Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
The room was still dirty, there were dead bugs, hairs in the bed, dirty sock in the closet, old candy inder the bed. Everything was closed and under renovation so there was not much to do. Even though online has so many activities listed. Was very disappointed.
What an excellent stay we had at the red ny central car this past weekend for our trip to Benezette to see the elk! We were looking for something unique, close to businesses but also decently close to Elk Country Visitor Center..this was about 35 mins away. This traincar fit all the boxes and left us with such a memorable weekend. We were a little lost at first finding our car but then had no issues. The car was quiet, clean, comfortable and welcoming. We loved the snacks, waters and other little touches throughout. We would definitely recommend to those looking for a unique stay. There is ample parking as well as a restaurant and coffee shop on property. Apparently there is a pizza place as well but it didn't seem to be open during our stay.
