yeah, in all of my years of traveling, i never knew what this term meant. hotel terms are really misleading, no? (Best Available Rate, Run of House, etc.).
when i think of run of house, i think of a great room....and getting to walk throughout the hotel un-restrained. i want to be able to walk into the kitchen in the middle of the night and rummage through the refrig. that is what i think of when the term "run of house" is mentioned. for instance, i have the run of the house in my house. and, i don't sleep in the bathtub.
odd terms....
