I took Amtrak my first and last trip. Value is not there. Too expensive for what you get. The worst…read moreare employees. Couldn't believe the rudeness. They are rude even in lounges at the stations. Funny how they have tip jars. They make between $700-$800 on 24 hour trip where 8 hours they are just sleeping. And yet they want to be tipped. Never again.

This review has to do with the train itself. It does not reflect the good service I had on the…read moretrain. We booked a 1 Room sleeping car on the Coast Starlight. This room was $1300 for 2 people and came with a private bathroom. The train is very old & the entire room was the size of a closet. The sleeping quarters were unbelievable uncomfortable. And two people could not comfortably fit in the bed down below so one had to sleep in the bunk bed where your face is 6 in. from the ceiling and if you're over 6 ft tall you have to sleep in fetal position. There is no room to move. The toilet backed up. The air conditioner/heater didn't work properly. The one chair in the room was broken. Since I came home yesterday, I am still trying to get a hold of Amtrak to get compensated since this room wasn't all that was advertised. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the service was very good. The people working on the train were very nice. But I can honestly say it was one of the worst vacations of my life. And I will NEVER overnight stay on a train again.

This is my go to station!…read more Its the last stop in San Jose before going down to Gilroy so when I take it to the city I'm literally the first and last stop. Yes it can be a long ride but that's why you take the bullet (which makes less stops.) Advantages: - If you live in South SJ you can get to this Cal Train station without the fwy. I take Almaden Expressway all the way down there. - FREE PARKING! Which is WAY better than $4 a day at DT SJ Diridon Station. This is great since sometimes I spend the night in the city and have left my car and its been fine. - Plenty of parking. Even when you get to the station somewhat late you can park your car in the dirt area like others do. Be careful of the deep holes tho! Don't mess up your car. - Right next to VTA for those people that take the Light Rail Disadvantages: - No restrooms - It gets really deserted at times and I've seen shattered glass before (thinking someone's car got broken into) - Not all trains go to Tamien so sometimes I do have to suck it up and drive to the DT station

I was reluctant at first to park here due to several mentions of cars being broken into, but they…read moredo offer valid advice - don't leave any valuables in the car! There's never any parking on the other side of the train station (on Lick Ave, with the children's center), however, there is ample parking on the other side near the Hwy 87 entrance. Relatively easy trek to and from South Jose and like everyone mentioned, it's free! Saves me so much on gas when driving to Palo Alto. Make sure to always have a CalTrain Station Time Table to know exactly what train is arriving, departing and where it's potentially headed.

... some of the reviews here make no sense…read more - yes, there are signs to which direction you're going. - yes, there are benches, if you are sitting or standing where they're at and facing the fences, you will see the sign of where it's going - yes, the elevators smell-- it only takes on lesson to learn that. - it won't say exactly which one to take besides the usual ALUM ROCK or SANTA TERESA, etc. - the stairs, good work out. not every stop has an escalator at all. only smelly elevators. - they're cleaning up the public area, good for them. they're not leaving it to just get dirtier. - there are maps that tells you which light rail to take and estimated arrival times, got questions? call 511, no phone? turn around and ask a stranger. they know where they're going and which route to take. $2 one way, transfer light rail $6 day pass to use on VTAs, including bus Light rail takes you to Caltrain as well. Earliest departure is about 4:25am.

No clipper card service on the platform which is quite unreasonable for such a massive station. If…read moreyou drop off your car at any one of the dealerships on capital auto mall it would be so nice to walk to the station from the west entrance and take the escalator up to platform between the highway 87 lanes. What you'll find is that you'll have to go back down and find the ticket kiosk which is actually towards the East entrance and then find your way back to platform. Hopefully not missing the next train in the process . Buyers remorse overall as I should have taken a Lyft. Way too noisy and so little train activity even at high noon on a weekday
