Lodging Including Hotels

Lodging

There are a variety of types of lodging to choose from when traveling the world.

* Single rooms are for single travellers. In many hotels, a single room is actually the same as a double room.
* Double rooms are for two travellers sleeping in the same bed.
* Twin rooms have two separate single beds.
* Triple rooms have either three separate bed, or a double bed plus a single bed.
* Quads rooms are designed for 4 people or more.
* Suites are complete apartments with multiple rooms, intended for long stays — or just people with money to burn.

There is considerable variation and many frills within these basic types, the rule of thumb being that the more you pay, the larger your room becomes. Some business-oriented hotels offer an executive level, where a steep premium gets you access into an airline-style lounge and typically some perks like "free" Internet access or pay-per-view movies. Naming for these rooms varies, with eg. the Kuala Lumpur Hilton dubbing even its cheapest rooms as "Deluxe" and the next category up being "Executive" — but you need to upgrade one more step to an "Executive Suite" if you want to actually get the executive level perks. Some hotels are now taking an active stance on being smoke free; one example is the Marriot International Hotel Chain. [1]

Hotels may additionally offer meal service included in the price. Common terms include:
* Bed and breakfast (B&B). The morning meal is included. This may range considerably from a simple roll and coffee to an elaborate spread.
* Half board (aka half pension, demi-pension, modified American plan). A hotel rate that includes breakfast and one additional meal, typically dinner. Also called Modified American Plan and demi-pension.
* Full board (aka full pension, full American plan). A hotel rate in which three meals a day are included in the price.
* All inclusive. All meals and drinks are included. The list of "free" drinks is usually limited though: house wine is probably OK, champagne probably isn't.
