What are the rules on rooms with 3 kids please? Are there really any rules???

[PeasForTeaAgain]

Can anyone help with room occupancy "rules" IE the rubbish they tell you about health and safety and why you can only have 1 cot in a room but not 2 (can you go nowhere with twins?) and 1 adult and 3 kids is fine but not 2 adults and 3 kids even though its technically less safe?? Are there any ACTUAL rules or is it all just money making rubbish?!!! I have 3 kids and other than smuggling the baby into the Travelodge or buying a tent I am clearly done for...

Hi Peas

I don't think it is a case of 'rules' it is a case of policy. They are allowed to dictate the terms, and you either agree or don't go there.

you must be right. but i cant find anywhere that will let us all stay. woe is me

Some hotels will say fire regs dictate occupancy for the rooms they have as a way of squeezing as many people in as they can.

Hotels that offer family rooms are generally open to the idea of 2 adults 2-3 children.

Sometimes their idea of a 'family room' is two rooms that interconnect, that theoretically you're supposed to have one adult in each room sharing with the children - but it varies and theres no standard anywhere.
