Hm.. you probably never tried to rent in UK... most of "standard" 2br homes will not be able to accommodate king size bed in master bedroom

Answering your question... I have yet to see one king bed in the "quality" hotel chain which will be wider than 2 double beds, so it looks equitable... you can get one king or 2 doubles.

Again, remembering UK - you also can get 2 singles and THAT is something I don't recommend to anyone.
