Good advice.

My guess is that the OP booked one of those boardroom suites with the big dining room table and chairs with enough room for Thanksgiving dinner for a family. It has been my experience that these are corner units and there are two (maybe four) on each floor, depending on hotel layout, but it has also been my experience that they usually come with king beds as they are made for business meetings so the number of two bedded rooms may be quite small. Still the OP paid for an exec room and if you are downgraded, you should receive an adjustment.
