[quote=Anonymous]I've found that when you book for hotels, they count 3 people fitting on a king size bed and sorry, that is not working for our family.  DH and I always get a King.  Our kids of opposite genders who are teens do not share a bed so we're looking at 2 Q or they can do 2 Twins/full.  So the hotel would count Q as 2 people.  So 5 people = 1 K + 1Q but in reality, for the 4 of us, we're looking at:  1 K + 1Q/F/T + 1 Q/T/F which really means we're booking at least for 5 if not 7.  It sucks.

But we don't really care if we split up - we went down to Miami when the kids were 12 and 14 and they shared a room with 2 fulls and we were in another area with a king.  It was actually separate buildings but our kids are old enough they were fine.  We take away all their electronics, they know they can reach us with the hotel phones and we take away the TV remote too ;)  We stayed there for 5 nights and it was not a problem.

We all split room/they shared sofa bed until about 6 and 8 maybe and then it really was time for separation.

I cannot imagine if you were a family of 5 or 6 - not sure how you don't just avoid hotels and book airbnb/vrbo?  We never were a family that could share 2Q or 2K in the same room.  DH snores and DD categorically will not sleep in the same room.  I understand but it def makes travelling $$$$ :([/quote]
