What are the most common types of rooms offered by hotels?
In the United States you can generally tell the type of room by the type of bed. So, a double room, for example, is a double bed meant for two people. A queen, obviously, is a queen size bed meant for two people and so forth and so on. There's the king obviously. There's also the junior suite, which may have a little bit of extra area where you can relax, kick your shoes off and sit on the sofa. A full blown suite may have a dining room. It may have a separate work area. There may be a living room with an entertainment area where there's a flat screen TV or super stereo system. In Europe it's not uncommon to find a single room, which is really just a twin bed in a small room. The one thing that you should always check though, whether you're in the United States or abroad (although it's much more common abroad) is to find out whether you're booking into a hotel that has a shared bathroom. There are some people who are very uncomfortable doing that. It's not uncommon in Europe to have a shared bathroom, so you should always check with the hotel and make sure of what you're getting.
