BED TYPES

A common practice for hotels throughout the world is to offer really good pricing on rooms without specific bed types. How that works is the hotel on any given day will have for instance, a few rooms that are king beds and a few rooms that have two queens. In Europe it's more likely to be a double bed or 2 twins. It's impossible to be one hundred percent accurate in determining what bed types customers will want or require.

What hotels will do is give you a great price on the rooms if you will take whatever room type they have available on the day you check in. This guarantees they can still book the room without specifying the room type. This ensured they fill the rooms.

For most people this is no problem. If it's a couple they generally don't care if the room has 2 queen beds or a king bed. That's not the case if you are traveling with for instance your brother or parent or even a teenage child. In that case you would need 2 beds.

That's why it just floors me when a customer will get all indignant because they cannot have the discounted rate AND the room style they want. The whole purpose of giving you the discounted rate is because you will take what there is when you check in.

If you are traveling with your mother or teenage son you need 2 beds. If the hotel you want has a great rate for the room type you want, well that's great! If not, well, guess what? You will need to pay more and get what you want, it's that simple.

If the hotel you want doesn't have the room you want, well guess what, you will need to get another hotel. Simple.
