    I wasn’t aware that the onsite pizza place is only available on weekends, as is the bar down stairs. Our stay was mid week so we lost out on enjoying those. The upstairs hall way is kind of dark, yet that’s the way the biking was built over 130 years ago.

    This hotel has so much character. Updated with the old style, but everything up to code and more. Beautiful rooms. Fantastic staff!! Close to Main Street with all the activities and old west feel!!

    Seriously...not one complaint! A great stay

    We love the iron horse inn!! We try to stay there everytime we go to deadwood. It's quaint! Old fashioned and quiet. The people there are always gracious! The rooms are always clean! Beds comfy! No complaints at all. The location is perfect a block off main street and the free parking! How nice to have that and basically park next to the entrance and right inside the door lobby and elevator! It is just perfect to us!

    Short bed for tall people.

    Quaint property, historic and very close to the main avenues of Deadwood making it very walkable. Staff were all so friendly and helpful. I did not try the pizza on Friday but others who did stated it was good.

    The Elevator was broken down and they were waiting for service. It didn't bother me as I am very fit, but my rather chubby, bad knee friend had a few issues with all the stairs. That would be his only complaint.

    I motorcycled down to Deadwood with a friend, searching for a brush with history and I was not disappointed. The host and his Staff were exceptional from start to finish and made us feel very welcome, which as Canadians was a blessing with current USA relations. The location was great, a short walk to everything. It's a great entertaining, historical spot and we were treated well by all. God bless America!

    The room was clean enough but the carpets looked a bit stained and in need of replacing. That’s it! I’d upgrade this place to a 3 star just based on the history and charm. The staff were very very accommodating!

    Close to everything in town!! I enjoy old building architecture hotels to stay in. There’s just something cozy about them.

    The only negative would be the lift (elevator) wasn’t working. The owners had arranged for someone to fix it and they hadn’t turned up, so it wasn’t their fault, but if you have an issue with stairs I would contact them before booking. I was however offered help with my bags but it wasn’t an issue for me.

    Excellent place to stay, would highly recommend. I really liked the room, the fact it had air con and the lovely cosy bedding. The location was perfect and the parking a real bonus. The staff were also excellent and there was a pool table plus other games downstairs and also free fizzy drinks (soda)

    The elevator wasn't working which isn't an issue for me but, could be for others. Deadwood has no charm for me. The lobbies of most of the other hotels are filled with slot machines. Food is expensive. Skip the pizza place in the hotel.

    A great location in downtown Deadwood just off the main street. The room was huge with 2 queen beds and plenty of room for moving around. High ceilings and the biggest windows I've seen in a building this age. I loved that the lobby wasn't filled with slot machines.
