It's been a while since we rode this, but here's what I remember. We rode in a sleeper (not roomette) and had 2 rooms for 3 of us, so more space to stretch out. Sleeping was easy the first night (Minneapolis through most of North Dakota), but sleeping the second night was more difficult because of "squealing" wheels as we went through the "curvy-route" Rockies and because of the train-shuffling at Spokane. Food was fine, and, as we had to be willing to share our table, we met some interesting people with stories to trade. You do see some nice Washington State scenery on the morning of your second day and some nice Montana scenery late in your first day. Unfortunately, if running on time, you will sleep through all of Idaho and most of the Rocky Mountains.
Like one of the commenters above, we elected to fly back (cheaper, faster and wife's option!).
