Amtrak San Diego Seattle recent customer reviews

San Diego to LA was fine but a little late. Had to rush to catch connection in LA. LA to Seattle staff very unorganized in assigning seating. Amtrak really needs to work on that. Train needs to be cleaned more often. Itinerary was amazing though. Seats very comfortable. Highly recommend it in general.
