I'll give this 4 stars only because of it's nostalgia. The hotel itself is nice. You get a feel of being back in the railroad days and the kind of time they lived in back then. Huge timbers support this building and the decoration is reminiscent of that time era. The hotel has a good view if you are on the back side of the building (which I was) but otherwise not so much.

However.... while the nostalgia is nice that's about where it ends. The rooms are certainly dated. Very dated. While I understand and appreciate trying to stay with a lot of the original theme there has to be some concessions made for modern times. The showers in the rooms are so small you will feel like you are in a closet. GREAT water pressure though! There is no vent at all in the bathrooms either. The sinks are so small you can't even fill up a water bottle. No thermostat of any sort in the rooms. The beds are those hard hotel beds you would typically find in a cheaper place. For the money you pay to stay here they should have decent beds.

The food is decent here. The dinner menu is huge but BRING YOUR WALLET because it's not cheap. Nothing is cheap. A simple mixed drink is $16.00! It's expensive to eat at the hotel for sure. The breakfast is just OK. They have a buffet with your typical stuff and you can also order off the menu. Again...nothing to get excited about.

All in all I give it 4 stars. It should be a strong 3 but I give it 4 because of the nostalgia of the place.
