What does 'Run of the House' on hotel bookings mean?

marthachis

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and need some advice. Been looking at lots of advice on booking cheap hotel deals (for Hong Kong), but I've been checking out some of the hotel search websites I've come across the phrase Economy room 'run of the house' and I'm not sure what it means.

Summary GBP per room per night**

Economy Room Run of House - Room Type Assigned On Arrival Cable/TV/News/Movies*Lge Work Desk*Internet (Standard Rate - ) Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

GBP 91.36 per room per night
Its a good bit cheaper than their other rooms but I'm a bit nervous that they might stuff me in a broom cupboard..!!!

Just a guess here, but is it the equivalent of "run of the mill"? ie bog standard. Nowt flash.

Like I said, just guessing.

I work in the travel industry and have worked for many tour operators and basically when we contract hotel rooms we are given a run of house price which means that in theory our clients are given the best room available (not the suites!!)

So you should have no need to worry. You wont be given the broom cupboard!!
