Summary: The train car itself was very nice. Our issue was that when we tried to take ahowers in the morning we found that there was no hot water, so therefore no morning showers. There was no staff on site to help (office hours are only for a couple of hours in the afternoons). We emailed the mgt. about the issue but never got a reply. Would not stay there again.
