Short Term Rental: King vs Queen Bed

[Chris Napierala]

Looking for input on bed size for a short term rental space were working on currently.  The upstairs bedroom will fit a king bed but would only allow 12"-14" on each side.  One side will be an outer wall and the other side would be partially against a stairway railing.  Otherwise if we go with a queen bed we can have 20" - 22" on each side.

I know people prefer a King over a Queen as do I but wondering if we should stuff in the King or provide a smaller bed with better access around it.

For further consideration - We will have another Full/Twin bed in the main area.  Our intended guest would be a small family or a couple.  This will be a small space in the mountains with a very custom boutique type feel of lots of different wood and metal finishes.

Thanks,

Chris
