Hotel rooms are dated and our first room was moldy smelling.

A very unique place to stay. Lots of local attractions and restaurants within walking distance. It was entertaining to listen to conversations from the room adjacent to us. Unfortunately we were trying to sleep and the walls are very very thin.. We wanted to stay in the Pullman cars but they were being renovated.. Maybe next year..

Looks like a train station with different cars acting as businesses (bar, escape room, etc.). Food on property was very good.

We loved the experience of staying in a train car! It was also wonderful having a great restaurant (Stir) and coffee shop (Frothy Monkey) within easy walking distance. Overall our room seemed clean, but the carpet was gross (my 1 year old’s feet, hands and knees were black after crawling around), the bathroom door didn’t latch shut, and the bed needed to be replaced. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it as a unique and pleasant experience!
