Are the viewliner roomette toilets like the old single/double slumbercoach rooms?
Uhh... you mean Heritage? There have never been revenue Amfleet sleepers (though Amtrak's business car has bedrooms and is a converted Amfleet).
Slumbercoaches were before my time, but I have been in Heritage sleepers. The Viewliner roomette toilets are between one of the seats and the corridor, making that seat slightly narrower than the other. There's a fold-up sink above the toilet, much in the style of Heritage roomettes. There's also a small vanity, mirror, water spigot, hand towel and hanger, and electrical outlet. The top of the folded-down toilet doubles as a step into the top bunk.

In many cases, yes, but it sure beats Greyhound! It does get pretty bleak back there (visually and olfactorily) beyond the first day and if the load factor is high.
