Reply To: 5 for 4, travelling with four

“all seem to be entry level rooms that don’t tend to fit all four of us (kids most certainly won’t share a bed or foldout sofa).”

Mine are at the same stage. Time to accept that your days of fitting into one hotel room are over (until they leave home anyway :D) This is where Hilton guaranteed interconnected rooms is extremely useful. Even modest interconnected rooms (1 double, 1 twin) are substantially more space and far better in this situation than all but the most Presidential of suites – I’m sure you’d rather have the option to close the door and have some, ahem, ‘private you and me time’ with Mrs phantomchickenz at some stage, than share even the most enormous room with the whole family all trip.

Plenty of decent properties still have base rooms at 50-60k/night even these days, so add in 5-for-4 and you’re still at or under 100k/night with every member of the family much happier.
