Also notice below, “Climate control”, in the past 70+ LD trips over the last 10 years only ONCE have I been in a room where the in-room thermostat did anything related to the temperature.
So a SCA finally explained this to me in a way that makes since. The climate control dial can only make the room warmer, not cooler. Thats because it only controls the floor heater in your room. The idea is when you have the thermostat set to warm, that heater runs and warms up your room. When you set it to cool, the air in the car should be cool enough that the room cools down. Problem is, to make that work Amtrak would need to keep the A/C on the sleeping cars set on the colder side, but they don't seem to do that.
- Fresh towels and bed linens
- Soap and shower amenities
Exactly what
amenities are they providing?
A door or a curtain for the shower?
I mean, the towels are already listed above and the cheapskates at Amtrak have eliminated the bags with shampoo, conditioner and lotion. You know... the free amenities you get in almost any hotel room?
But like most of the items on this "bait-and-switch" list you can buy those amenities in the Cafe car. You know after you buy your coffee since it won't be made until tomorrow and before you unwrap your blanket and make up your own bed.
You know, because Amtrak charges high prices yet provides amenities comparable to a Motel 6.
I'd say that Amtrak should probably update this webpage before a disappointed passenger takes them to court over false advertising, but Amtrak has probably already laid off the people in the web department as a part of a cost cutting measure.
Also, for the record, I emailed Amtrak months ago to tell them that this webpage was out of date. Good to see they got right on making those changes.
