I saw this article "Hotel Room Type" in Straits Time Classified and thought it would be good to share this with everyone..
Room Categories:
STANDARD ROOM - The lowest category of the room type with basic furnishing and amenities. Usually the hotel will use this type of room for agent contract rates.
SUPERIOR ROOM - This is subject to interpretation. it's suppose to mean superior to a standard room in both size and furnishing, but it may also refer to room with a better view. For most 5 star hotels, superior is consider the lowest range category.
DELUXE ROOM - The view, location of the room, furnishing, amenities and room size are suppose to be better. In some Caribbean hotels, a deluxe room is a lower category than a superior room (It is always best to check before book)
EXECUTIVE ROOM - (This category is not feature in ST Classified) This category is almost the same is deluxe, but it is cater for businessman. You may find fax machine, Internet connection and most hotel provide daily newspaper.
JUNIOR SUITE - This is typically a larger bedroom with a seating area. Usually comes with a sofa set at the seating area. It may have a divider between the bed and the sitting area, but it is not two separate room.
SUITE - Usually two or more clearly defined rooms, often a bedroom and a living room with a door between them. Some hotel use the word "Suite" to define any room with a sofa in it, without having two or more separate rooms (eg. Macau's Venetian Hotel), so check to make sure which is it.
