Think prices are for rooms there, and (well I hope!) they sleep comfortably in a single bed. Either way, if she had a double bed, so would you in your room.
The reason is-Amy Lowell was an insomniac. And there was one way she used to guarantee herself a good nights sleep in hotels. That was, to book one room for her to sleep in, and then book the rooms above, below, to the left and to the right of her. So her stay would have cost 5 times more than yours. It's also why you would have slept seperately-but not next to each other! Also I didn't say anything about number of rooms bought.
I hope I didn't say anything to ruin this riddle, as it's not really my forte writing them haha...but it's fact about Amy Lowell so I thought I'd try and make one. Good guesses everyone though!
Sticking with insomnia...Groucho Marx also suffered from it after losing a lot of money in the stockmarket crash of 29. So when he couldn't sleep, what did he do? (I don't know how much of this is method, or just passing the time...but there is something he used to do.)
EDIT: Off for a week's holiday tomorrow so might not feed back on answers. Someone else jump in if they wish
