Beware the "parlour room"!

Beware the "parlour room"!

I reserved a room with two double beds. On my way to the airport, the hotel called, told me they had a note in my reservation that I wanted one bed (I couldn't check, because I was driving), and said that because the hotel was booked solid they would be able to give me a "parlour room". That is, a couch that pulls out into a bed.

I was dubious, but still driving (hands free of course!), and when they said "it still has our pillow top mattress, it's just a bit thinner", I thought "okay, that doesn't sound so bad."

Now I'm in the room. It's the thin pull-out mattress that you would expect from a cheap pull-out couch. As a bonus, the room is right beside the elevators. I am not looking forward to my stay here, because I value sleep.
