What is a "run of the house room" ?
Hi all!
I was ckecking with Expedia for availability and rates in a resort and the first rate that came was for a "run of the house room", followed by a cottage seaview room rate.
What is a "run of the house" room? All rooms in that resort are cottages ,I think, so I don't understand what run of the house means.
Can someone please explain?
Many thanks in advance.

Someone else may be able to confirm or correct me, but I believe that once you pay for the room you're guaranteed a room. It's just that if you choose 'ROH' then you get whatever room is available when you check into the hotel at that time.

I wouldn't like this personally, as we prefer a twin room...so 'run of the house' might mean we are given a double bed and no other choice.
I don't care much for pre-paying either,unless the cancellation is very liberal.

There are no guaranteed room types in 99% of hotels. You "request" and you often get, but you may not. This goes for non-smoking rooms, king bed/twin beds/queen beds. Nothing is 100% guaranteed.
Run of the House means whatever is available at check in. Usually it is NOT going to be an upgraded room, a suite or a view room, people pay premiums for those things and a ROH room will be a lesser rate, perhaps lower floor, view of parking lot, etc. It is the "average" room in the hotel and most likely it will be in a "lowest price category.

Regarding the airline seats I will find out if I have a seat for an upcoming flight when I reach the airport as I wasn't assigned one online and they say they can't assign before the date of the flight. The hotels and airlines should not be allowed to oversell.

Hmm, I think I will go for the "cottage seaview room ", 40 USD more per day. At least I know what I am entitled to!!! I don't like not to know what I am paying for and what I am getting.
Thank you so much to all for your helpful replies
