> eliminating rooms with two beds
Quick tip I discovered when traveling with my teenage daughter: a lot of hotel sites are now unclear on whether a booking is for a room with one or two beds. I found that listing "occupants" as 3 would usually force such sites to sort for rooms with two beds (even though there would only be two of us). Assuming there's no breakfast included, the price is usually the same for 2 or 3.

- ehnto 11mo agoHeeey clever. I really struggled with this while travelling with my brother in Japan. None of the aggregation sites filtered on number of beds even though they had that data in the listing.
- decimalenough 11mo agoThis is not going to work well in Japan, since very few city hotel rooms have room for three guests. Fortunately Japanese bedding naming is quite standardized: search for twin/ツイン and you'll get rooms with two beds.
- caminante 11mo agoNot a good tip. You now play games with per person occupancy fees/taxes upon arrival, instead of screening available information.
- noduerme 11mo agoWhat country is this? I've never seen a hotel site that didn't sell rooms as either 2 Queen or 1 King. If I didn't know it was a king bed I wouldn't book it. Does that now make me a spoiled first world rich person?
- xp84 11mo agoGenerally, what I’ve seen is on travel sites like Priceline, sometimes they list a room as like “standard room” and they don’t specify and (in the fine print) explicitly do not guarantee how many beds - with some cheaper rates. Basically trying to discourage people from booking them. The thinking being if you don’t wanna end up in 1 King bed with your bro, you’ll pay the extra $13 for the explicitly 2-bed room, which is always listed as well.
- ghaff 11mo ago>Does that now make me a spoiled first world rich person? Sort of. I'll take a King by choice but if a Queen is the only option I don't really have an issue with that. And I'm not a short person.
- saurik 11mo agoSo like, in the United States, if you book directly via Marriott, the number of beds isn't guaranteed unless you have some reasonable status at the hotel.
- noduerme 11mo agoIf you book a queen room isn't it always 2 beds? A king room is usually 1 bed. Is there some option where it's just totally random what room you get? I don't have any Marriott status but going on their site I can clearly see a choice of rooms, and each one says what amenities it has.
- ruszki 11mo agoI’ve been to Los Angeles recently, and they wanted to give us a single bed room for 3 of us, and they told us that “some” wants the one bed option for 3 adults for whatever reason.
