Single room vs. Roommate
Road Scholar
over 3 years ago
As a solo traveler, do you prefer a single room or ask to be paired with a roommate? Why?

As a male, i always get a single room. It seems to be a gender thing as almost no male will usually want to share a room with a strange male, but on RS trips many females are willing to do so. To me it is worth any extra cost to have a single room.

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.

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

I will not sleep on a sofa bed. It is unfair to pay the same price and one doesn’t get a bed.
