SUITES
A guestroom with features not normally found in a typical hotel room. These usually include separate sitting/dining areas and/or a kitchenette. Other than extended stay suites, suites' kitchenettes usually include a microwave oven, a mini refrigerator, and sometimes a wet bar. Suites often have one or more bedrooms separated from the living/dining room. Some suites offer large whirlpool tubs. These are often called "Jacuzzi suites" or "spa suites". Note that the term "suite" does not always indicate a greater degree of luxury, and a standard room at a 4-star hotel is nearly always more luxurious than a "suite" at a budget hotel.
