We stayed overnight at Louise's place in order to change Amtrak trains, California Zephyr arriving around 4pm, to the Coast Starlight, departing around 9am the next day. Her house is located within comfortable walking distance of the station. Louise was very kind to us, offering among other things a cup of tea on arrival and a good chat about travel adventures.

The outdoor shower and toilet are a unique experience. We think would appeal greatly to some and maybe others not so much.

The accommodation itself has everything you need for a short stay, plus there's at least one good, affordable restaurant nearby. The bed was comfortable.
