Shared hotel rooms get kiiiinda awkward when one friend starts planning around a hookup.

On a work trip, one woman invites her best friend along but still expects the master bedroom if she brings someone back.

That leaves her friend facing the pullout couch while a stranger could potentially move through the shared space overnight.

See why Reddit thought the bigger issue was not really the bigger room.

AITA Work trip w/ friend, who should get bigger room?

My best friend and I work together, though my position is more senior than hers.

She is 40F and a “tired mom” of two young boys. I am 37F and recently single with no kids.

I had an opportunity through my job to attend a fun event and golf tournament in a town about three hours from where we live.

I invited my friend to come along with me, and she accepted. We typically love to go to events and always have fun together.

The trip started off pretty routinely.

She drove us up to the location. On my company work Amex, I got us a giant hotel suite for the night.

It had a master bedroom with king bed and jacuzzi bath in one room, a shared toilet and shower, a full kitchen with laundry room, and a living room with a full-sized pull-out sofa. (It was truly a very large space.)

But soon their priorities began to clash.

My friend knew this whole trip that I was interested in meeting men and would potentially be bringing someone back to our room, and she fully supported me on this. (She knows how sad I have been after my breakup.)

However, she was adamant that we (the guy and me) should take the living room sofa bed so she could sleep in the master bedroom, with the jacuzzi being in her space as well.

I thought that was absurd and that she should take the sofa bed since there would be two of us. We could close the door, have more privacy, the bath, etc.

AITA?

This trip didn’t turn out the way anyone expected.

What did Reddit think?

This commenter isn’t buying a single word from this story.

The title of this story alluded that there was more than one bedroom, which is clearly not the case.

If she really wants to go through with this plan, then she should give her friend the bed.

To say this commenter disapproves of this trip would be an understatement.

She argued that two people needed the bedroom and privacy more, while her friend wanted the only room with a door she could close.

Most folks online judged OP as definitely being in the wrong, saying inviting a friend on a shared trip and then bringing a stranger back put that friend in an uncomfortable position.

If the hookup needs the master suite, maybe the hookup needs its own hotel room.
