks in the lobby free of charge. Parking was easy and included at property. Perfect location in downtown Deadwood. We highly recommend and will stay there again.

Nice to have our own parking spot. People were nice. The room was way, way too dark….No storage, chairs were so old, they squeaked. I know they go for a nostalgic look, but we only had 2 drawers to store things and we were there for two weeks. The room was large, but the carpeting had many stains on it, very gross. The A/C was controlled, we couldn’t adjust it below 69 degrees. Kind of tacky? I wouldn’t stay there again…😫

Very friendly and pleasant hosts! The room was really cool - comfy bed and a jet tub all very clean. The view from the window was AMAZING. The only slight downside was that the elevator was broken and 3 flights of stairs after a long day of travel isn’t fun but that is minor compared to how wonderful everything else was. Would absolutely stay again!

I very much enjoyed my stay. The room was exactly what I hoped for, with a great view of downtown and with a historic feel. Comfortable, clean, outlets for phones (USBC etc). I would encourage anyone looking for the same to book here. I'd like to thank all the staff as well for their guidance and assistance. It was my favorite room of the 17 day ride.

Like the location, value/price of the rooms, nice staff, clean rooms, onsite parking. The parking is tight so don't have a large vehicle. We booked the double bed jetted suite, would NOT call it a suite, very small with no exterior windows. Would not recommend that room, pay the little extra money for a different room. Overall we like this hotel and will book again just not that room.

Rustic old building, nicely updated rooms, but not so much as to remove the old style charm. Comfortable bed and nicely updated bathroom in our suite. TV and wifi work fine. No fridge, microwave or coffee pot, but there really isn't room forthem. Coffee available in the lobby as well as ice, so it's all good. Very friendly staff. Very helpful. Great stay.

I loved the charm and old-time feel of the Iron Horse. The location is perfect walking distance to all of downtown Deadwood. The location is quiet and feels safe. Ultimate perk? Parking on-site, right next to the hotel. As a solo-traveler who did not spend a ton of time in my room, I did not mind that the room was small. My experience with the owner/staff was wonderful! Exactly what I would hope when visiting Deadwood - a home away from home.

We wanted to stay in an older hotel that met the vibe of downtown Deadwood, rather than a new modern hotel, and Iron Horse Inn did not disappoint! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is included and the location is awesome. There’s also an old time casino with an adorable little bar attached to the hotel!
