David was prompt in answering any online questions and met us at the rail car to show us the ropes.The Railroad Museum hotel was the perfect starting point for our family cruise. We will definitely do this again! The Grandkids had a great time. Thanks!!

Stayed Apr 26, 2025Highly recommend this very cool option when staying in Galveston. Unlike anything else, it's an exciting change of pace to for an overnight stay. The railcar is super clean and looks recently refurbished. The staff was over-the-top in efforts to assure we had everything we needed. We stayed during Railfest but any time is a good time for this property. We will definitely be back.

Stayed Jan 13, 2025This is a very unique, one in a life time experience staying in a historic train carriage.We stayed at Silver Foot which located inside the museum.Check in is easy and David and Chris were extremely friendly and helpful.The carriage has almost everything a 5 star hotel has. A dining table, one double bed, two bunker beds, a shower and two toilets.There is also a fridge.The museum locked it's gate after business hours but Chris is happy to let you in and out if needed. Just a phone call away.Overall, very present and unique experience.Highly recommend.
