Choosing a room for the honeymoon
Decide between the two main room types listed: Standard Room (2 Queen Beds) and Room (1 King Bed). If you prefer more privacy and a king bed, select the Room; for two beds or more flexible sleeping arrangements, pick the Standard Room.
Standard room size is listed at about 436 square feet in public information, so both room types offer roomy layouts compared with many city hotels. If you want a specific view (golf, pool or lake), request it at booking but note views are subject to availability.
- Standard Room — 2 Queen Beds; about 436 sq ft (public listing)
- Room — 1 King Bed; good option for couples wanting a king-size bed
- Ask for room near pool, lake or golf course when you reserve
