Very nice experience staying in a train car. Very clean, great bathroom, comfortable bed, several extra amenities like an umbrella. Font desk was friendly and accommodating. Liked that the fridge actually gets cold & has a freezer that works. Very quiet & dark. Dark was wonderful for sleeping but not really enough light for makeup. Only negatives were no place to really put your luggage and no drawers of any kind but for one night not a big deal. Also, plan to bring chargers & extension cords as there are no charging ports but we were prepared so not a problem for us.
