Well, I'm not sure which is which (i.e. is "superior" better than "deluxe"??), but there are differences in the rooms I get.
I call them "the good room" and the "OK" room. The good room has a larger bathroom. Toilet is in a sperate "closet" inside the bathroom, with a door. The room its-self has a sperate area by the entry door with has desk, and a little TV by the desk. There is no closet. Instead, there is a wardrobe. Space for hanging clothes, and shelves for folded clothes.
The "OK" room doesn't have the "toilet room" inside the bathroom. The desk is by the bed. There is no second TV. Room has a closet and a dresser. Its alos a touch smaller.
One time, I stayed on the Penthouse Floor. Room was like an "OK" room, but had different carpet and fixtures and accessories. Also, it had a large, sloping window with electically operated shades. I acutally prefer "the good room"
Also, one time I needed a room with two. It was a "OK Room", nbut with two beds instead of one, wit hthe desk between the beds. Problem was it was on the "bad" side of the hotel. The hotel has *no* rooms with 2 beds on the "good" side of the hotel. Is that common? Double rooms are usually not as good as the rooms with one bed?
I would never expect a suite either. I pay for a regular room. I believe I am already getting upgraded to a "good room". I would never even think of asking for more.

Come to think of it, all the rooms with two beds were on one side of the hotel, but it wasn't necessarily a good or bad side. Double rooms are ALWAYS the least popular, especially during the week when rooms are mostly filled with business travelers. It doesn't surprise me that your hotel has them on the "bad side".
I'm glad that you can notice the difference in the two room types. Usually "deluxe" is better than "superior", at least where I worked. As I said, often hotels just use this for price structure and use the exact same rooms. It sounds like this is not true.
Lastly, I was not suggesting that you ask for a suite, I just said you could have. It sounds like the hotel is taking good care of you and you are a satisfied customer. If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!
