2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

I was sad to see that the Choo Choo has fallen into a state of disrepair and change of usage. I remember a wonderful restaurant that is now an unused-looking workout room. The whole facility could use a good cleanup and painting. I would never pay the kind of rates to use it as they are asking.
