A hotel room with one king bed or two queens—does it really matter? To some, it’s a minor detail. To others, it’s a full-blown travel dilemma. We’ve had our fair share of debates over which is better, and after plenty of hotel stays, we’ve landed on a preference. But is it the right one?
For instance, take this stay at the Hyatt Grand Cypress. You have a choice of 1 King Bed or 2 double beds.
When One King Bed is the Better Choice
This is easy as we’d rather have one king than two double beds. But what if the choice is two queen-size beds or 1 king bed, like at this Hyatt Place?
If we have the option, I’ll still take the room with 1 king bed.
When the rooms are similarly arranged, you’ll find that the one with a single bed often features a cozy sitting area or a more spacious desk. We appreciate this because we tend to work from our room while traveling unless we take a little break and give ourselves a day or two off from writing posts.
Why You Might Consider Two Beds Instead
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 prefer a room with two beds? Do you even care when booking worth points, and are you willing to take whatever is available?
