Isn't that a downstairs roomette? I personally prefer downstairs rooms, but I know many who don't. It's to each their own when it comes to rooms.

#12 is downstairs. Assuming you are originating in CHI, I prefer the downstairs roomettes the first night because the rails in Kansas are not the best. You will 'feel' the rough rails much less the closer you are to them.

You can call and ask if there are any other roomettes available. Yes, Roomette #12 is on the lower level. I personally prefer the upper level myself, but each his or her own.

If you do call in to try and change, be sure the Agent understands you want to MODIFY your Res; other he or she may try to cancel it and start over. In that case you could get blanked out of Roomettes entirely.

Upper level = better view

Lower level = fewer people passing by and stumbling into your door. And closer to the shower.

Just to balance the replies:

Lower Level - possibility of people staring into your room at station stops (as it is near "standing" level)

Upper Level - all access to other cars (Dining Car, SSL) is via the upper level only

Now that could get interesting at night when you are sleeping :huh:

Or "busy" doing something!

Is there no curtains/blinders in the windows in roomettes?!

 

[the_traveler]

Yes, but not everyone closes them.

The only problem I had with a lower level roomette was one time, several restless kids in the family room...in and out all night long. Was tempted to "accidentally" stick my foot out the door! :angry2:
