[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many hotels will not allow it once the youngest is beyond the toddler stage.  It has to do with maximum occupancy limits per room.[/quote]

Op again. As I said this is the part I find surprising. We stayed in hotels and motels all over the country, till well into my teen years, and I don't ever remember this being an issue. Maybe the places we stayed weren't upscale enough![/quote]

NP.  Yep, me too!  I'm the oldest of three and we always only had one room.  Always.  True, we were staying at lots of Best Westerns, Days Inns and Knights Inns.  Holiday Inns were considered a "splurge".  But still, always only one room for the 5 of us, all throughout childhood, even when the youngest was 12.  (By that time, I was 18 and not going on cross country family vacation road trips any longer.)  We had a rotation of which kid got to sleep on the "rollaway" bed that always seemed to sag in the middle.  Was it comfortable and luxurious?  Heck no.  But having 3 kids was no reason to stay home.

I just recently had my third, and I am certainly not going to get a second hotel room.  If that were the case, we would only be able to travel every 3 years or so.  I'd rather travel a little cramped than not travel at all.[/quote]

Until my last growth spurt, all three kids slept in the same queen size bed.  We knew that if we argued or fussed, we would all get separate corners in the room, no cushioning between us and the floor, only a pillow and a sheet/blanket.  It wasn't a big deal, we got through it without issues.[/quote]
