How many people can I have in a hotel room?|147800

I am attending in July the CPL (a video game tournament). I am on a team of 5 (including me) and we are going to book a hotel room. To save money, we want to know if we could just say _1 adult_ instead of 5.

Would this be allowed if people were on good behavior and brought sleeping bags?

Thanks!

  • it depends, some hotels charge more per person, some don_t. you would be able to get away with saying 1 or 2 adults and getting everyone else in. especially if you have the do not disturb sign on. usually you are allowed 4 in a room with 2 double beds. the chain i work for doesn_t charge extra per person. a place like motel 6 does, but then they don_t have internet.

    about the housekeeping issue, definitely explain to management to communicate with housekeeping that youi guys are there for the cpl and tell them that you keep extremely important equipment in there and that you do not under any circumstances want anyone else in the room. keep the do not disturb sign in at all times and they will communicate the importance of that to housekeeping. that way you guys have an understanding, as well as the hotel. (and it_s a cover for hiding the fact that 5 are in the room).

    on a more personal note, good luck at your CPL. my roommate has been to a few way back in the beginning, and they are awesome. he_s starting to get back into it. i give you mad props for going!

  • Usually it is two adults only...believe me they have you guys on video tape..they know who is coming and going and will charge accordingly.

  • Typically it is up to the individual hotel. A high priced hotel might not even notice who is coming and going. A low price budget hotel will really know what is up and a moderate price hotel usually won_t care. However, there are rules per state and it is good to check the back of the door upon checking in. If the manager wants to be a stickler, they can charge you the RACK rate, which is the highest amount allowable by law.

    Happy travels.

  • Maximum occupancy is usually four; technically, sleeping bags are not allowed. You can try your strategy, but if you get caught, you can get kicked out. I_d suggest saying two or three, and being on REALLY good behavior so that nobody has occasion to check your room. Better to pay a LITTLE more than to risk getting tossed out on your ear.

    If you use sleeping bags, be SURE TO ROLL THEM UP BEFORE THE MAIDS COME IN!!!!!

  • No, most hotels have a limit on how many people can stay in a hotel room because of fire codes. To pack more people into a room than is allowed would be technically going against the law. If you have a big group but don_t want to be separated from one another, maybe you can consider getting an adjoining room (you know, the kind of rooms that have an interior door in the room that connects your room and another room together). Hope this helps! :)

    PS:
    If you think about sneaking people in anyways, consider this--most hotels have video cameras posted all around the premises in the hallways....so they would be able to see how many people are coming in/out of your room and catch onto it anyways. Not worth getting caught.

  • If they found out, you_d have to pay extra for the extra people. I think it_s an additional $$ over 2 people.

    As for the sleeping bags, I would rethink putting a sleeping bag on the floor of a hotel room. Take a blacklight and you_ll see why...

  • Normally, if you_re going to rent a room with 1 bed, you can have 2 people in the room, and if you rent a room with 2 beds, you can have up to 4. If you have more than that, you normally have to pay a fee (it_s like $10 per person...usually). I think you should just say there are going to be 2 people in the room. The only way this could hurt you is if you sign a _no party_ contract when you check in (it will give you specifics like no more than 2 people in the room...or whatever) If you sign that, and have more than two, the hotel can kick you out.

    But other than that, I wouldn_t worry about it at all. Most front desk agents rarely realise how many people are in the rooms, and if they do realise, they normally won_t go through the hassle of evicting you for it. Just be quiet, and don_t give them any reason to suspect anything (like a party).

  • Housekeeping will notice all the extra sleeping bags and the use of multiple towels. They are required to report it.

  • tell them two and then if they ask about the people in your room tell them that they are just friends visiting you well you are here or just go some place that has big suites

  • Most hotel rooms are considered doubles (it will have two double or queen size beds in it). So, get a double that technically sleeps 4 and then just one person has to sleep on the floor. The hotel, by law, needs to know how many people are going to be staying in the room in case of fire and emergencies. Some hotels will charge slightly more for the room because you_ll need more housekeeping and linens but other hotels won_t so call around and find a place that will accommodate your group.

  • Just say 2 adults. and sneak everybody else in. Otherwise they would charge you.
  • What are some memorable things to do in the Kentucky area?|113127

    My husband ships to basic in October, and I want him to have a lot of good memories of Kentucky (where we met/currently living).

    We_ve already planned the louisville zoo, mammoth cave touring weekend, Holiday World, and Speed Art Museum.

    Now we_re wanting to know some more ideas of things to do that we haven_t thought of yet... Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

  • mammoth cave
    kentucky kingdom (six flags park)
    bourbon trail! _fun thing to visit all the distilleries in the region!
    louisville zoo, or a weekend night trip to 2nd and jefferson, same difference.
    the corvette factory tour in bowling green
    newport aquarium - but the Ripley_s Aquarium in Gatlinburg is much better.

    he will get his fill of this, but I enjoy the Patton Museam in Radcliff/Ft Knox

  • There are alot of historical sites in Lexington. Mammoth cave, there are alot of wineries

  • Farmington, built in 1815-1816, is a house designed by Thomas Jefferson for the Speed family. Joshua Speed was a close friend of Abraham Lincoln_s. Abraham Lincoln visited Farmington in 1841 and made Joshua Speed_s older brother James his Attorney General in 1864.

    Locust Grove was the last home of General George Rogers Clark. George Rogers Clark was the founder of Louisville, a Revolutionary war hero, and the older brother of William Clark of the Lewis _ Clark pair who explored the western United States.

    The Frazier International History Museum features a collection of the British Royal Armouries, the first time a UK National Museum has opened a ��branch�� in the USA.

    The Rauch Planetarium and Gheens Science Hall, located on the Belknap Campus of the University of Louisville, has several interesting shows. The planetarium is now featuring a new show _The Planets_ which provides an in-depth look at each planet and uses current images from NASA missions with viewers feeling they are traveling through space as each planet is explored.

    The Steamboat the Belle Of Louisville has cruises on the Ohio River. No other river steamboat in American history has lasted as long, been to as many places, or traveled as many miles as the Belle of Louisville. It can feel as if you are taking a step back in time.

    The Louisville Slugger museum shows the history of the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat, made since 1884. A current exhibit highlights baseballs signed by US Presidents. There is also the local Baseball Team of the Louisville Bats who play in Louisville Slugger Field on the Ohio River near downtown.

    The Kentucky Derby Museum gives you a first hand look at the _greatest two minutes in sports,_ an event for which Louisville and Kentucky are known worldwide. The Greatest Race, a multi-image show on a 360 degree screen in the shape of a track, gives an overview of the life of a Derby horse from foal to winner_s circle on Derby Day.

    Fort Knox, home to the United States Bullion Depository, also has The General George Patton Museum. The Museum is administered by the U.S. Army Armor Center, Fort Knox, and is one of the largest in the U.S. Army Museum System. Unfortunately, you can_t get too close to the building holding the gold and they do not let you take samples home.

    The birthplace of Abraham Lincoln is in Hodgenville and features 116 acres of Thomas Lincoln_s Sinking Spring Farm. An early 19th century Kentucky cabin (which is not actually Lincoln_s boyhood home) is enshrined inside the Memorial Building at the site of his birth. The site also includes the Sinking Spring, site of the Boundary Oak tree and other reminders of the Nation_s 16th President_s beginnings.
