Super cute and clean. Loved everything about it. Patio area for sitting outside was nice. The room had convenient plugs on the nightstands for phones. Convenient location to shops and restaurants. Only "difficult" part is parking. There is a lot behind the hotel but not dedicated to this hotel and was full when we got there. We parked somewhere else and later on, moved the car. So it worked out. Will stay here again for sure!!!

Loved! So clean and charming. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference, night lights, a wealth of electrical plugs next to the bed, coffee room with lots of choices, no yucky carpet, fridge and microwave, walkable to stores and restaurants. Stayed in many hotels on my trip and this was a standout.

Parking was easy and secure. Room was clean, liked the coffee maker, that was different. huge selection of KPODs and it was in the coffee room, instead of your room.

The rooms are completely updated and very nice. No Exterior lights leading to the rooms so it is extremely dark and dangerous at night. The stairs leading to the rooms are extremely steep so extreme caution is necessary especially when coming back to the room after dark

Have stayed here numerous times throughout the years and each time we have enjoyed our stay. The rooms are small but functional, wifi works well, courtyard is beautiful, Starbucks coffee machine has great coffee at no charge, and you can walk up and down the Historic downtown without getting in a car. We'll be back!

Truthfully, The iron horse inn was terrible. The room was nothing like the pictures. I'm sure the used that app that help see how it would look with furniture and what not. The bed made squeaky noises. A/C took hours to cool down. Towels had brown stains. I could go on but what for. I hope the owner puts more effort in getting new towels and better beds. Sorry but not sorry.

Located in the heart of Cottonwood. Charming courtyard type motel with history. Updated rooms and bathrooms. Walking distance to restaurants/bars/shopping. Everything was perfect except the bed was a little uncomfortable. Not sure if it was just the room we stayed. Other than that parking is free, and 24hour complimentary , coffee/tea room (self serve). We will stay here again, and maybe try another room to see if the beds are different.

The Iron Horse is old but nicely updated. Close to shopping, wine tasting, and several breweries. The rooms are around a courtyard that people party in and it gets loud. Posted no noise after 10:00PM but is not enforced.

Room was very small but the amenities made up for the smallness. This is a lovely boutique hotel that is extremely clean and has the most comfortable beds and all the amenities of 5 star larger hotel chains. The location is in the best walkable location of Old Cottonwood for shopping, great restaurants, a brewery, and wine tastings.

Our email prior to checking in said that we had paid already, since we had made these arrangements months ago, we really didn’t remember if we did . When we went to check our email, the clerk at the hotel was very rude - saying that the email just said that because we held our room with our credit card and that she wasn’t charging us twice. I didn’t appreciate her tone. I think, first that the email should not have said paid, and maybe should say pending. The other issue I had was that someone tried to use a key to open my door while I was inside my room! I opened the door and they had already walked back down the stairs. I told the desk clerk and she brushed it off. I’m not sure if I would recommend this place.
