Mr Gregory at the front desk was exceptional! He was very friendly and helpful with local places to eat and visit! Our shower wasnt working and he promptly gave us access to another shower and then the hotel fixed it first thing the next morning! The only down side we noticed was they emptied the dumpster at 2am and it was right outside one of our windows.

Loved it!
Love this place! Easy to find. Clean on the outside. Plenty of parking. Check in was easy, thank you to Mr. Gregory! Hotel room was located on the third floor. Hallway and elevator was clean. Very quiet, I didn’t hear any other guests or noise from outside. The room was gorgeous! Comes with the standards except for a microwave. Bathroom was clean and spacious. The water did not get fully hot. It was more of a lukewarm. Cable and internet worked. I highly recommend this place!

Mr.Gregory!
Our stay at the Brakeman hotel was beautiful. This hotel was done so nicely. The rooms are large and look very well done. The bed was so comfortable. There is also a great shower. The first floor is a visitors center which hosts those bus tours. They also have a little cafe and a gift shop. They have train memorabilia downstairs. Once you get on your private elevator you are separate from the public. This place felt very safe and secure. The outside doors lock at 5pm and then only hotel guests get access to the building. Guests get to park right out front of the station and do not have to find parking somewhere else. There is also a police station across the street. Floor 2 and 3 have been converted to these beautiful rooms and the rooftop is for private parties. From this hotel you can walk to many popular tourist destinations. You may have to walk 15 mins or more but it’s worth it to not have to find parking. The front desk attendant Mr.Gregory was the best. He’s from New Orleans so don’t be afraid to ask him for some recommendations. He knows all the best spots. I can’t wait to come back and stay at this hotel again.
