Hotel sleepover

[Anonymous]

Don't hog the pool.

I went to a party like this in middle school. There were 4 of us. We went to the pool, ate pizza, and watched a movie. It was like a glorified sleepover with a pool in the middle of winter. parents had the adjoining room. The hotel was geared for business travelers- pretty empty on a Friday or Saturday night.

+1, I’m sorry but this has total creeper vibes

We saw a slumber party last time we went to Great Wolf Lodge and it seemed so fun. Otherwise it definitely seems a little weird. Is there a reason you can’t have it at home? You could go to a county indoor pool if you desperately wanted to swim.

The rooms won’t adjoin with a a door between them, or they are across the hall. I don’t want to sleep in the same room as a bunch of kids.

Agree, really curious how many kids/ what you are envisioning for the sleeping arrangements as it seems that would be a major issue.

maybe OP has a dog, or lives in an intergenerational home, or uses the living room as an office. I wouldn't do anything loud in a hotel. But if taking a small group of kids that you know well, I would be okay with a hotel. Pool parties do make me nervous in general, so I might wait until the kids are a little older unless I knew they could swim. or the hotel pool was shallow.

I could see somewhere like an Embassy Suites working for this.

My kid was invited to a hotel sleepover and I didn't let her sleepover. She went for the pool and pizza and then she left.

I find it odd that so many people think hotel sleepovers are weird. I had them when I was a kid and I'm in my 40s. They are really popular with middle school kids here and it's a nice option when you don't want kids at your house and you get the benefit of an indoor pool. Most people get suites with adjoining rooms and there's more than enough space. As a parent, I actually feel a bit more comfy with a hotel sleepover than one at a home because you're less likely to be dealing with the worry of guns/drugs/alcohol or additional family members that could pose abuse risks.

I wouldn’t let a kid be in a hotel room alone. No lifeguard at the pool.

For an 8/9 year old? I feel like middle school would be a little better but still not my first choice.

I think this is better for older kids too. but also don't see the problem with a hotel room.

Please don't do this. There was a terrible story about this such scenario at our school. A very bad thing happened at the hotel.
