Have you tried the sleeper bus?

@FastTrax, With retirement we have the time for leisurely travel via Amtrak, but at three times the price of most other modes of transportation we rarely indulge. Maybe when this pandemic is over though...
 

Whatever it will cost you believe me it will be well worth it. One caveat, bring as much of your medicine as possible because AMTRAK is notorious for being unforgivably late and if you have an emergency you will be put off at the next station and transported to a hospital but the train will not wait for you. It will continue on to it's destination. You will have to put in a claim and you will be compensated. Many railfans have scanners to listen to railroad communications and it can be an eye opener to listen to what's really occurring as opposed to what the train crews tells you.

Yes, I've taken AMTRAK from Los Angeles to Portland a few times and found it very enjoyable. We're considering going transcontinental across Canada.
 
I enjoy sleeping on a train and taking a shower is a really joyful experience.
