    Which roomette?

    I don't really care but the upper level you get to see more.I am like my dad was,the clickety clack of the rail puts me to sleep. Downstairs there is usually less foot traffic and the shower is right there.Down fall is you have to up stairs to get to dinning car.

    Questions re: Crescent and ATL and Charlottesville
