Iron Rail Inn was close to train station which was exceptionally convenient. Our staff was exceptional, and service was 5++. Although, the Iron Rail Inn was still under some construction due to renovations over the last year, the facility and rooms were very nice. The Showers were 5 star and the sinks were enamel with sewing machine bases and furnishings throughout were antique looking. The BEST happy HOUR in Chama....drinks were so reasonable and the specialty flavors: wow! Loved LEA, the owner, staff and the construction team as well. All were just so pleasant and went the extra to insure our stay was memorable, including the extra Fourth of July Decor for our Chama Elks across the street put together by the construction crew. We will be back again next year for the final Ribbon Cutting and to check on updates with the Inn!

This is a historic property that is being lovingly renovated. We enjoy these types of hotels creaky floors and all. We met the owners and heard about plans. Quite a different experience than a big chain property. There’s a small bar in the lobby and they will have restaurant once the new kitchen is finished. Room was good sized and. The bathroom had been redone. Bed was comfortable. If you’re in Chama for the train (isn’t everyone?), it’s right across the street.

Participated in the soft opening of the hotel (accidentally). Family owned. Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything is new apart from the antiques used to furnish the rooms (apparently collected over many years before they bought the hotel). Quaint and cozy remake of a prior hotel. Has a. bar (was a work in progress), porch on first (ground) floor and patio on the second floor (with fire pits and comfortable chairs). They will have a small store and small restaurant (which will be a good thing as there are very limited dining options on Mon-Wed in town). Look forward to going back some day and seeing the finished product. Clearly a labor of love and more like a B&B than a chain hotel.

From the get go,my reservation was a problem I was given the wrong room. The hotel is still in the renovation stage. The front desk person had to find me a room,I was given a two bed two bath room only one problem one bath had no toilet. The room was on the first floor and it didn't have curtains on the windows. The final kicker was there WI-FI was not working so the television didn't work. The whole stay there was a DISASTER. The bar will not be open until July 4th maybe.
