Got Toddlers? Where You Stay Matters
I’d argue that traveling with a toddler is the most challenging of all the stages. Babies take work, but they are portable and can’t venture off on their own. Meltdowns and tantrums aside, the real issue when traveling with toddlers is that they are active, mobile, and into everything and anything.
Given all the time, effort, and money that we put into toddler-proofing our homes, staying in random accommodations for even just a few days can be very stressful.
Sleep is a big issue too. Parents work hard to get kids on a schedule and accommodations need to be set-up so kids can still nap and get to bed early, i.e. the right sleeping configuration is critical.
The bottom line is that when you are traveling with a toddler, where you stay matters. It may be the difference between a relaxing vacation and a nightmare.

Since having children, I highly prefer to stay at all suite hotels with a separate living area. This way everyone doesn’t have to go to sleep at the same time.
