OK - I think I get what you are talking about. I've had this problem at Marriott properties as well when I've PAID for a suite. The hotel industry in general is starting to get VERY loose with what they call a "Deluxe Room" or a "Suite".

In my Marriott case, I called the front desk to say "I booked a suite" and they said "Well, we don't have any FULL suites. They are all mini-suites." They ended up giving us a second room at a very low rate, but it was still frustrating that the word "suite" by itself now can mean anything from "slightly bigger hotel room" on up, depending on property. (I rarely see the term "Junior Suite" used any more.)
