Location: Beautiful location. Whether you're there to experience the nightlife, or you're attending the area as a student, the Amtrak station is a quick trip from Sacramento. Lots of places to eat within walking distance of the train station. If you have a wait between trains, you won't have to walk far to find something to eat.
Staff: Staff has always been friendly. At most I see 1 person actually at the station & the station is a decent size. They could use more staff in my opinion.
Security: They have cameras. However they could benefit from actually having someone patrol the grounds. There were a couple times where some people were causing issues outside of the station. No one from the station came out to address it. So it felt a bit unsafe during those times something was going on. Having a security patrol can make it feel a bit safer.
Seating: Lots of seating. From outside to inside. I rarely ever see this station packed. Most people are getting off the train, not many people wait for it, unless its the time of year for students to head home for the holiday or seasonal breaks. Then it gets a bit crowded at the station and trains.
I highly recommend stopping at this station, even if its to visit their unique downtown area and experience it in the nighttime. It really comes to life at night.

The staff were really helpful both at the station and on board the train! The train was really comfortable and more or less on time. They have plugs for charging electronics, tables for eating, a washroom, and a place where you can buy food and beverages. I had a really pleasant trip.

Convenient to bus transfer. Plenty of ethnic restaurants coffeehouses and pubs and gift shops just 100 feet away. Indoor and outdoor waiting area. Bicycle parking and bike-friendly train service. Vintage architecture and interior. Modern sculptures. Old switch tower. Plenty of parking and curb pick-up areas.
