We paid $1,470 to take 2 cars on the Amtrak Auto Train and book a small room on board. It wasn't perfect, but I'd still do it again.

The pricing for the roomette, which included two meals and First-Class service, was initially steep at $1,470 but felt worth it for privacy and comfort during the trip.

Boarding ran smoothly, with early check-in ensuring we avoided the late crowd; arriving early provided a stress-free experience, plus a chance to book dinner.

While our roomette was snug for both of us, the cleanliness, window view, and individual temperature control contributed positively to our travel experience.

Having only one outlet was a downside; in future trips, I'd remember to bring a splitter for charging multiple devices, ensuring we stay powered up.
