[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] In the 2 roomette seats that face each other, you kind of share the same foot space and they don't recline. The beds are comfy but the top has no window and is close to the ceiling, especially bad for anyone with claustrophobia. Sleeping in a roomette seat would be more difficult than a coach seat. With the lower bed down, your standing room is barely larger than your ankles. It is possible to lower only the top bunk and still have both seats and a bit of floor available. It is basically a cozy place to crawl in and sleep and nothing else. Bring duct tape or pins for the sometimes worn out velcro on aisle curtains to insure complete privacy. There is a lockable (from inside only) sliding door with large windows. If an outside curtain is drawn, your privacy in stations is not so good. My favorite way to use roomettes is for sleeping and privacy, and spend the rest of the time in the sightseer lounge. No need for a bedroom unless you prefer your own shower, toilet and a big lower bed with standing room. Westbound out of Denver you must stake out a lounge seat early. I have been on an eastbound Empire Builder with a more than full lounge through Glacier. They sell space even though coach seats are sold out for people who want to take day round trip on the train through Glacier from Whitefish and back. That and Denver are the only 2 spots I know of where you may have to really plan breakfast around staking out a lounge seat well before the train leaves Denver or WFH. The Columbia River Gorge generally has a full lounge too, but seats may open up over time. Eastbound, just go right there in the Portland station and you will be fine. You could also consider a car drop-off in Eugene to avoid the Portland traffic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
