Red Caboose Motel & Restaurant

Very good

Very good

Definitely worth the trip and...

Liked: The entire concept of the motel and facility was absolutely beautiful and genius. Utilizing cabooses as hotel rooms is something that I applaud completely. The other amenities, such as the dining cars, petting zoo, Railroad going past the facility, and isolated area were wonderful additions to the theme of the Motel. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful if they tried. In this respect, I couldn't recommend it any more highly for a family vacation destination, or somebody who has just always wanted to sleep in an actual caboose.That was something that I wanted to do since I was a small child, and I can actually take it off of my bucket list.
Disliked: Cabooses have been off the rails, literally, for many years now. They are something that the world will probably never see again at the end of a train. Although it's a wonderful thing that the Red Caboose rescued a number of these pieces of History, they really do need to work on the maintenance and upkeep of them. Sadly, the only ones that looked as if they had gotten a Fresh restoration where the ones that faced the main road. I would suggest getting someone who would take great pride in restoring these vehicles to their former glory on the outside. There was so much rust that needed a wire brushing, or possibly patching, and the paint on most of the vehicles inside the compound gave the impression that we were staying on the set of a post-apocalyptic Trailer Park movie. The interior of the honeymoon suite was very well restored for the area that they had to work with. However, the mattress of the bed really did need a good flipping, if not replacement. The floor of the shower was extremely slick and slippery and does need something to maintain a grip for safety. Would not want somebody taking a slide and suing this facility into nonexistence.Any criticism I would give is meant to be constructive and Out of Love. I believe that this Motel is a true work of art, and just need some refinement to make it one of the most amazing vacation destinations on the East Coast.

Expérience

Liked: Unique and friendly

Very different experience.

Liked: Staffs are nice.
Disliked: The caboose isn't level. The shower floor has a glued crack. Sealant around windows needs to be cleaned up. There are lots of spider webs, and the bedding is not clean. The handrails need fixing. Cabooses need paint and cleaning.
