What Exactly is a Condo “Spot”?

Missouri Bead Retreat — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:57:28 +0000

I’ve been getting a lot of questions around spots and how they can be split with other people. As such, I figured a more detailed post may help explain what exactly a spot “is”. :)

The condo block is made up of four, 4-bedroom condos. Each condo has a total of six beds, where each bed equals one spot. This is where the 24 available spots is derived from. The following beds are available in each condo:

Two double beds (2 spots)
One queen sized bed (1 spot)
One king sized bed (1 spot)
Two twin beds (2 spots)

Below is an image of the condo floor plans showcasing which rooms contain which beds. The blue text at the top of the image indicates the maximum number of people allowed in that room.

You have the option of splitting your spot (sharing a bed) with someone to keep costs down. Any double, queen or king sized beds may be shared with another person; this allows you to control who you share a bed or room with.

I hope this helps clear up any confusion regarding spots, beds and the condos! If you have any other questions, please feel free to leave a comment, or to post a message on our Facebook page.

Thank you!
