Great area
We absolutely loved the train car room. The area was amazing. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Area was great! We parked at the hotel and never moved our vehicle the whole weekend. So many restaurants and attractions within walking distance. My one draw back was the train car was dark. I completely get the love of the dark green wallpaper and velvet drapes. However, maybe add more than a 25 watt bulb somewhere. The restroom vanity (gorgeous marble btw) is not large enough for makeup and hair. So please add an extra bulb somewhere else :-)
