| > 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. |

| Not a good tip. You now play games with per person occupancy fees/taxes upon arrival, instead of screening available information. |

| What 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? |

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. | | |

| ▲ | saurik 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | So 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 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | If 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. |

| I’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. |

| Heeey 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 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | This 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. |
