They have several room configurations.  In the past, I've been in smaller rooms with two beds next to one another near the bathroom only partly divided from the living room/kitchen areas.  (According to the web site[1], that would be the Junior Suite.)  That room is less amenable to sharing by strangers.

This year, I was surprised to get a larger room with a king size bed on the one side and the living room on the other, with the kitchenette, bathroom, and entrance hall between.  (The One-bedroom Suite.)  Sharing a bed would be off-putting to many, but the sleeper sofa in the living room could be used by one occupant.

You got one with two queen size beds with some sort of a divider between them.  (I don't see that floor plan listed at the web site, but I guess it was the Two-bedroom Suite.)  I can well imagine that to be shared easily.

Those considering sharing a room next year clearly must choose rooms with these particulars in mind, which might necessitate early reservations.
