what is

Former front desk employee here. If you want certainty, the advice about the suite is the best. For connecting rooms, you make a note in the reservation (which you make directly with the hotel not a service) either by phone or online. The day of arrival you call the hotel in the morning as they will be going through the day's reservations looking for special requests, checkouts, room blocks and the like and you ask again about the possibility. Ask for the shift manager, ask to have your rooms pre-blocked.

Hotel will never guarantee, so try booking a suite.

No.

OP here. I wasn't 19 04. Do any travel search engine sites allow to specify connecting rooms if you choose 2 rooms (like Expedia, etc)

Thanks for the advice above.

Yep - we've never had luck with connecting rooms.

Not OP, but once my youngest was four she was allowed to sleep in the kids room (I have four kids, so they get two queen beds and a pullout couch.)

Once the two oldest were 7 and 4, we kicked them into their own room.

Ours stay with us in our room. How old are your kids?

No. It gives me a room with two queens usually.

Did you select 2 rooms or just 2 adults and 2 children? I've had options of adjacent rooms when I explicitly specified 2 rooms. Not everywhere, but I'm pretty sure that marriott.com (we normally stay in Marriott properties) does this.

We used to do this all the time. Call the hotel directly and they'll take care of it.

I've found that you have to call, but often the hotel will not guarantee connecting rooms.

We have 2 kids. They are older now, so i prefer connecting rooms. How do you find these rooms? Are they listed in search engines, or do I have to look on a hotel's website or do I need to contact a hotel to find out?
