We booked this at the last minute and couldn’t have picked a more charming hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better. We also had dinner at Elsie’s Daughter, and both the food and the atmosphere were fantastic. We’ll definitely be back when we can stay a little longer. Highly recommend.

This is a cool place to stay and not far off I75. The decor and vibe is a vintage train car. Room was spacious and clean. Can walk to restaurants/bars that are in the actual train station. It was different from the run of the mill hotels.

Absolutely loved this place! Book it you will be glad you did! Love the history behind the Choo Choo hotel. The art deco theme room was like stepping back into another time. Enjoyed some time by the pool, and stopped in the restaurant for a to go dessert. Within walking distance to a bunch of great places to eat! Wish I could’ve stayed longer.
