What the hotel promises
Thirty square feet more than a Standard King and, in the resort's words, an "open, airy layout with soothing earthy tones". The amenity list is the same core set as the other rooms; the difference is space and finish rather than features. The page also reminds you that the resort has packages, restaurants, a casino and live shows, which you knew, or you would not be reading a page about the Premier King.
Is the upgrade worth it?
For one night, probably not: thirty square feet is roughly the space of an armchair and the walk around it. For two or three nights, when suitcases come out and stay out, the extra room starts to matter. Note that connecting rooms are listed for the Standard King and the Standard Two Queen but not for this room, so groups wanting adjoining doors should look at those types instead.
Good for
- A couple staying a weekend rather than a night.
- A business traveller with a long conference day who wants a bit of room to spread papers out.
- Anyone who saw the Standard King and thought "nearly".
