This building has a tie-in to the original construction of the Cumbres & Toltec railroad. It has recently been refurbished with modern facilities but still has that 1800's feeling. Would highly recommend it for its location and history.

This hotel is full of charm, including creaky wood floors. Breakfast isn't served, but the lunch-dinner menu is varied and the food is good. Excellent house margaritas! Staff is super friendly. Conveniently located across the main street from the railyards, if you're going to take the Cumbres & Toltec historical train. All guests followed the hotel's quiet hours rules, at least while I was there, even though at the end of the hall on the second floor, where my room was, there was a pool table and a big-screen TV showing a football game.

Old hotel being beautifully restored. Reminds me of the Wolf Creek Inn in Wolf Creek OR (where I lived as a kid). Wonderful people in the process of a continuing major renovation. Nicely appointed with 19th charm.

Nightmare Stay

Our stay was primarily to ride the train that is located across the street. Our room had no window coverings, requested because we were located facing the parking area. This local is under some type of renovation There were no amenities, one single chair, no mirrors, no hangers in closet, no hair dryer, no air only small ceiling fan, and unable to open windows for air. It was stuffy and hot. 2nd night there was a power outage at 6:30 PM. The bathroom was the saving grace for this room. Nice shower. Unable to recommend this hotel for a stay The gentleman did assist us by coming 2x times to help with a makeshift curtain with bending rods, as it fell because rod was bent.
Closet with no hangers
Small table no mirror
Only chair, my husband who is frail used it. I sat on the floor
Makeshift curtain. Room had no permanent window coverings coverings.Our room faced parking area.

Though the rooms are small, they have been updated. Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water, and it's an extremely convenient location to catch the train. Staff was very friendly. Didn't try the bar/restaurant, but they had plenty of business. I heard others comment on the creaking floors and noise level, but we use an atmosphere app for noise every night, so we didn't hear much.

please stay away from room 206 unless a single traveler ….. we took the chama train ride and so it was very convenient however on a sunday there are no restaurants open when you return from th day long ride and while the restaurant at the hotel would normally have been open - they decided without any warning to guests that there was a private party that evening so a total known of ten guests were left to fend for ourselves because the town is closed on sundays …. it is a very small town

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.

The property was recently renovated. It is verybcomfortablen and clean while maintaining a lot of its rustic charm. Floors are squeaky, but freshly finished and clean. The bathroom had modern finishes. The syaff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. Its nice that they have a restruant on site and the food was very good except the menu was a bit limited and service was a bit slow. Overall a wonderful experience in Chama and couldnt be more convenient to the railroad. Highly recommend this for single travelers if couples.
