You want to have five people in a tiny NYC hotel room?! OP you're going to be miserable on your vacation (and it's "vacation" not "vacay" - you're an adult, use your adult words). |

So many hotels have rooms with 2 queens and a pull out couch. That's what we do. Use booking.com to find them as they list the room configuration. But book via the hotel's website as Booking.com will sometimes screw you over!
Our favorite family chains: - Springfield Suites - Home 2 - Aloft - Holiday Inn Express And more...the newer chains tend to be cleaner and more up to date. |

We got a 4 person suite at the Manhattan Club - perhaps they have larger ones there? I agree 5 is a tough number. |

| there is a hotel across the street from penn statino that has suites that take 5 not too expensive, i forget the name - also the kimpton chain has relatively affordable suites - now have 3 teens and squeezing in the baby doesn't work anymore - they are all taller than me |

According to DCUM, anything less than a 2br suite for a family and you may as well not even vacation.
(Yes we book hotels that sleep 5 in one room on a budget.) |

Give me an effing break. It’s not about fire code, and even if it were, they’ll be faster than the 400 pounder in a wheelchair. |

| We don’t always book two hotel rooms, but now that our oldest is a teen, we book two cruise cabins. The cost is comparable than one of the rooms that can sleep five or six. |

This. And even when you do check in, I promise you, they don’t care at the desk. |

| I am in favor of 5 in a room as a family but my DH is a rule follower and was constantly convinced we would be kicked out on the street in the middle of hte night so I got very adept at finding bargains that fit 5 - they are there you just need to keep looking - if you don't want to sneak the baby in |

| Edison Hotel NYC lets you book adjoining rooms. |

| If you are booking a package it’s hard to get around the 4 person per room maximum. Even on Costco travel our family of 4 has to book 2 rooms for European travel because a lot of their available hotels dont house 4 people . |

Adding…. And since you have to select four people for the flight, they assume that the four people need to sleep as well |
