I had a unique stay in a restored Pullman train car, which was charming but a bit chilly. The staff was welcoming, and the location was great for exploring local dining options. However, improvements are needed in maintenance, especially concerning the fitness facility and equipment. Overall, it was a fun experience, especially for train enthusiasts, but there are definitely some areas to enhance.
