I Upgraded to an Amtrak Roomette, Not Worth It Coach Was Better

On the return trip, my son and I rode in coach for a total of $66. The reclining seats provided ample legroom and made us feel more comfortable than we did in the costlier roomette.

On future Amtrak trips, we'll likely book spacious coach seats instead of a private room. Amanda Adler

Correction: June 20, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misstated one of the roomette's features. The room did have an in-room toilet, which was unknown to the author at the time of the journey.
