Is there a secret to booking roomette on Level 1 of the sleeper car? I thought most folks prefer to be on Level 2. I think Level 1 is better because the bathrooms, changing room/shower are both a few steps away and so is the luggage storage. The swaying is minimal and contrary to popular belief, there is not a lot of noise. Apparently Amtrak agrees with me and is charging more for roomettes on Level 1.
I just booked very far in advance because the roomette right now is super cheap, less than a hundred more the the flexible fare. I was assigned to Level 2. I called and asked if I could be switched to Level 1 and was told I have to pay almost $100 more and that there were no more roomettes available at the price I paid. That does not make sense. Switch me to Level 1 and for whatever price the remaining rooms will be going far, charge that amount for my old room. Should I call back and try again?
