Galveston getaway

Loved the Bonnie Brook. Everything was great. The porter - Chris took excellent care of us. Loved being able to wander around the grounds when the museum was closed. Memorable experience. I would highly recommend

Train from the good old days.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to sleep on a train back in the good old days? Well, you can do exactly that at the Galveston Train Museum Rail Hotel.My family and I spent the night in the Historic Bonnie Brook Rail Car, a 1949 rail coach once used by Jackie Gleeson. The car has been renovated to serve as a private suite, allowing guests to eat, sleep, and dine like passengers used to do back in the golden era of railroads.Along with modern amenities like Wi-fi internet and a widescreen television, our suite also included complementary bottled water, a basket of muffins prepared by a local bakery, and a bag of saltwater taffy provided by a local confectionary.Best of all, the museum was located in mere walking distance of the downtown area, not only allowing easy access to local shops and eateries, but also to the cruise terminal. My family and I only needed to wake up and walk to our cruise ship.If you always dreamed of sleeping on a train, then this suite is perfect for you and/or your family.

Trains, Beads and King Cake!

I made the reservations for the Bonnie Brook several months ago for Mardi Gras weekend, so we had a long time for the anticipation to build up and we were not disappointed! The 3 grandkids, all under 10, had never experienced a train before, let alone slept on one, and they had a blast. It was right there in the train yard, so we had access to all the trains to explore and the location, right on the Strand, couldn't be more perfect. The kitchen is small and not conducive to much cooking, but we didn't come to cook and the restaurants are all within walking distance. David and Justin were very welcoming and saw to our every need and the King Cake they provided was incredible (David, I need to know where you got it!). Thank you for a very memorable stay!

A classic stay in a vintage Pullman coach

We arrived at the location, and we were greeted by staff and given information and a safety briefing. Justyn was very friendly and helpful. David provided us a written welcome. Very nice touch. The car was a classic built in 1949. We had 5 guests and it was very comfortable for all of us. We had a comfortable night. Nice touch of supplying shampoo and conditioner for each guest. Only thing to keep in mind is that the bedrooms and corridor are narrow and there are some tight spaces. The cars were built at a time when people took a carry-on bag, with the rest of the luggage in the baggage car. Nice to have smaller bags. We were given a nice convenient parking space. This experience reminded me of travelling with my parents and brother on Amtrak when younger. An overall great experience.

10/10 Recommend this stay!!!

We had a family group of 9 staying the night before our cruise and could not have been happier about our stay!! The team at the museum, especially David and our porter Dennis, we're super welcoming and helpful with information about our stay and nearby dining options. The Bonnie Brook train car was so unique and access to the museum let us get out and stretch our legs. Absolutely recommend this stay and we will likely stay again the next time we're in town.

AMAZING!

We really enjoyed our stay, even though it was rainy. Touring around the museum and the various train cars was super fun. The grandkids (ages 4, 6, 7, 9) were over the moon with this 'surprise' overnight stay before we headed to our cruise. The staff were terrific. The pullman car was awesome. We knew it wouldn't be a spotless, newly built hotel room, but this made it all the more exciting to be in a venue from days gone past.

Lovely graduation weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in the historic railcar! In spite of 100°+ temps, the a/c was quite impressive. You must make use of the entire experience by touring the museum. The attendants were very helpful. We easily walked to the strand. I recommend this stay for anyone that enjoys history or unique experiences!
