Choosing Between One Bed or Two Beds: Which is Better?

Some issues can be categorized as first-world problems. I’ll include with this list the dilemma of booking a room with one king-size bed or two queen or double-size beds. While there are times when you don’t have a choice, you’ll occasionally have to pick which one you want.

For instance, take this stay at the Hyatt Grand Cypress. You have a choice of 1 King Bed or 2 double beds.

This is easy as we’d rather have one king than two double beds. But what if the choice is two queen beds or 1 king bed, like at this Hyatt Place?

If we have the option, I’ll take the room with 1 king bed.

That’s because if the rooms are set up the same way, the room with only one bed will often have an extra sitting area or a larger desk. We like this, as we’re often working from the room when we travel unless we intentionally take the time off and skip writing posts for a day or two.

We also feel that people who need two beds would want those rooms more than us, so we’ll only book a two-bed room if that’s the only thing available. If we end up booking a room with two beds, I’ll message the hotel in advance and offer to move to a room with a single king or queen bed if there’s one available.

What do you do when traveling? Do you book a room with one bed or do you prefer a room with two beds?  Do you even care when booking worth points and you’re willing to take whatever is available?
