Staying at the Choo Choo was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean but a bit disappointing, and the staff, particularly Graham at the front desk, was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was very good, with some impressive features like a train car bar and fountains. However, the dining options were not very good, especially at frothy monkey.

The sleeper cars in the hotel were in need of some serious updating and cleaning, and the lack of Wi-Fi was a big letdown. The service, however, was exceptional, especially when it came to handling noisy neighbors late at night. The location was convenient with easy access to downtown attractions, despite some noise issues. The dining experience was average and could use some improvement. Overall, a mixed experience with room for enhancement.

The motel had a dark atmosphere due to poor lighting and lacked essential amenities like a small fridge and microwave, which I found surprising in this day and age. On the bright side, the front desk staff member, Graham, was friendly and helpful in guiding us. The location was convenient with various dining options nearby.

While the hotel's own restaurant offered acceptable but unexciting food, the breakfast was mediocre. We had to venture out to find more enticing dining options. Rating not ideal: 5/10

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a retro feel that suits the property perfectly but is in need of a total refurbishment. The service is friendly and helpful, although not very knowledgeable. The location is central for entertainment but a bit chilly at times. The dining experience is satisfactory but could improve with better food replenishment. Overall, good value for the price but some areas need renovation.

After checking in, the only positive thing I can say about this place is that the room was large. The hotel makes up for any shortcomings with minor aesthetics, especially at the front desk. Graham was very accommodating when we decided to check out. The location is great as it's not right in the middle of town but just on the edge, very central to everything downtown.

The hotel offers very large rooms that definitely need an upgrade, but they turned out to be larger than expected with very good A/C. The cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable, making the upgrade less of an issue. The service was very helpful and informative, although they parked their cleaning cart directly at the bottom of my train car steps. The location was pretty, with a nice pool, but not in the center of the action. The dining experience was extensive but a bit pricey, especially at $37 for two people. The facilities were well-maintained, complementing the overall stay.
