That's specifically what I was replying to.
I live(and rent) in a city that is tourist based and less affordable because of airb&b and the like. It has a vacancy rate of under 1%. So i completely understand what you're saying. I just disagree that the market for staying somewhere worked well before airb&b.
- StavrosK 8y agoOh, I see. Maybe, I don't really have experience with traveling with a family.
- soperj 8y agoIf you have 3 children, you have to rent two hotel rooms. Also when your kids bedtime is 7:30, having 1 room with two beds just sucks.
- jessaustin 8y agoThis really depends on the family. I had 3 siblings and we traveled a lot. When we no longer all fit on the same bed, I got a folded-up blanket on the floor. Eventually my sister decided she would rather have the floor. My brothers are awful to sleep with...
- soperj 8y agoThey normally force you to buy 2 rooms now, that didn't used to be the case.
- jessaustin 8y agoThey've always frowned on it. We had a regular procedure called "heads down!" in which all children or occasionally just three of us would duck down so as not to be visible in the car from the window of the motel office. When my brothers and I travel together now we still do it (mostly) as a joke. Having stayed in a motel a lot over the last month, I'm pretty confident most parents could get 4-5 kids into most hotel rooms without management being the wiser.
- fjsolwmv 8y agoNormally where? I've never had a problem getting 5 to a room with a small fee and an extra cot provided.
