Hotel amenities
From a list of hotel amenities to be translated into Danish.
What do these two types of room refer to? I have seen it mentioned on many hotel sites, but haven't been able to find out what exactly it means. Hope you can help.

first floor (down) has access to/from the outside (out)
Down and out = ground level room with access (entrance door) directly from the exterior of the building.
Down and in = ground level room with interior access to the room (doors are in a hall inside the building)
The usage is often for accessibility, especially if there are no elevators for the 'out' rooms. It is rare to see "in" listed, but some do.
Note from asker:
| Thank you for the clarification. That sounds more logical in this context. |

room downstairs at the back/room downstairs at the front
See link:
Most people make their preference known when they make their reservations if they have one. Each designation has its advantages and disadvantages; upstairs at the back is usually quietest. "Down and in" (downstairs on the non-parking-lot side) usually has easy access to the pool, and no headlights in your window. "Up and out" lets you keep an eye on your car, but again, with less headlights and slightly less noise than the "down and out" that you can park right in front of.

: makes sense, given the typical courtyard layouts of modern US motels and hotel/resorts.
