Have noticed more and more properties are now setting Junior Suites as the standard suite and the actual base level suites with separate bedrooms are classified as Premium Suites and thus not eligible for SUA.
I feel like this has existed for many years and is the norm. I’ve been a Globalist since 2018 and have been upgraded to many “Junior Suites” in all that time.
For me I believe the quintessential difference would be a “Suite” in hotel terms contains a couch and at least 2 TV’s. These are the only two commonalities that I’ve noticed across all properties.
I know I’ve had Junior Suites in California that are smaller than one of the remodeled base rooms at Rio. I also feel (which is subjective) based on my experiences that the smallest suite will be at least 30% larger than a base room. That kind of reiterates OP’s point though about suites just being larger rooms.
