Loved the Bonnie Brook. Everything was great. The porter - Chris took excellent care of us. Loved being able to wander around the grounds when the museum was closed. Memorable experience. I would highly recommend

I made the reservations for the Bonnie Brook several months ago for Mardi Gras weekend, so we had a long time for the anticipation to build up and we were not disappointed! The 3 grandkids, all under 10, had never experienced a train before, let alone slept on one, and they had a blast. It was right there in the train yard, so we had access to all the trains to explore and the location, right on the Strand, couldn't be more perfect. The kitchen is small and not conducive to much cooking, but we didn't come to cook and the restaurants are all within walking distance. David and Justin were very welcoming and saw to our every need and the King Cake they provided was incredible (David, I need to know where you got it!). Thank you for a very memorable stay!

We arrived at the location, and we were greeted by staff and given information and a safety briefing. Justyn was very friendly and helpful. David provided us a written welcome. Very nice touch. The car was a classic built in 1949. We had 5 guests and it was very comfortable for all of us. We had a comfortable night. Nice touch of supplying shampoo and conditioner for each guest. Only thing to keep in mind is that the bedrooms and corridor are narrow and there are some tight spaces. The cars were built at a time when people took a carry-on bag, with the rest of the luggage in the baggage car. Nice to have smaller bags. We were given a nice convenient parking space. This experience reminded me of travelling with my parents and brother on Amtrak when younger. An overall great experience.

We really enjoyed our stay, even though it was rainy. Touring around the museum and the various train cars was super fun. The grandkids (ages 4, 6, 7, 9) were over the moon with this 'surprise' overnight stay before we headed to our cruise. The staff were terrific. The pullman car was awesome. We knew it wouldn't be a spotless, newly built hotel room, but this made it all the more exciting to be in a venue from days gone past.

We had a family group of 9 staying the night before our cruise and could not have been happier about our stay!! The team at the museum, especially David and our porter Dennis, we're super welcoming and helpful with information about our stay and nearby dining options. The Bonnie Brook train car was so unique and access to the museum let us get out and stretch our legs. Absolutely recommend this stay and we will likely stay again the next time we're in town.

What fun! More room than we expected, great courteous and helpful staff. Interesting look back into rail travel. The grand boys just loved it and, of course, want to come back. The railroad museum is a treasure . Thank you!

We had such a good time for our family vacation- 10 guests slept well. Our favorite part was being locked in at night and able to explore without other people around! David was attentive and e loved our stay!

We LOVED the train and location. It was so nice to step out and be so close to so many things to do. Teen boy was excited to try out all the 'devices' in the trail. Perfect for exploring a bit of history.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in the historic railcar! In spite of 100°+ temps, the a/c was quite impressive. You must make use of the entire experience by touring the museum. The attendants were very helpful. We easily walked to the strand. I recommend this stay for anyone that enjoys history or unique experiences!

My grandson loves trains!! When he found out we were staying in the Bonnie Brooke Rail car he couldn't believe it. The train was beautiful, clean,nice toiletries, my grandkids had a blast playing hide and seek, and running around. The muffins for breakfast were good. I would come back for a special occasion. Would be fun for a girls getaway.

We like overnight trains and this was a fun way to experience it with our family, exceeded expectations! The host was warm, welcomimg, and beyond generous with welcome goodies! (Local treats and 2 toy trains for our littles) Our on sight porter was friendly and very helpful. Great location, really close to everything. Our 2yo was so excited and cannot stop talking about it. Will definitely be coming back!

This was such a fun property to stay at!! Our group ranged in age from 70 years old down to 7 months old. All of us had a great time! Very unique place to stay. The staff was extremely accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had or help us in any way. We were greeted with a basket of goodies, fun items for the kids, and even a handwritten thank you note for staying on the train. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you so much to David and his staff for making our stay such a pleasant and fun experience!

Was a unique fun time. Kids thought was so fun to step back in history. The people taking care of the Railway cars and Museum were so kind and nice. Helped us in many ways. There were 3 rooms with two twins and one room with a double and a twin above. He let us put a couple kids on couches. Would highly recommend.

We celebrated our daughter's Sweet 16 at the Railroad Museum, and stayed the night on the Bonnie Brook. What an experience! The railcar is super cool, and all the teenage girls really loved it. I know it is something they will never forget. We loved it too! They even had muffins and candy in a gift basket for us on the train. It was a nice little touch that we appreciated. David is easy to work with and was very helpful getting everything set up for our party. Thank you! They helped us have a great celebration. I would highly recommend staying there or even having your next event there.
