1. Free Amenities.
The
key word here is “free.” When scoping out a hotel or motel, look for
features like a designated children’s play area, free access to local
parks, kiddie pools (with lifeguard!), “kids eat free” offers, child
care serices, child-proofing kits, etc.
Hotels/Motels to Note:
- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts runs a .I.K. (ery Important Kids)
program that offers goody bags for children. giveaways include ideo
games, toys, children’s movies and baby supplies.
- Hyatt offers their isiting kids a welcome pack, complete with a free
cap. A few locations also feature “Camp Hyatt,” a free, superised
children’s program.
- Radisson has introduced the Family Magic program, which includes free
breakfasts for the family, a discounted adjoining room and free magic
trick booklets for kids.
2. Equipment for Rent.
Try as
you may, you just can’t take your home on the road. You’re going to find
yourself in situations where you need a crib, a playpen, a rollaway bed,
etc. When booking your room, first ask if these items are offered. If
so, find out if they’re complimentary or come with a fee.
Hotels/Motels to Note:
Radisson offers child-care serices, cribs, childproofing kits, books,
games and ideos through their “Family Approed” program.
Safety Measures
1. Your Room.
When
you first arrie, do a quick check of the room. Are the balcony doors
locked? Can a child easily open the windows? Are any cords hanging from
the blinds or drapes? What about the outlets? Are they in good shape?
Easy for a child to access? It’s a good idea to pack your own outlet
covers, as most hotels don’t childproof their rooms.
Hotels/Motels to Note:
- Doubletree offers “Family-Friendly Suites” that are baby and
childproofed and are stocked with emergency baby supplies.
- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts will childproof your room upon
request.
- Westin hotels give children gifts – and parents safety kits – at
check-in.
2. Tour The Hotel With Your Child.
This is one of the best ways to help your child become
more familiar – and comfortable - with the surroundings. Introduce him
or her to the hotel staff at the front desk. In the event of an
emergency or problem, your child will know where to go, and who to ask
for help. Walk to the pool and go through the swimming safety rules. On
the way back to your room, point out the stairways, exits and fire
extinguishers, as well as the most direct route to the lobby.
