Road Scholar

As a solo traveler, do you prefer a single room or ask to be paired with a roommate? Why?

Oh my word...I would not be willing to sleep on a sofa bed! Nice that you had your own bathrooms though.

After whole day of being with people I like to be able to rest, read a book or watch what I want. Getting a good night sleep it’s very important to me when another loaded day awaits. I never had bad experience…

I totally agree with you., with one rare exception. Since Road Scholar limits the number of singles, it became necessary to agree to have a roommate on a 6-day trip to the Florida Keys. We were lodged at Key Largo in a one- bedroom, two-story condo unit with a bathroom on each floor. I slept in the bedroom upstairs, and my roommate slept in on the sofa-bed the main room downstairs. If Road Scholar used that type of lodging more often, I think many males would be willing to share.
