4 Kids And A Hotel
Lessons from traveling with kids.
To find a place to stay I first went online to see what hotels offered suites where 6 people could stay. I didn't want to get 2 hotel rooms because the cost of 2 rooms would typically be more expensive then a suite that could accomodate 6 people. It would also mean that my wife and I would need to split up between the rooms to keep an eye on the kids. I first went to Travelocity to see what they had. Travelocity had a dropdown box asking how many kids and adults I needed a room for. After filling in the options they gave me a good selection of rooms that could accomodate 6 people. However, none of them were close enough to where my wife wanted to stay. I then went to Expedia and Orbitz. Both of those sites also had dropdown boxes for the number of adults and kids, but they returned results of hotels that clearly could not handle 6 people. So if you need a travel search that can handle larger families, Travelocity is the better one to use.

I also think travelocity is the best location for finding these types of hotels, but even they many times will bring up a list of hotels, and then state that "no rooms matching your search criteria".
So, if you have a family of 6 (4 kids and 2 adults) and don't wish to sleep in a separate room from you wife, it takes a lot of work to figure out where to stay.
AmeriSuites has done me well in the past.
