Three children staying in a hotel room problem

lynn09

We have 3 children, the third one who is now over 2 years old.
Does anyone know of any hotel chains which allow three children and 2 adults to stay in the same room.
Travelodge will allow this if the child is under 2 and in a travelcot, but they are woolley on their policy when there are 3 children in beds.

Thanks

There are hardly any hotels which have rooms for more than 4.
Let your 2 year old be under 2 for as long as they look young enough. Then you'll just have to stay in 2 Travelodge rooms or something similar on special offers to keep prices low, even if you end up moving mattresses from one room to another and leaving one room unused, then returning the mattress back to the other room so the cleaner doesn't report you for over-occupancy. We've been doing this for 5 years and when we had our 4th child, it no longer felt so expensive having to pay for 2 rooms!

No, its fire regulations. The biggest option available to you would be to only advise the hotel of 2 of your children.

I have 3 children too and always just book one travelodge room, I check in with my eldest and say the rest of the party are following, they have never questioned it and arent bothered. There is always such a heavy flow of people milling round these hotels theyd be none the wiser anyway.
Upto you but its always worked for me

Some Holiday Inns have rooms for five, we used them once or twice although that was about four or five years ago.

Que ??

It's just that there isn't much demand for rooms that sleep 5.

It really depends where you want to stay. Most higher end chains have a plentiful supply of interconnecting rooms and that would probably be your best bet for a city hotel.

As for fire regulations, hotels are not allowed to overcrowd rooms by law and face hefty fines or even prosecution if they do.

We have always top and tailed the two youngest in one bed and booked a room for 4. We have done this for years and in many countries. From Hilton to travelodge. From France to the USA. Never had a problem.

Saying that we accept that if ever pulled we would offer to pay for a 2nd room without question. (Or if they are full put DH in the car!!!!!) We travel a lot and I can not see this happening though.
