Amtrak Chicago Ann Arbor recent customer reviews

The trip was relaxing and the cars were very clean naw with modern features. Tried to upgrade to Business based on solicitation from Amtrak. The site said I had an excellent chance of getting it, however I found out I didn’t get it only 10 minutes before departure. What’s the point of playing that game?
