Vacations are expensive. Childcare is expensive. You are right. But if families that are going to 5 star hotels for vacation have to be cutting corners to save money and cheapening on the childcare then it means they cannot afford said vacations. Either Vacation in a different place or take care of your children yourselves, hire a local sitter for your night outs on vacation, etc. 
The only way this would have been reasonable is like a pp mentioned earlier and it makes much more sense. That they booked this vacation a long time ago and later decided to bring someone and the hotel is fully booked, hence the need of a different hotel.

or like most Corporate workers who travel- they accumulate a ton of hotel points from business travel during the year, and use all those points to go on a 1 week vacation/year at the 5 star hotel.  That's how over 20 of my working friends manage to take a nice vacation every year.  They are not paying/can't afford $600/night for a hotel room, and don't have enough points to book an extra hotel room for the nanny.  
And yes, I routinely fly Coach while my boss flies first class, and stay in 3 star hotel, while he stays at the Ritz or Peninsula.  
So, I am shocked that a nanny would be "offended" to have to stay at a more reasonable nearby hotel/motel.  It's a job. Get over it.  (However, meals and transportation should be paid for, just like they are for corporate travel- and you should tell your employer that)[/quote]
Wow really? I ALWAYS stay in the same property as my boss. Demeaning. [/quote]
