It sounds fancy and no, you can't file suit...

Higher end hotels call them 1 bedrooms. That’s what you need to be looking for.

Oh this was such a hard lesson to learn when we were new parents and booking rooms we thought would have a separate sleeping space!

Once we figured out the scam we looked for real suites and then realized we couldn’t afford them anyway. Now we have teens and can often afford a suite, but the pull out beds they sometimes have aren’t suitable for anyone to be sleeping on. Connecting rooms for the win!

Agreed, OP.

I'd be extremely embarrassed if I were OP right now.

Hyatt Place offers this in their basic rooms. A dividing wall between the pull out couch and bed. I like it because I can sit up and read when others are sleeping.

Hyatt Places are the best for sports tournaments.

I’ve stayed in suites in holiday inns and courtyard. They just don’t have a lot of them and they aren’t that more than regular rooms so they get booked quickly.

What properties are you referring to?

Yes, a few Hamptons have true suites. Often it’s just a little bigger of a room, with a fold out couch.

Spring Hill Suites has a mix of suites and larger rooms. One can book an actual suite if desired and not already booked.

As does Residence Inn.

But it is true that many places list so-called “studio suites” as if they were the real thing.

Homewood suites also offer separate living/sleeping rooms.

Embassy Suites is the only chain hotel that actually offers a suite (defined as "a set of rooms"). A slightly larger room with a kitchenette is not a suite.

Can someone do a class action suit about this? Or is there a good hotel search site where you can filter for honest to God suites?
