Velocity’s question is inherently unanswerable as either could be crazy and either could be in the right. I would say if there’s no other way to decide, the one that is closest to the actual ambient temperature wins out.
Unless:
If it’s lower than 10C the “too hot” guy loses
If it’s hotter than 30C the “too cold” guy loses.
The correct answer to “Who gets to control the thermostat?” is “My wife.”
The thermostat poll—not enough info.
Are we sleeping, are we sitting around watching a movie, is it hot outside, cold outside, etc.
Too many variables
Does either person have a medical condition that’s temperature sensitive? Which is more uncomfortable? So many variables.
Everybody saying there’s not enough info in the temperature poll is correct.
However, I voted in it, under the presumption that people who are too cold can put on more clothes; while people who are too hot can only take off so much. I was possibly influenced by my parents; my father would be in shirt sleeves, my mother in a sweater over her blouse, and if I said I was cold (though I was more likely to be in the "too hot group) I got told to put a sweater on. Or go sit on the furnace grate or in front of the fireplace if it was going.
One of the things I like about wood stove heat is that this sort of problem can usually be solved just by the cold person sitting closer to the stove.
I noted this and voted other and immediately took myself here to see if anyone else had noticed! The desire to correct people on the internet is not to be underestimated.
Aaaaaahhh, anxiety relieved…
As to the answer, the answer is 100% whatever room comes with a giant tub. My wife loves long soaks, and doing so in a nicer hotel is a big plus, because she can waste hot water for hours with no guilt. The one thing she missed about the apartment we were living in prior to getting our home is that was a quite nice two bedroom, two bath, and BOTH tubs were garden tubs. Our current 1.5 bath home has just the one, “normal” sized tub.
If we ever have the funds in the future and move into another home (probably eventually needed as I suspect a three level is a bad idea in 15ish years as we approach retirement) a single level home with a garden tub are going to be HIGH on her list of wants.
What is a “garden tub”?
Looks like it’s more a marketing term without a clear definition, though that’s what was listed in the apartment’s description. Short version, it was a distinctly wide oval tub, about 25% deeper and wider than the normal rounded “rectangular” tubs in most places we’ve lived. Pretty much perfect for stretching out, and it holds noticeably more water which therefore cools slower. And my wife likes to soak in water that would leave me feeling scalded!
Uses the term, and gives the following “average” definitions:
Garden Tub 60 to 70 inches (length) 42 to 50 inches (width) 24 to 30 inches (height)
Of which the one in the old apartment would have been on the low end of that range at a guess. I mean, we’ve been here for almost 23 years now. Another three more or so and it’ll be paid off at least. 
Holy crap, did I F that up.
Going to try again.
(FYI, it’s a choice I recently had to make)
mmm
If one uses a toaster oven/air fryer, day old pizza is nearly as good as fresh.
When I was younger, I used to go to SF and D&D cons, and often shared a room with buddies. But mind you, close friends, people you know,

Bathtub, not shower (increasingly hard to find)
[/quote] Shower, bathtub optional.
I’m honestly surprised so many people picked the microwave in the rehated pizza poll. Microwaving just makes for a soggy crust and IMO is the worst method. If a microwave is the only cooking implement I have available (like at the office), I’d rather just eat it cold. But the toaster oven is best (although I haven’t tried the air fryer. I’m going to have to give that a shot).
If I’m paying 50% on a room for three, then they have to flip a coin for the larger bed. It’s only fair.
I’m indifferent between a queen and king bed, with or without my husband. But i like both a shower and a fancy tub. Weird to have to choose only one.
It depends what I’m doing. If it’s a square dance weekend, i won’t have time to soak in a tub, and I’ll want to shower twice a day, so I pick the shower. If it’s an actuarial meeting, I’ll have some downtime in the evening, and i won’t really need to bathe at all. I’d like to soak in that tub with a book.
The beds are probably the same size. But you probably spend as much time in the bathroom as either of them, and use as much shelf and floor space as either one of them.
The thermostat question has “turn up the thermostat” in both options. Which always results in a warmer room, whether you are heating or cooling.
I know right! If only the poll creator had noticed himself and pointed it out in the text.
I haven’t had a bath since I was 5. I have no intention of ever having another. A big walk in shower is a plus. A bathtub means nothing to me
This. I’ve used hot tubs, but that’s different. I’m not bathing. I’m enjoying a soak with friends!
My bathroom came with a big tub, in the last ten years I have taken a bath in it twice- both times to try to relieve sore muscles, etc.,.
Think of a bath as enjoying a soak without friends. I don’t get in a bath to get clean. (I’m only willing to get in a bath if it’s oversized, and not the kind where you’re half out of the water.) Since we have a hot tub, our bathtub gets used less than once per year.
