From Merriam-Webster: Suite- noun, a group of rooms occupied as a unit
Just got back from a long road trip with the wife and kids, and I have a minor gripe.
It was going to be our last night on the road. We were stopping reasonably early, and I had hopes of putting a door between the kids and me and my wife.
I saw a sign for a hotel that said "suites", and I thought it would be worth the extra money to have more than one room. My kids aren't quite old enough to get a separate room, so I thought a suite with a bedroom might work well.
The problem was - the hotel didn't have any suites. They had rooms with a partial (less than 1/4) dividing wall between the beds and a sitting area with a couch and desk. Same thing at the hotel across the road that advertised "suites."
So when did "suite" start meaning one room?
