Introduction
This video compares Amtrak's Roomette and Bedroom accommodations, helping viewers decide which to book based on their needs and budget. The video addresses common misconceptions about the sleeping arrangements in both options.
Key Takeaways
Roomettes and Bedrooms: Both offer bunk-bed style sleeping arrangements, contrary to popular belief. The main difference lies in the extra space and private bathroom in the Bedroom.
Space: Bedrooms are approximately twice the size of Roomettes, providing more room to move around during the day. Roomettes are cramped, limiting movement with beds made.
Bathroom: Bedrooms have private bathrooms with showers, though these are small and the shower may flood. Amtrak's common area showers are larger and often unoccupied.
Price: Bedrooms are generally double, or even more than double, the price of Roomettes. The added cost primarily covers the extra space during the day.
Sleeping Orientation: Roomettes have beds oriented with the direction of train travel, while Bedrooms are across the train, a difference in comfort depending on preference. The speakers found sleeping in the Roomette more comfortable.
