My stays at Iron Horse are always excellent, the staff, the rooms, the check in process, all well done, clean, professional. It's why i stay here every time I pass through.
My aunt and I took a little overnight trip. We loved the hotel! All of the character the hotel and the quaint little town had was very refreshing. Will definitely go back!
We loved our stay at the Iron horse hotel, great rooms lovely people, Nichole made our stay a great one. If we’re ever in the area again we know where we’re gonna stay. Thank you.
It was a nice place very quiet. There was no shower so a little difficult getting ready. For the price there should have been at least a continental breakfast.
The Town of Blackwater and Iron Horse Hotel was the end our short visit to 5 small towns in mid Missouri. The Hotel and Town exceeded our expectations. The Owner takes pride in this old Hotel and the Town. We would recommend that this is the Hotel and Town to visit in mid Missouri.
My room was clean and comfortable, the hotel was very interesting and historic.

Historic hotel, though few modern conveniences - no nearby parking due to a wedding, no place to eat breakfast in town on Sunday if you stay on Saturday night. No wifi in the room, only in the lobby, no TV, guests could make coffee for themselves in the a.m. in a common area.
My family really loved the room in the old hotel. It was upkept nicely and was very comfortable. The town is so well preserved and adorable with several places to shop. It was quite relaxing and just what we were looking for :)
