Skittles asked:
Why is it that in searches for hotels, you have to have adults to be able to enter kids, but ive stayed in a hotel room without any adults in that room . How do you know if the hotel allows that?

Also, I know hotels will let you use cots so you can all stay in on room, whats the limit of people to a room?

Depends on the bed count. If it’s 1 king bed the max is 2 people and 1 with cot = 3. If it’s 2 queen beds then 2 people per bed and 1 with the cot = 5.

I’ve worked in hotels for seven years and I’m pretty sure most are the same. You are legally supposed to have an adult in a room. Some hotels the age to get a room is 18, others it’s 21. I know sometimes parents will get a seperate room for the kids. That’s fine as long as they’re not trouble. The reason you have to enter in a number of adults (besides what I just said) is just because that’s how hotel computer systems are set up.
As far as the limit to the number of people in a room, you have to ask the individual hotel that. There are fire codes that come into play and it all depends on the size of the room.

Almost every hotel has an official policy that says at least one adult must be in each room. In some states there are laws that require this About the only official exception is for school groups, where adults agree to supervise blocks of rooms.
Not all hotels enforce the adult requirement. Some will let anyone register–no questions asked and no ID required. Even in those that do officially enforce the rules, many people will book more than one room, officially in the name of adults. When they arrive, however, the adults will stay in one room and the kids in another.
In addition to the laws and policies, many hotels ask the number of adults because they price rooms by the number of adult occupants. Kids are often free, but adults are charged per person.
Several hotels specifically say the maximum number allowed per room. (Choice Hotels–Comfort/Sleep/Quality/Clarion, for example, puts this information beside every available room on their website.) In those that don’t, you can assume 2 per bed in the room. If cots or rollaways are available, generally an additional 1 person per room would be permitted. Again, though, many people violate this policy. That’s particularly true in the case of families with numerous children, where a large group may end up sharing a single room.
One suggestion if you are considering cramming lots of people into a room. Have any extra occupants use a side entrance, rather than walking past the desk. Also, don’t try to get a free breakfast (or similar amenities) for everyone. If you’re paying for two people, that’s the number of extras you are entitled to.
