She's never liked her travel crib :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332236 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:14:02 +0000 BoogieBea 1332236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they were younger, they slept in travel cribs. We'd hide in the bathroom until they fall asleep and the come back out. We won't be able to lounge around or anything. We just end up both browsing our phones and whatnot. Now that they're older. They sleep in bed with us. The sucky part is that we have to sleep in separate beds, one with each kid, because they'll keep each other up otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332212 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:06:07 +0000 lawbee11 1332212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Best travel website ever. DH and I went to London on our honeymoon and we booked our hotel through the UK travelzoo and we got the most amazing hotel room for dirt cheap!! </p> <p>@Bookish: I've booked NYC hotels through travelzoo twice and both times the hotels were awesome and I could've never afforded them otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332206 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:05:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1332206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd check out air bnb!</p> <p>but when we stay in a hotel, we turn on loud white noise. seriously we have three different sources. we've slept in the same hotel room with two kids with two different bedtimes many times before and have never had a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332151 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:52:49 +0000 Bookish 1332151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: @lawbee11: Um HOLY COW how have I never found this site before?!?! </p> <p>THANKS!!! I'm all over this, haha</p> <p>ETA just found a suite for 200$ at a hotel I was looking at before. :happy dance: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332143 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:51:23 +0000 lawbee11 1332143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Usually their deals are for stays that are in the pretty near future, so you'll be able to get better May deals in a month or two (I think most of their deals now are good through March). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332128 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:49:24 +0000 HabesBabe 1332128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Oh boo :(</p> <p>Edit: @Lawbee11: I love Travelzoo! We booked our honeymoon and baby-making trip to Hawaii using deals we found on their Top 20! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332122 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:48:33 +0000 Bookish 1332122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: oh wow, no I hadn't! Thanks, I'm going to check that out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332113 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:47:14 +0000 lawbee11 1332113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's no way we could afford two hotel rooms in NYC. But we also probably wouldn't let her sleep in the bed with us. I would just be nervous that that would become her preference and we'd have difficulties getting her back in her crib once we returned home (she's never co-bedded with us, though). So we'd have her sleep in a PNP/travel crib. Have you checked travelzoo.com? My absolute favorite website for booking hotels, and they always have great NYC deals! </p> <p><a href="http://www.travelzoo.com/hotels/new-york/?tz_cs=HPV1" rel="nofollow">http://www.travelzoo.com/hotels/new-york/?tz_cs=HPV1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332112 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:47:00 +0000 Alivoo01 1332112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get a room with two double/queen beds so that DS gets his own bed. We're fortunate that noise doesn't bother him so we can watch TV, talk, flush the toilet, shower, etc. without waking him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332082 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:42:29 +0000 Bookish 1332082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mjane: @HabesBabe: I don't think I could get DH to go for something I found on AirBnB, unfortunately :( He's a nervous traveler in the best of situations... dude needs his chain hotels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332029 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:32:47 +0000 HabesBabe 1332029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: good luck! LO HATES sharing a bed with us (which blows, especially when she wakes up at 5am sometimes... "come and snuggle with us, baby." cue shrieks and cries and wiggles) so we've always had to get a secondary space. I think @Mrs. Wagon and Wagon Sr. have gotten normal rooms before, but will bring their laptop into the bathroom to stream a movie or something. Like @Beehive:'s LO, C will not stay asleep if we watch TV or if we're in the room with her-- she'll perk up and want to play :)</p> <p>@mjane: AirBnB has been a lifesaver for us! And like you said, it helps cut down the food costs, too. It's even nice to have a microwave or something just to heat up food or a bottle of milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332025 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:32:20 +0000 sunny 1332025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just kept her up a little later and we went to bed early or did something quiet like read with a small light when we stayed in 1 room.</p> <p>In a few hotels we were able to get a larger room and stash her crib out of the line of sight so she wouldn't realize we were still there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1332013 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:28:56 +0000 mjane 1332013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: yeah, we've pretty much given up on hotel rooms. She sleeps lightly and wakes a lot if we're in the room with her, and she wakes me up. We liked airbnb before but now we're total converts--you can get REALLY nice places for much less than hotel rooms, and it's nice to be able to not have every meal in a restaurant with a baby. </p> <p>(The only time a hotel room even remotely worked for us was when we had a deck to sit on after she went to bed.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331950 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:14:28 +0000 knittylady 1331950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried VRBO? I haven't seen what it's like in the city, but theres potential there for separate space for less $$... At least it's like that in other cities! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331944 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:13:04 +0000 Bookish 1331944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Right now she will fall back asleep with us in the morning...but this is 5 months from now, so who knows!! </p> <p>@HabesBabe: SO expensive! haha! </p> <p>I think I'm going to convince DH that the world will not end if she doesn't have her own space.. it's significantly cheaper and honestly... we probably will be heading to bed not long after her, after a tiring day of travel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331851 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:53:32 +0000 Beehive 1331851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have done suites with LO in his travel crib. He's not a deep enough sleeper not to be bothered by noise and light from DH and me being awake after he goes to bed.</p> <p>ETA - I don't think LO would ever be able to sleep in our bed - he sees big bed as party time, so that wouldn't work for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331843 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:52:20 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1331843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They sleep with us. When we only had one LO I would try to get a king bed and LO slept in the middle. Now with two we get two double beds and each of us gets a kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331824 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:48:48 +0000 Elderberrygin 1331824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a suite with a separate bedroom and lounge/kitchen and it was great. The time before that we had a very large closet that we put the crib in (it had louvered doors so the air circulated fine). Not sure the latter solution would work now she's older, but it worked fine at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331818 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:47:04 +0000 HabesBabe 1331818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gotten suites for hotel rooms (I search Priceline or other travel sites for deals because suites are expensive!). I can only imagine how much a suite costs in Manhattan!</p> <p>Lately, we've been renting a house/apt on AirBnB.com so we have a full living space and some cooking space, too. Most of the places we've gotten on AirBnB are cheaper than a hotel suite in the same city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331814 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:45:49 +0000 Bookish 1331814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'all have no idea how much your answers are helping!

We had one room, and I brought her travel crib with us, but we ended up co-sleeping. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331661 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:15:19 +0000 mrsjyw 1331661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always done the two room route and DS has slept like he does at home. The freedom of being able to hang out after DS goes down is worth the $$ for us. He's a light sleeper and would wake up if we had only one room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-stay-in-a-hotel-with-los-where-do-they-sleep#post-1331651 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:14:04 +0000 Bookish 1331651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are taking LO with us to NYC in May (was March, but we want more time to save up!).</p> <p>I was trying to find us a decently priced suite (with a dividing door/partition between the living room and bedroom) so that LO can have her own space and DH and I can have a place to watch TV and hang out after she goes to bed at 7.</p> <p>Problem is...NYC is expensive!! Duh! So, my question is, when you are in a hotel with your LO, how do your sleeping arrangements work? Do you get a suite or divided room, or have them right there in the room? I'd really like to save some money and just get us one room... but I'm worried that we'll keep her up/she'll keep us up.</p> <p>Thoughts? Experiences? </p>
