I was really excited to stay at the Martin & Mason hotel in Deadwood, a beautiful hotel with renovated rooms appointed with beautiful antiques, but somehow got booked at this hotel, which is next door, through some shared booking site. It was cheaper but the rooms were strange and not nice furnished at all. The hallways were small and dirty and I would have much much much rather have stayed at the Martin & Mason. Don't get tricked the way I did!

I stayed here,frankly because it had reasonable rates and it was the only hotel left with resv.
I was pleasantly suprised. While the hotel is old, they keep it very clean. The staff is friendly and it seemed like everyone liked their job. I've stayed at many high end hotels and I'll take a clean room and a great staff over "luxury" any day. And to ice the cake, I won $150 on slots!

This is a followup to review done three years ago. This time room 205 instead of 301. Much smaller, sort of cramped. Right across from ice machine which was very noisy because room door did not seal well (gap at bottom and could see daylight along edges). Like the other room it has very tall ceiling and like to also there is a gap at top of windows with no shade so lots of morning light comes in. No pizza shop odor anymore (gone?) . We were very disapointed with pricing ($99) for such a small room compared to last time so this is NOT the value it once was. We had such a good experience last time we did not shop around but will do so next time we go to Deadwood. They've added connection to adjoining hotel and expanded casino BUT we could find no way to get from Iron Horse even to the front desk/casino cage by wheelchair. There are several steps inbetween. Not sure if this is ADA compliant. Could not even get to the rest of the casino without going outside to another entrance. Also, as noted in other reviews, computer was VERY slow at both check-in and check-out. But the high-speed wireless internet worked OK although it is non-secure.

Given the difference in room and increased price I can no longer recommend the place unless comparisons to others show it is competitive price and ameneties wise. It's just a place to sleep.

My husband and I have stayed here before (pre-elevator) but not for quite some time. This trip, we brought my in-laws along. Thankfully, we were able to take the elevator this time! The rooms we had were large and clean. We liked the location, too. Away from the noisy main drag but an easy walk to wherever you want to go. The restaurant/bar downstairs was not open when we were there. They had a freak hailstorm that basically destroyed it a couple of weeks before. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We go to Deadwood a couple of times a year and I think we have found our new favorite place to stay. It's not the 'Ritz', it's an historic hotel. So there are quirks that go along with old buildings. We too had tepid water in the shower one of the days. We just got up earlier the next day! Simple solution!
