Sleeping Accommodations 101: Roomette vs. Bedroom

So you need a little digital detox and you’re finally ready to take that cross-country trip with us. Hooray! We can’t wait to show you America by rail. But before you turn off your phone and enjoy the journey, you need to decide on your sleeping accommodations. To make the most out of your trip, read on to find out the best option for you.

Unlike roomettes, our bedrooms also have an in-room toilet, shower and a sofa that converts to a bed.
