What does a run-of-the-house room mean?
When a hotel offers many different styles of room, a run-of-the-house room simply means that the hotel will guarantee that you receive a room offering certain standard features. Bedding types, views, and smoking / non-smoking are not usually part of the run-of-the-house description, and are upon request only. All requests not part of the run-of-the-house standard for that hotel cannot be guaranteed until your arrival at the hotel.
