Hi Amtrak forum!

I've never been here before and I did a quick search, but mods, please merge into whatever is appropriate if necessary!

Summary: My partner and I are taking a quick, spur of the moment trip from San Francisco up to Reno tomorrow (Tues) and back Thursday.

I haven't rode the rails in a VERY long time, and I'm not familiar with the room categories at all.

Needless to say, this is a very short trip (6.5 hours on the Zephyr each way), but I thought it might be kind of novel to do the family bedroom one way (double windows, right?) and the roomette back. The cost differential is minimal (+$100 and change one-way), but I thought I would ask the experts if there's something I'm not thinking of? Does the family room have any glaring disadvantages that I'm just not aware of?

Many thanks in advance for your input!
