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?

This particular trip was in Europe but I also encountered it on a different trip to Las Vegas. It occurred on some hotel sites but quite a few hotel aggregator sites.

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.

Generally, 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.

		Which is odd, since I feel like I always end up paying $13 extra for one king bed with my girlfriend to make sure we're not sleeping in a queen next to an empty one

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.

		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.
