The Iron Horse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of a kind place! The biker yet unique and relaxing fill was so cool. The staff made me feel so welcomed and told us all about the restaurant there and a few others with in walking distance. We ate at The Yard there and the atmosphere just made you feel relaxed and welcomed. The food was above what I was expecting in the best way. The cheese curds I could have made myself sick on! The room was clean the hotel smelt amazing."
