Who gets in Chitown metro lounge? only 1st class getting on train?

[iliketrains]

With a six hour layover and transfer in Chicago, I plan on having a two-legged trip on two long-distance routes. Only on one train will I book a roomette and will ride coach on the other. Since the layover in Chicago will be six hours, I want access to the Metro Lounge. Does it matter if I am boarding as a roomette passenger in Chicago to have access to the lounge?

If you have a sleeper ticket or business class ticket arriving or departing on the day of your layover, you can use the lounge. You can also use the lounge if you're a Select Plus or Select Executive member of Amtrak Guests Rewards and are taking any Amtrak train (even if all segments are in coach) on that day.
