Kids need a hotel too! Groople has parents of kids ask all the time for kid-friendly hotel rooms and kid friendly-hotel deals. Fear not for your Group Scoop gumshoe has ferreted out some exciting deals for families with kids:
Holiday Inn- has “Kids Suite” a nook that includes bunk beds and room to play and free meals for kids under 12
Hyatt- has “Family Plan” pricing that allows parents too book a second room for the kids at ½ price
Westin- has “Kids Club” which includes a kids cup with a beverage of choice at check-in, a bedtime story call-in line, and a safety kit for parents to make the room child proof
Loews Hotels- has “Loews Loves Kids” program that is a lending library of DVDs, games, and even necessities like cribs
Omni- has “Sensational Kids” program that treats kids to a four star experience including fun things like suitcases full of games
Remember, outside of kid-centric programs at hotels, other good advice for traveling with kids: swimming pool (as a kid might say, “duh”!) a hotel near a park, hotels with kitchenettes to save money and make kid favorites like grilled cheese sandwiches, and hotels with nearby attractions with-in walking distance (to make going out for fun less of a production).
Its not easy to take kids on vacation especially when they very active with activities.Thats why its important for me to take my kids on friendly hotel where they can enjoy their vacation with us.

When traveling with kids, especially to traditional vacation locals, families should also consider vacation home rentals-- they often have private pools, and kids (and parents!) don't have to be on their best behavior 24/7.
