We were mostly satisfied with our stay in the Presidential railcar located at the Doolittle Station in Dubois Pennsylvania. It was nostalgic and a new experience from staying in chain motels. The dining room is very pretty and the Presidential bedroom was comfortable. We are elderly and large sized physically, so the very narrow hall leading to the bedrooms was difficult for us, but we managed. The bathroom, luckily, isn't original and access was easy to it and fairly spacious. Only decaf coffee was there, which we don't drink decaf, but tea was also available and was fine for us. It was time consuming to find the light switches because some were behind doors or halfway up a wall, but they are marked with small labels once you find them, lol. We never did find the light switch for the overhead dining room light, so we couldn't play the board games they supplied and no TV of course. There isn't enough outlets in any of the rooms if you all have cell phones, tablets, etc., to charge. My husband had to sleep in a different room without me because he uses a by-pap machine to breathe due to sleep apnea. The owners do need to provide more detailed instructions for the lights, number of outlets, and the keyless entry pad, especially for older people who aren't familiar with this type of motel. The guest contact they gave me never responded to my emails for help, so it is a good thing that we were able to finally figure out the small issues we had. The Doolittle Station itself will be great once the new management gets it all operational. We were able to see the automated dinosaur section in operation because we stopped there the weekend before our actual overnight stay just to familiarize ourselves with the area. Only the miniature putt putt was open though during the weekday that we stayed overnight and we're too old to do that anymore. The price of the one night stay cost more than it's worth to me since the attractions and restaurants weren't open , but, even with the small disappointments, we enjoyed our stay in the Presidential Railcar just for the history and nostalgic feeling.
