A door between the bed and the rest
Marriott's gallery names two one-bedroom layouts: the One-Bedroom Suite and the One-Bedroom Queen Suite. It also has a photo of the "One-Bedroom Suite – Living Area". The point of these suites is the door. One person can sleep while another works, watches television or cooks. On an extended stay that separation turns a hotel room into something closer to a small apartment.
When it is worth asking for one
- Work weeks. If you are in Belleville on a contract, for training or for a project, you can keep the work in the living area and the sleep in the bedroom.
- Parents with a toddler. The child can sleep in the bedroom while the adults stay up in the living area.
- Late casino evenings. If one of you walks over to Shorelines for the tables until 2 AM on a Saturday, the other is not woken up by the return.
The queen version
The name suggests the One-Bedroom Queen Suite has a queen bed in the bedroom, where the standard One-Bedroom Suite may have a king. Marriott's gallery confirms both names but not the bed in each. When you send the form below, write "one-bedroom, king" or "one-bedroom, queen" in the notes if it matters to you.
Not published
We could not confirm sizes, sofa beds in the living area, or how many of each layout the hotel has. A one-bedroom suite also takes more of the hotel's inventory than a studio, so availability on busy weekends (summer at Sandbanks, wedding season) is the first thing we check.
