6. Guest Room Preferences
• A hotel guest’s room preferences are defined
by his/her choice of:
– Room Type
– Room Configuration
– Room Designation
• How might guest room preferences evolve in
the future?
Figure 4-2www.indianchefrecipe.com

7. Room Types
• Room types are based on the intended number
of occupants. The four basic types are:
– Single Occupancy
– Double Occupancy
– Triple Occupancy
– Quad Occupancy
• Guest room rates typically change with the
greater number of occupants.
Figure 4-3www.indianchefrecipe.com

8. Room Configurations
• Room configurations characterize the physical
makeup of the guest room.
• The standard configuration is the room
configuration that makes up the majority of the
sleeping rooms at a particular hotel.
• This is also referred to as Run of House (ROH)
rooms.
Figure 4-4www.indianchefrecipe.com

9. Room Configurations
• The enhanced configuration is understood to
include more amenities and/or services than
the standard configuration.
• The suite configuration involves a larger room
(in terms of square footage) than the standard
configuration.
• The disabled access configuration represents
guest rooms equipped to meet the guidelines
of the ADA.
Figure 4-5www.indianchefrecipe.com

10. All Suite vs. Extended Stay Standard
Configurations
• Room configurations remain constant among
all hotel target markets.
• The standard configuration is the category of
guest room that is the most prevalent at a
specific hotel.
• Enhanced and suite configurations for these
target markets are based on the most prevalent
(ROH) room makeup.
Figure 4-6www.indianchefrecipe.com

11. Room Designations
• The room designation identifies whether it is a
smoking or nonsmoking room.
• Hotels may distinguish room designations by
grouping them on separate floors.
• How does the recent tobacco legislation
limiting smoking areas affect how hotels
designate their rooms?

13. Room Numbering
• Hotels assign room numbers by floor. Each
floor designates the first portion of the room
numbers, while the rest of the room numbers
are sequentially assigned on that floor.
• The assignment of the first floor room
numbers is relative to the location of the front
desk and lobby.
• What numbers are routinely omitted in North
America? Asia?

15. Room Status Reconciliation
• The hotel industry assigns a status to every
guest room to discern what guest rooms are
available for sale.
• Room status reconciliation ensures that rooms
are properly designated by their current status
and assigned a new status as it changes.
Figure 4-11www.indianchefrecipe.com

16. Room Status States
• Room status categories are grouped by the
guest room’s state of occupancy, state of
cleanliness, and state of exception.
• These states are:
– Occupied
– Vacant
– Dirty
