Yeah, that's right--I stayed in a train car. I stayed on the Chattanooga Choo Choo. \r
\r
Pros: I was on a train car!!!! On tracks!!! It's got beds and dressers and a television and a bathroom. It's a hotel room but really, it's a train car!!!!\r
\r
Cons: 30 gallons of hot water. Then, well, you take a cold shower or wait a few hours. The car sort of sways and shakes very slightly when the wind blows. But that's because it's a train car!!!!! \r
\r
The hotel is gorgeous. The main lobby is the terminal with gorgeous architecture. The gift shop and restaurant have lots of choices and are staffed by some of the nicest people (ooh, cute boy in the gift shop too! I sang the ballad of cute boy until he overheard me and I ran out and ate a moonpie, for shame for shame).\r
\r
Staying on a train car instead of in one of the buildings is pretty costly, but that's because it's a, say it with me, TRAIN CAR!!!!\r
\r
Truly a unique experience.
