What fun! More room than we expected, great courteous and helpful staff. Interesting look back into rail travel. The grand boys just loved it and, of course, want to come back. The railroad museum is a treasure . Thank you!

10/10 Recommend this stay!!!
We had a family group of 9 staying the night before our cruise and could not have been happier about our stay!! The team at the museum, especially David and our porter Dennis, we're super welcoming and helpful with information about our stay and nearby dining options. The Bonnie Brook train car was so unique and access to the museum let us get out and stretch our legs. Absolutely recommend this stay and we will likely stay again the next time we're in town.

Sleep on a Train!
Staying on the Bonnie Brooke was a great overall experience. We all enjoyed checking out the trains, exploring downtown and being so close to our cruise ship. The only low point was the air conditioner running all night and lowered the temperature to the 60’s. I contacted the person in charge of maintenance but they didn’t start their shift until 6:00 am. Even though it was cold enough for a polar bear, we had a great time. It was very cool to step back in time and experience what life was like on a rail car.

So much fun!!!
This was such a fun property to stay at!! Our group ranged in age from 70 years old down to 7 months old. All of us had a great time! Very unique place to stay. The staff was extremely accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had or help us in any way. We were greeted with a basket of goodies, fun items for the kids, and even a handwritten thank you note for staying on the train. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you so much to David and his staff for making our stay such a pleasant and fun experience!

Funtime with grandkids
My grandson loves trains!! When he found out we were staying in the Bonnie Brooke Rail car he couldn't believe it. The train was beautiful, clean,nice toiletries, my grandkids had a blast playing hide and seek, and running around. The muffins for breakfast were good. I would come back for a special occasion. Would be fun for a girls getaway.

Inaccurate description
Said free Wi-Fi. Not true. Told to use our own hot spot. Same with TV. Their hot spot box had been removed and returned on the final day. Said 5 bathrooms . Two not working. Said warm muffins/ breakfast delivered every morning. Food left in the afternoon, not breakfast.. Poor staff communication. Given 4 different numbers to call for 3 days. Often no or slow response. No water for several hours while train tanks refilled. Non working generator had to be replaced. Smell in the working bathroom s. Leaking water across the floor when raining. Refrigerator at 50 degrees. Off temperature.

So much fun!
We had such a good time for our family vacation- 10 guests slept well. Our favorite part was being locked in at night and able to explore without other people around! David was attentive and e loved our stay!
