Not given connecting rooms

OP,
Bottom line is you were promised something by a TA that has not been done as requested (not that that surprises me in the least!)
The bottom line is that the OP will receive the exact rooms she paid for - two suites.
As for the TA, she did do what was asked, she requested adjoining rooms.
As I alluded to earlier, let's not go down the mis-sold route without having access to the other side of the story.
This will always be a he says/she says situation and will never progress very far (IMO) - and probably not a sensible accusation to make when the 'accused' already has the money so there may be no real incentive to remedy this if the OP makes such accusations - irrespective of whether they are justified or not.
As there are nine weeks to departure, I am sure this issue is not insurmountable.That some people would consider it acceptable that the OP leaves her 3 young children in a seperate room with a communal corridor seperating them is very odd.
Do you mean just like they do in a hospital?0 -

No comparison to a hotel room whatsoever.0 -

You mean where there is security and trained staff on hand to look after the children.
My eldest spent several weeks in hospital when he was very young. Either me, my wife or a close family member were with him 24hrs a day. Access to the ward was locked at all times.
Just so I understand - you genuinely believe it's ok to leave a 3yr old in a hotel bedroom with no adult supervision and the only access to their parents being via a communal corridor where they won't be able to tell one door from another?
Do you have children?0 -
But you couldn't go out for the evening with 3 young children!
Why ever not?
When ours were the same ages as the OP's children we either rented an apartment or villa or went to an hotel with evening entertainment. In either case we ate out as a family and then either went back to the villa and sat out on the terrace, or if it was an hotel we all watched the evening entertainment and they joined in with the children's part of it or they sat and crayoned, played with cars, etc. etc, and then we either took them back to the rooms or they fell asleep in fully reclining pushchairs. They were obviously up later than their normal routine, but we managed fine. We weren't clubbing obviously, but we certainly didn't stay in every evening.
I would never have considered putting them down to sleep in an hotel and going out for the evening.0 -

If you do that with upset kids, even if you're in rooms next to each other, you're going to fall out with the entire rest of the hotel. :huh:
Personally, when my kids were small, I let them have their own room, then at about ten at night, I took their room card, simple as that, nobody can get in, and they don't annoy the rest of the hotel. trust me, it's not that bad. As long as your rooms are on the same corridor it's fine.0 -

Sorry your post does not make sense.
How does having a connecting door between two rooms open upset the other guests?
More likely to upset them if they are down the corridor crying and the parents are asleep and cannot hear them!0
