WL 2 standard vs. deluxe

[mericletwins]

Having a family of five always seems to pose hotel challenges. I am looking at WL as a possibility. Is the junior suite that I read about on allears.net the same as a deluxe room. There is mention of junior suites, but in the pricing chart it doesn't say anything about them. It does list a deluxe room though. The deluxe room is $485/night and a standard room is $215. Can anyone tell me why you would get the junior suite over two standard rooms (which is the cheaper option) or vice versa?

With the junior suite/deluxe room, you are guaranteed to all be together. If you book two regular rooms you can request connecting, but it's not guaranteed. That would probably cause a lot of people to think twice.

Plus, with the deluxe room, you get concierge level access, which you wouldn't get unless you booked two concierge level standard rooms. You also get a sitting area so you can sit in comfort (I hate sitting on a hotel bed to watch TV).

However, with two standard rooms, you also get two bathrooms (the junior suites/deluxes only have one) so getting ready to go is much faster. Plus, no one is having to sleep on a sofa bed, so you may be more comfortable.

There are pros and cons to both choices.
