Anyone used hotels.com?

And when you book a 'double room' as opposed to a 'king room' - do they generally mean 2 beds?

Thanks!

I've always assumed double room means one bed that is double?? I am probably wrong though!

King room is for king bed....or am I completely wrong? It's quite possible!!

I get confused - as they seem to have queen beds and king beds generally. I am trying to book a hotel room in New York for DH, DS & myself in October. The hotel we want has its own website which says they have King Rooms and Double Doubles

I'm with you Karen - In my experience a Double room is one standard double bed, a Queen room is one Queen size bed and a King room is one King size bed

I would guess a double double would be 2 doubles (sorry this is sounding like a Monty Python sketch )

Well although the hotel's own website says they have Queen rooms and Double Doubles, hotel.com would only quote for either a King room or a Double. I elected to go for the double - and ensured that the reservation stated clearly that there would be 2 adults and 1 child. I also added as a 'special request' that we have a room with 2 double beds.

As for DS being a 'child' - we are going to New York for 5 nights to celebrate his 18th birthday. He will be 18 on the day that we check out! Pushing it a bit, I know - but according to hotels.com - they consider anyone a child up to the age of 18.

Fingers crossed we'll be OK!

I'm sure it'll be fine Julie, especially if you have put that in the notes!
