I've booked this hotel with points several times in the past, and just noticed they've re-categorized their rooms and created a new standard room type (220 sq.ft. petite queen). It says the room used to be staff quarters, and I remember they used to sell a curio room with only a single bed that had the same description so maybe they crammed a queen bed in these rooms or this might be a subset of the old Vintage King/Queen category.

Either way, you can no longer redeem points for a room with two beds, and availability, which was previously amazing, is now much worse. Plus you are stuck booking a 220 square foot room in Texas.

I noticed they do have the old standard room types available for cash and points on select dates for a $25/night premium, but of course, those appear to be only during periods of low demand.
