For those of you with larger families (>4) how do you book your hotels? Do you do two rooms?

We are a family of five and trying to decide if we can make a 4 occupant room work so we can book fully with points or if we need to change plans or pay cash for a larger room. We are not seeing much in terms of larger rooms for points.

We do two rooms typically. Or pay cash for a larger room/ suite

Depends on age of family members. 2 rooms that connect with a door between if teenagers and up. If 2 adults and 3 small kids, my family did one room with at a pull out couch and either a king or two queen beds. I loved sleeping on the pull out couch with my siblings when we were young.

For one night, 5 of us will pile into one room with two double beds. My kids once fought over who got to sleep in the closet, now a fond vacation memory. Longer than a night, two adjacent rooms should do it.

uplifting

We (family of five) always book two and even sometimes three if the rooms are small and my husband’s snoring has been particularly bad recently.

5 people in 1 room? Noo

5 people with one bathroom would be hard.

We were 6 and it'd be 1 room while two of us slept on the floor/sofabed. I thought that was normal for the longest time until college :" lol
