Very noisy heard a dog in the lobby barking at 4 am, slamming doors & just vacuuming upstairs. Loud In General. Also you do not stay in a train car unless you maybe call ahead and speak with someone? So the photos make you think different. Ok hotel, for the money could have stayed at a nicer place.

First rate renovation of train carriages and rooms in the hotel. Beautiful materials and style appropriate to the period. Loved the preservation of the trains and platform structures. Great on-site and nearby dining options! A worthwhile stop-over or even longer stay.

Disappointing stay
Amazing staff, but room was less so. Bed was comfortable, but only had a duvet - missing sheet and blanket (belowing freezing temps). Power outlet on nightstand did not work. Shower did not drain well. Gold fixtures in bathroom were pretty discolored. Complimentary coffee in room, but tea only available by request for small fee. No room service options for breakfast.

We stayed in one of the train cars & would def recommend it but would ask if they had one that the beds didn’t possible butt up to each other. We heard a couple’s argument to their raunchy makeup sesh to snoring like a new chainsaw til 6am. Other than that…it was perfect! The bathroom floor is heated & a nice surprise. Great location!
