[quote=Anonymous]I often just forget to enter "3" in the box when I'm searching for hotel rooms. I often use hotels.com to book and they generally default to double occupancy. A lot of individual hotels do this too. Often I'm just looking to get a feel for prices or come up with options for us to decide among and then wind up booking in the same session and don't think to go back and change it. It's never been an issue.

However I generally do look to see what the occupancy rules are for any room I might book. This is as much for our comfort as anything else. We used to book rooms with one king because when DD was a toddler the three of us would fit in a king really comfortably. Now we prefer two queens. The vast majority of hotels will view rooms like this as allowing 3-4 people but I always double check because I don't want to wind up trying to cram the three of us into a queen or something.

When we travel in europe I always make sure to be specific about room occupancy but again this is for our benefit -- european hotel rooms tend to be smaller and especially to have smaller beds. Also a lot of European hotel chains offer "family" rooms which are great -- when we traveled through Scandinavia last year all our rooms had a special bed set up for our daughter. It was very comfortable for everyone.[/quote]
