The hotel is very nice. Some of it is a little older. The lighting is a little too dark for me. Nice staff. No issues.

Beautiful hotel with a lovely staff. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated. My only comment would be that the treadmills in the gym were extremely difficult to use and I had trouble getting them to start even with the help of a staff member.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the ambience of the hotel. The room was cozy and had a chic vibe. We were there for a wedding weekend. The Caboose Bar area was perfect for the welcome party, the pool was refreshing, the train cars and terminal gave everyone a taste of history, the food was amazing and the staff made everyone feel at home. We will definitely be back for a long weekend to go sightseeing since we were enjoying time with friends and didn’t leave the property.

We had the best experience here! The staff was welcoming and helpful. The Hotel is super cute and had tons of areas that were photo perfect. Perfect location too, with plenty of good places to dine and shop and walk around. The only think I would suggest the hotel do, is to extend the pool hours until 11pm. Just a personal thought. Great spot! 10/10 recommend! ❤️

Beautiful place! It was truly a pleasure to stay there. The pool was very nice and the pool bar was handy. The in-room coffee service was unique and I loved it. The hotel is walking distance to many good restaurants. We enjoyed Feed Table & Tavern. The only suggestion I have is more precise directions for new customers because the hotel was very hidden behind the train station and all the train cars.
