We were pretty much relegated to the bathroom until one time we somehow got a hotel room that was handicapped accessible. The bathroom was so huge we stuck the pack n' play in there! Viola! Quite, dark, and we are free to do as we please - all we had to do was quietly use the bathroom in the dark. So that's my tip - book and handicap room if you need crib space.

We have never had the opportunity to use the curtains so creatively, but I will definitely keep this tip in mind, thanks. We reserve king-size executive rooms where available as well. Being very tired of hiding in bathrooms (as you mentioned) until our two-year-old falls asleep, we take along our own 'suite' solution: a pop-up toddler tent (folds down in the luggage much smaller than a pack'n'play). We cover the tent carefully with a hotel blanket, allowing for ventilation while giving our daughter a nice dark place to rest. We carry a sleep machine as well to give us all some white noise and allow for adult conversation. What a lovely room!

Somehow I managed to get it in. Out? Notsomuch. This reminds me of the time I was determined to shove a Pack N’Play into a hotel closet that was not quite big enough. Somehow I managed to get it in.
