Junior suites have 1 king or 2 queen options, but both appear to have a sofa bed too. And the square footage is listed as the same, and the photos also look about the same - with neither having a bedroom door. Has anyone seen both room types and can explain the difference?

The junior suites DO have a door separating the two rooms (which I feel makes the name is misnomer) and instead of a wet bar have an additional bathroom. Again, I am still unclear how the executive suite is premium and the other standard as the junior sounds better at least to me! Either way, Mark was very helpful and we are looking forward to our stay!

If the kids were along, I'd want a junior suite with a door and extra bathroom. More like two regular rooms stuck together, but sometimes that's what you want.
