Have used it 4 times and would recommend it. I get the roomette and it works fine. Two bunk beds made up by porter. Two comfortable chairs when not used as beds. So get on board, get your roomette, go have dinner (decent), go to the bar have a couple drinks, go to bed, get up, have breakfast, and your there. If you buy your tickets way in advance they are pretty cheap. I think I paid around $500 last time for car, two people, two meals each and the roomette. Gas costs me about $100 so I think it's a bargain. But if you buy only a week or two before I think it's expensive. Price has a very wide range. Depends on day traveled, season and how far in advance you buy.

Took the motorcycle one trip and it was really reasonable. But they put 3 bikes on a pallet and I was alone. Still had the roomette and dinner and breakfast. But that was only like $350.
