On a trip from Miami to New York City, I booked Amtrak's bedroom accommodation on the sleeper car, which gave me my own moving hotel room for 30 hours.

The private bathroom had a door, shower, and toilet. In other booking classes, riders share a bathroom in their train car.

At about 8 p.m., an attendant came to my room to transform the sofa into a bed.

Since there were outlets next to the sink, I propped up my phone up to watch TV from bed, just like home.
