Single room vs. Roommate

Road Scholar
Road Scholar over 5 years ago

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 have taken numerous RS trips and I much prefer a single room. I just don't want to take a chance of getting someone totally incompatible after paying so much for the trip. Also after a long day I enjoy…

    i'M LOOKING FOR A FEMALE ROOMMATE FOR TRIP #16429TTC TO MAINE IN OCTOBER. I USUALLY DON'T SPEND MUCH TIME IN THE ROOM OTHER THAN SLEEPING AND SHOWERING.  IT'S MUCH NICER BEING OUT OF THE ROOM DOING THINGS.

    I, too, like having a roommate ... as long as they don't snore. I'm a light sleeper, and if I can't sleep, my days are ruined. I wish there were a way to designate "non-snorers only"!

    Only problem is, many who snore aren't even aware that they do so. So someone may assert that they do not
    snore, unaware of the fact that they DO snore.

    I agree someone might not know they snore. People who never snored in their life can start due to any number of reasons - a new medication, getting a little heavier or even just getting a little older. And they won't know until they're sharing a room already and it's too late. So I recommend everyone download an app to find out. I like SnoreClock, a free app that records you at night so you can hear first hand whether you snore and even if you might have sleep apnea.

    As another light sleeper, I offer 2 words: ear plugs!

    I haven’t had any problem with my roommates but if you’re at all uncomfortable don’t do it
