Charming old hotel but expect old hotel quirks like slanted floors, small rooms and small beds that squeak! They've done a nice job restoring it.

A pleasant bit of history with modern conveniences

Historic building nicely restored. Includes a small bar and dining area. Food menu still being developed, mainly sandwiches at the moment but nicely done. Staff is friendly and attentive. The room was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

We travelled to Chama so we could ride the Cumbres Toltec train and chose to spend the night before at the Iron Rail Inn for thematic purposes and because of the easy access to the train station. We arrived late but the hotel staff were very considerate and helped make check-in super convenient. Overall, the room was clean, quiet, and cozy and we look forward to staying here again for future visits to Chama.

We had a wonderful stay. Cute place all newly renovated. Had a bar and small restaurant with a petit menu but food was delicious. We stayed 2 nights to ride the train. Depot was directly across the street. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Had awesome rainfall shower.
