We moved my in-laws to The Villages on the auto train in October 2021. Two cars packed full of their stuff. We got two rooms, on either sides of the hallway from each other. Neither room had the private bathroom. The private bathroom is totally not worth it IMO. The private bathroom, as it looks on the video someone posted, is smaller than the shared bathroom down the hall. Keep in mind that you are only sharing the bathroom with the few other people that also have private rooms but no private bathroom. The people in the cheap seats have their own bathroom. No delays or issues getting on and off. The staff was nice. Dinner was pretty decent. Breakfast was like a continental breakfast at a non-fancy hotel, but fine. Someone comes and turns down the beds for you, and puts them back in the morning. Because we were up late packing the night before, we slept like logs. Top bunk fit someone that is 6' tall. My 74 year old mother in law with a bad knee could climb into the top bunk. Watching the scenery - before it got dark - without having to worry about traffic, was great. In-laws loved it. You save money if you book ahead of time.
