The Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges are for Sleeping Car Passengers only. Sleeping Car Passengers are considered to be the equivalent of First Class Passengers on airlines and these lounges are specifically for those passengers. The Portland Metropolitan Lounge is much less crowded than the one in Chicago. There was a big color television, many chairs, and phones that you could use with a calling card. The windows give just the right amount of light and you can see the trains outside the windows.
