The Read House Hotel
Bar food was better than most. They have Starbucks. Room was clean. Plenty of room to maneuver my wheelchair, especially the bathroom. It's the biggest I've seen. Staff was very helpful.

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo
The rail car was really fun. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and modern. The tile floor is heated. The area around the hotel is interesting with shops and restaurants. The restaurant next door, Elsie’s daughter had great food.

The room and staff were amazing. Only complaints are lack of storage, no pan for cooking in the kitchen, and the water ran cold rather quickly. Other than those few minor inconveniences, our stay was perfect!
