Any trip north to south or south to north will include one or two nights at a real motel.
Sadly, auto-train a disappointment.

That's why I didn't get a sleeper, the seats and the big windows was great entertainment, at least I thought so. Even though I found the people on the telephones annoying, I liked being in the general population, so to speak. Not isolated. Maybe that's why you didn't like the train. Plus I was in the Army, it seemed like an adventure.
I had both the cereal and scrambled eggs for breakfast. We had our choice of a couple of items. Which is normally more than I eat for breakfast. Maybe you came late and the eggs were gone.
If I did stay in a motel, South of the Border has always been my favorite place to stay, that's what Pedro Sez!!
Sleeper bunk, you should of taken the bottom.
In the 50's we traveled to Florida every summer until I was 9 years and then moved to Florida permanent. I remember when South of the Border was only a small motel. Now look!
Here is South of the Border in the 50's.
