Lovely hotel. Our train car was wonderful! Very comfortable & beautifully decorated. The lounge by the pool was a perfect gathering place each evening…very relaxing. Great staff & location. Love the history! Very walkable & convenient to Carta. That all said. The daily charge for parking over & above the room rate is a bit much. The lobby breakfast other than danish & coffee were less than desirable to be kind
