wonderful time

unique experiencecomfortable bedshelpful staffthin walls
i wanted a unique experience and staying in a train-themed room provided just that the hotel has wonderful shops nearby i found restaurants serving great food the staff was helpful with anything i needed the beds and pillows were really comfortable. the hotel offers a true experience of being in a historic train-themed setting i rested and enjoyed hanging out at the hotel. the area around the hotel is nice, with great dining options and cool stores i had a great time . i will come back soon.
the thin walls allowed me to hear conversations next door this made privacy a concern i hope they address the soundproofing it slightly detracted from an otherwise amazing stay i think sound isolation is needed.
