Chris,
Come on over to SixSuitcaseTravel.com to find hotels that will sleep 8. Look for a red “Room for 8″. Many hotels only have a few rooms that can sleep 6 or 8 and they go fast. So if a hotel only has 2 rooms that can accommodate 6-8 and they are booked, the hotel’s website search function will show nothing available or that you’ve exceeded the room occupancy. My tip-book early!

Great site. Just one problem. I can’t seem to find any hotel in your list above that will let me book a room for 8. Everyone of them says I exceed the room occupancy when I try to find rates. Why is that? Have they changed or am I missing something?

Help,
Chris

Oh, family of 12 is a hard one. We do have a few hotels for really big families, but not many. If you ever head down to Kissimmee,FL, I know we list two hotels there that can accommodate 12.

With the listings we do have it will cut down your need for 3 rooms down to 2.

As always; if you come across a hotel that we don’t have listed, let me know so I can post it ASAP!

Safe Travels!
Theresa

@John Wow, that IS a big group. If I were you I’d try Homewood Suites while on the road, and a house when you reach your destination in California.

What is your destination?

How ’bout some “real” tips for my family of 12. 7 boys ages 16,13,11,10,5,4,and 6 months and 3 girls ages 14,8 and 7. We’re traveling from WV to CA this summer for a friend’s wedding. I remember the hassles traveling with just 4 or 5 little kids – lots of rejection, rules and ‘company policies’ that can’t accommodate families. I work as a firefighter, so we need to be pretty frugal. Looking into renting a house for the week. Hotels are a real hassle for a family of twelve.

Ugh! That should say Best Western (especially if heading to Canada) and Embassy Suites would have made a top 10 list.

If we had expanded this list to the top 10, Hyatt Place and Embassy Suites would have made the list! :)

What about Embassy Suites? So great with nickelodeon, separate room for kids, free breakfast, happy hour for parents, pools and usually hot tubs, too.

These are great tips. I have a family of four but we like to spread out a bit when we can. I will pass these tips on to my friends with larger families.
