is it really a law?can we break it?

We%26#39;re now thinking about trying to visit during Christmastime. We just got back last Monday, and want to return again soon. We stayed at the Affinia 50. We got the Jr. Suite which had two queen beds and a sleeper sofa. This easily sleeps 5, but when I tried to book it for 5, they said New York law won%26#39;t allow 5. We are 3 adult women, a 20 year old and an 11 year old. They offered us a 2 bedroom suite for $739 PER NIGHT. Can%26#39;t afford that. Do you think we could sneak 5 in?

look at embassy suites , sleeps 6 at half the price!!

I stayed at the Embassy last year ..i just wanted to stay in a different location for a change..fab hotel you laso get a free buffet hot breakfat %26amp; there is also a free drinks reception each night between 5-7 fab hotel and we really enjoyed the location..

We were not able to book for 5 people either online at Doubletree Suites ....but then just calledand made reservations over the phone. We also hada 2 queens and a pull-out sofa. No Problem. Just tell them 4 people then...they willnever know. Or try Doubletree suites...great location.

Actually, if you%26#39;re caught you can be charged with ';Theft of Services'; which in New York, depending on the circumstances, can be either a violation or a misdemeanor.

Some unsolicited advice: better to do a little more research, find two rooms, and sleep with a clear conscience.

I agree with Wingman.

the maid who cleans up the room will know

if the hotel management is being especially diligent about things like this, you could be hit up with more fees

And the people in the room next door or below you will probably know, too, because they have to listen to you taking showers, flushing the toilet and tripping over each other.

There is SO much security in hotels these days it would be foolish to assume no one is watching. I suppose the hotel could wink at it but there are regs for multi-resident dwellings in N.Y.C and I%26#39;m betting no hotel would want to risk a fine or any other penalties.

i would not worry about that. we always do it, just u have to be smart about it. dont be messy, so maid will not find out. u could sneak there ;)

It may be a fire code/insurance problem. Some hotels I think in an effort to hold down insurance costs can only accomdodate 4 to a room. Unless you%26#39;ve already SPOKEN to someone, I would phone and ask the question to a manager. Tell him/her what you just told us (I was just there etc.)

What a great deal! I have some friends in a 1 bedroom share in a five-story walk-up who would love to talk to you.
