2 beds = have to use them both?

[thehippie777]

One thing I come past more often then I should is the idea that if the hotel only has rooms with two beds left that a guest has to use both beds. I have been told, "It's only me." Hello, it's all I have left! OR "We only need one." Once again, it's all we have left!

I do not understand this.

I explain that our hotel only charges per adult, not per bed use but for some reason this still leads to the outcome that both beds JUST HAVE to be used.

Tonight, I checked in 4 adults from an English speaking country, and clearly this was their first language as well so there wasn't a confusion because of language boundaries.

They were two couples who wanted single king rooms. I only had rooms with two queens left & some king suites. They were confused; yes all of them.

They thought they HAD to get a room together that had two queens even though they wanted seperate rooms.

I had to explain to them that I could give them two seperate rooms, no problem, but each room would have two queen beds in them.

Then, of course, they finally realized...

Ugh, I can relate.

I always want to say "what part of LAST. ROOM. AVAILABLE. do you not understand?"

That and when I tell people what room types we have available and they say "do you have any rooms with two twin beds?"

UHHHHHHHHH, No.

Has anyone ever seen a hotel with just two twins? WTF.

Or when I say that I have rooms with two doubles or one king and they say "I need two queens".

dumbasses.

Actually, we have several with just two twin beds at our inn. They aren't the only two bed rooms we have, but the double twin rooms are actually quite popular with sales people travelling in pairs. Well, popular with the companies paying the bill, anyway, because they're cheaper than two doubles or two queens.

But, yes, two twin beds in a room does exist.

When my son and I traveled to Germany in 2007, the hotel we were put up in had only twin size beds (2 per room) in each room. Not bad since our room was just me and the boy, but can only imagine how my best friend and her husband managed the whole week sleeping in twin beds! Spain had the one big (full size) and 1 small (twin) in the room. Again, for the parents traveling with 2 kids in the competition, it didn't make for good sleeping arrangements. But, when in Rome, do as the Romans.
