My husband and I visited this B&B overnight. We stayed in the St. Charles room for $140 and it was worth the money. The room was spacious and the bathroom was amazing! My husband and I both commented on how we wish this was our master bedroom and bathroom! The bed was comfortable but someone short might need a step-stool to get in. The room temperature was good, and there was a heating blanket if needed.

A few complaints with the room (although we would still stay in this room):
-We heard quite a bit of road noise (on the main road and one house in from a busy intersection) that was noticeable and loud at times (but got used to it and didn't stop us from falling asleep). This room is at the front of the house facing the street, and windows look thin and possibly origional.
-There was no shampoo or conditioner in the room, which I've never had happen from staying at hotels and other B&B's. This was a problem since we had a family event and I needed to wash my hair. So I put my hair in a pony-tail and had greasy hair for the event.

Breakfast was very good, and there was plenty of food. The only downside is that we shared a table with another couple who we did not know. My husband and I aren't big talkers at 8:30 am on weekends, and it was slightly awkward feeling the need to talk and converse with them.

The innkeeper Dee was very nice and make sure we had what we wanted to drink throughout our stay, and made sure the other woman staying there had her Diet Pepsi at breakfast. No complaints except when we arrived for check in we waited at the front door for about 5 minutes (she stated she doesn't always hear the bell). We saw Steve for about 30 seconds, he was helping carry out breakfast.

If my husband and I go back to Madison (which I'm sure we will) we will probably try out another B&B, but that's just because we like to try and explore new things. Very nice place.

We stayed at this hotel twice last year, one weekend in April and another in October. Steve and Dee are wonderful people who know just when to delight you with their company or disappear to lend privacy. There is always the feeling of them anticipating anything you might need, or efficiently carrying out any special request. The home itself is just what you want in a B&B: old, historic, beautiful, yet comfortable. It is so lovingly restored and tastefully decorated. The champagne breakfasts are always delicious and abundant. We prefer the Glen Ellyn room for the lovely, private, spacious veranda. It's well worth the tiny bathroom. We've seen the other two rooms. Western Springs is a tranquil green room with a spotless, modern bathroom. The St. Charles is big, beautiful, and particularly romantic. We've talked about a winter stay in the St. Charles, when it's too cold for the veranda. Iron Gate Inn has charmed us utterly, and we'll be back on an annual basis.

My husband and I just spent a lovely weekend in Madison, Indiana and particularly enjoyed our stay at the Iron Gate Inn. This B & B has been lovely restored and is beautiful, comfortable, and well-managed. The rooms are spacious with decor fitting an 1840's home, but with all the modern updates to plumbing, lighting, and creature comforts in bedding and service.

Our room- the Glen Ellyn, had a wonderful second story porch where we were able to sit, relax, and talk with friends who also stayed at the Inn. They also enjoyed their stay and it was wonderful to have an area to be together that wasn't in one of our rooms or out in a public area.

Our breakfast was deliciously prepared and graciously served in the large, high-ceilinged dining room. The breakfast menu included macadamia french toast, bacon, fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, juice, coffee, and tea. This B&B is a real find!
