[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is fire safety for the hotel. If there's a fire, how fast can they herd how many people out of the hotel?  And, when the firefighters say "Is everyone out?" if you snuck someone in, the hotel will say yes even if one of your kids is not counted for, because you booked for two kids when really there were three.

You think they are not going to allow everyone to leave the hotel if there's a fire? Nobody is going to be looking at the ledger trying to account for adults and children. Everybody who can leave will leave.[/quote]

Oh my god, NO!  What I'm saying is that the hotel can't make sure everyone is out if they don't know all the people they're trying to account for. [/quote]
In case of a fire, the fire department will search every single room and will not rely on the hotel's records.[/quote]

+1  Unfortunately, I can confirm from personal experience.  We were in a very nice hotel that had a small fire break out in one of the ballrooms / kitchens at about 1:30 am.  We all evacuated.  The fire department absolutely did begin to do a room-by-room check before they gave the all clear and the hotel folks, including the manager, were out in the pool area with us.  The fire department did not want [i]anyone[/i] in the hotel, including the hotel staff.  The night staff was too busy escorting us all to the pool and parking areas to do anything other than that.  No one ran off a list for the fire department.  I know because the manager was over by me because I was alone with 4 little ones and the manager was fussing at his one of his staff to make sure my kids were okay/warm/not crying.  In the end it all worked out but it was really, really scary.[/quote]

We are a family of six. We had squeezed into one room. Some jerk pulled the fire alarm and the hotel was evacuated in the middle of the night. There's no protocol. Most folks got in their cars to wait for the all clear. We actually drove to McDonald's so our kids could use the restroom. The trucks were gone when we returned, and we walked in the lobby and went back to our room.

Squeezing a baby in isn't an issue. [/quote]
