[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way, wouldn't do it. What if the fire alarm goes off? Or one or all 3 leave the room and get locked out? What if someone gets injured? Staying in a hotel is totally different and riskier than leaving them at home.[/quote]

Fire alarm: They would leave the room.
Locked out: the 13 year old would talk to someone at the front desk and get let back into the room.

Worst case, 13 year old calls parents. It's fine.[/quote]

If I was working at a hotel front desk and 13 year old came to me with a 5 year old in tow, telling me he was locked out of the room and his parents were both off premesis at a show, I would call the police.   Most hotels have a policy that minors under 18 can not be left alone in a room.[/quote]

So I can never leave my 15-16 or 17-year-old alone in a hotel room in case he gets locked out and some nosy manager reports me to the police?

Come on. My kid has been getting his own hotel room since he turned 12. No way am I sharing a room with him?.

A 13-year-old is more than responsible enough to hang out in the hotel room for 3 hours.

When my son was 11, We were down at the pool while he stayed in the room to take a shower and get dressed for dinner

The fire alarm went off. We met outside of the giant resort where we agreed to meet in case something happened.

He also knows not to answer the door to anyone. If it's housekeeping, the answer always is:  My mom is in the shower. No thank you.

I would not even address the insane idea that someone is going to break into your room and steal or assault your kids. [/quote]
