Thanks for posting this! It would be good to post the link to this in the D*C LJ a few more times over the next few months before the con, also. :) This post pretty much sums up the material stuff and behavorial guide for roommies.
Roomed with some friends one year. Never doing that again, as it would result in the doom of the friendship. Mess everywhere. Dropped clothes and costumes and shoes in the middle of the floor. One costumer got up at 2 am to sew and the one person sleeping in the room at the time didn't get much sleep after that. She didn't say anything, but she should have. And checking out was a nightmare, with all their mess. And they weren't going to leave a tip for housekeeping, and I had to shame them into it. So very bad.
