Sorry if this is a dumb question - Single vs. double rooms

pwgavin said:

I'm hoping to embark on my first Camino (Frances) in July/August. I'd like to stay at albergues but also perhaps have some privacy once in a while via booking some of the private rooms at Albergues. I have noticed, however, that many of the rooms are clearly for more than one person (aka 2 beds, etc.). Price aside, is it considered *rude* to book a 2 person (or 2 bed) room for just yourself? Is that considered bad etiquette, as it might prevent, say, a couple from having that room? Thank you very much for any input.

I like to book a room for myself quite often. If I can get it, I book twin beds rather than a double because it is nice to have one bed to sleep in and one to lay out my pack and gear on. Also, I've found that with twin beds you are more likely to be provided with two sets of towels, and that can be handy, such as shower in the evening AND the morning, or roll up and wring the clothes I've washed so they dry more quickly.
