Not thrilled with King Room at CBR

[tbssenterprises]

The only room category left at CBR was a King....so I booked it. What's the chance of getting two queens when I check in? Going in July (not 4th)

If you booked a King room, expect a King room. You could ask, but if King is all that is available, that means they have booked all their 2 queen rooms.

If you want 2 queens, you'd need to change to a resort with 2 queens available.

You have a better chance going K to QQ than going from QQ to K. Call and have them place the request on your reservation so the room assigner sees it. They usually do room assignments a week to ten days before check-in, so do it before then. It's worth a shot.

I always found it weird that the king prices are significantly higher than the same room with 2 queens, especially when half the max occupancy means half the wear and tear on room/resort.




After tax it’s $40 a night extra. Am I missing something?

Nope. We have found we almost always pay 10-20% more for a king over 2 queens everywhere not just WDW. Just seems to be an industry standard.

I think that's the "romantic" premium. They know couples will tend to prefer king beds so those rooms are more in demand. My girlfriend and I always go for the two beds though, not only because it's cheaper, but she alleges I steal blankets...

It is the same at every hotel I have stayed at around the world. There are fewer King rooms to go around so they "command" a premium. This is according to the hoteliers bean counters.

Not my experience at the low budget hotels I stay at - same price for King or 2 Q at Fairfield Inn Flamingo crossing

My aunt worked in hospitality for 40 some odd years. She said there's a handful of factors that go into this but the two main reasons are that there are less rooms with king beds and you have more "space" in a room with one king compared to two queens, even if the rooms are the exact same size.

We are in the same situation and always ask hotel for extra blanket now that DD is in other bed
