Hotel Stay W/ a Noisy Baby

I've been on both sides of this scenario.

I'd inquire with the hotel direct and let them know your concern... that way if they do have openings, they won't book people right beside you. The last thing you want is to have them call management on you for a noise complaint. At least let the hotel know that you're traveling with a small child and there's a chance she will cry during the night and you wanted to make sure the room you were putting her in was far away from other rooms/occupants.

I'd do what the previous post stated however, and try to keep your routine as simple as... well and as "routine" as possible...

We took both of ours with us around that age -- the first time it was just my daughter at 11 months, the second time she was 3 and our son was around 13 months.
In our experiences, the first couple days away are rough, (so we make a few concessions), but after that they fall back into regular routines pretty well. Having her own room will really help. When we had just our daughter we were in a two-bedroom cottage, so we just set her playpen up in the second room and put her to bed just like we did at home.
I'd say that if you're not bothered, keep your routine as much as possible. It will likely make for a more enjoyable vacation for all of you. Chance are that if someone complains, the hotel won't say anything to you guys, but maybe the complainer will move to a different room!

I would call the hotel directly and at least try to get a corner room. That way you only have the chance of having guests on one side. Also, in a hotel, people have to expect that there will be disturbances...I would try to stick to your routine as much as possible. Best of luck...

I agree with everyone else, ask for a corner room on the bottom floor. We've stayed in so many hotel rooms and I cannot even think of how many times we had a phone call from the front desk, or people beating on the walls. I get so irriated when that happens and think of how rude people are in this world. Kids will be kids, they will cry, scream, jump up and down, etc. So, get a corner room, put the crib next to the wall that nobody is againt. We even had to move the couch in the room one time in order to move the crib over there. My kids are now 4 and 2, and we have even MORE problems now with them being quite. lol

Good luck, and don't stress about it. Enjoy your vacation and ignore people at the hotel. :)

Dr. Sears advice may be of some help. See below:

Maybe you could put her in bed with you until she goes to sleep, and then move her?

Best of luck,

is it possible to request a room that has a vacant room next to it?
It could be a issue of the baby not knowing exactly where she is and you 2 are her comfort.
If you choose to let her cry it out, you might let the hotel know or ask them if there is a room at the end of a hallway with a vacant room next door ( if they are willing to do so)... or if you have the money to spend.. renting 2 rooms?
When we took vacations we often would rent 2 rooms, one for the kids and one for us, but I dont think it was until they were 2 or so
I hope you guys have a great vacation!
