This has always seemed counterproductive to me. I'm on other boards where starting new threads that are duplicates of existing ones is frowned upon.
The answer is simple and someone already hit upon it upthread: a lot of hotel rooms are designed to fit either 1 king with two nightstands or two doubles with one nightstand. Two queens would not comfortably fit.
Newer builds are often better. We travel with two teenagers and look for 2-queen + sofabed rooms. Newer Spring Hill Suites have them. Newer HIX's often have them (we're sometimes talking rural stays where HIX is a "good" choice). Older full-service city hotels often don't.
