OK, here is the flip side, took the auto-train several times, including one way and round trip, and NO problems. I found the seats much better than airline seats, and they recline, my wife was not able to sleep well, I was fine. Meals were above average. I would take eye covers, incase your seat is near the stairs, they leave a light on all night. Also, bring your own blanket and pillow.
With the rates the way they were about 1.5 years ago, if your trip is less than 2 weeks, fly and rent a car, if longer than 2 weeks double check, but it will probably be cheaper to use auto-train.
Hope this helps.
