All of the above room types have an attached toilet and shower/bath, unless otherwise is specified. - SUITE (ste):A Suite is usually two or more rooms clearly defined; a bedroom and a living or sitting room, with a door that closes between them. Many hotels use the word "suite" to define any room with a sofa in it so be sure to check thoroughly if what you really want are the two or more separate rooms. - JUNIOR SUITE (jrste): A "junior" suite is typically a larger room with a separate seating area. Sometimes it's got a small divider between the part of the room that the bed is in and the seating area, but it is not two separate rooms. - STUDIO (stu): This is usually configured like a Junior Suite, but has the added advantage of a "kitchenette," or cooking facilities. - APPARTMENTS Next comes bedding categories. These are usually easier to figure out: KING (K): A king sized bed, in U.S. measurements, that would be 72 inches wide by 72 inches long. CALIFORNIA KING (CK): a kingsized bed that's longer than it is wide: 72 inches wide by 78 inches long. QUEEN (Q) A bed in U.S. measurements that is 60 inches wide and 72 inches long. DOUBLE (D) A bed in U.S. measurements that is 54 inches wide and 72 inches long. TWIN (T) A twin is supposed to be 36 inches wide and 72 inches long, but it can also describe a bed that is as narrow as 32 inches wide. It is also sometimes called a "single." 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. Q.
