Strange question about Fairfield Inn

Question for anyone who has stayed at the Fairfield Inn. . . .

My husband and I will be staying at the Fairfield Inn on the beach in June. We will be bringing our 21 month old daughter. Since she goes to bed pretty early, I was thinking that maybe we could put her pack n play in the bathroom till we are ready to go to bed. That way we won%26#39;t wake her up if we want to watch TV or, you know, stay up past 8pm :) Do you think the bathroom of a regular room is big enough to put a pack n play in??

We haven%26#39;t stayed in a hotel with her yet and I%26#39;m a little nervous about how we will pull this off!!

Thanks for any input to my silly question :)

Strange question about Fairfield Inn

While we haven%26#39;t stayed in the Fairfield we have stayed at a lot. I think in most hotels it would make the bathroom cramped for you. And looking at the candid pix on TA here you might have to move out the pack %26#39;n%26#39; play in order to access the bathroom yourselves during the evening. Also, the ventilation isn%26#39;t always the same in a bathroom as in the room unless the door is open. Also, flushing can be loud and could wake the baby with a start.

Try things at home before you go.

In looking at the candid shots and being familiar with other suite hotels it looks like you might move the desk and put the pack %26#39;n%26#39; play there. You might fashion a %26#39;screen%26#39; with a dark sheet from home. Baby being exhausted and you all speaking a bit low like parents need to do at times might do the trick.

Be sure to take familiar sleeping items with you. Be SURE she will sleep in the pack %26#39;n%26#39; play. (I know parents surprised and having to rethink when baby won%26#39;t sleep in her pack %26#39;n%26#39; play.)

Get her used to it at home before the trip if she%26#39;s not already. Even if she is...they change from month to month so do it again. Perhaps even the darkening screen idea. Have certain blankets/toy/traditions/smells that go with sleeping only, perhaps add to her usual sleeping system with a special- sleeping-in-the-pack %26#39;n%26#39; play toy every time she sleeps in the pack %26#39;n%26#39; play at home ...and then bring them to the beach so she associates and it%26#39;s not new.

Strange question about Fairfield Inn

We stayed at the Fairfield Inn last year and the pack n play will fit in the bathroom, but you will have to move it out when she is not sleeping or you will have a tough time getting around it. But if you want to put it in there when its time for her to go to bed and to sleep so you and your husband can enjoy the beach and stay up past 8, I think you will be fine.

And its not a silly question. I%26#39;m always interested in what the bathrooms look like, that says a ton about a hotel.

Hope you have a great time at the Fairfield, we loved it and plan on returning!

Ive not stayed in the FF Inn, but my wife and I went to VA Beach last year with our 12 month old. She slept in a pack and play. Typically, we put her to bed around 8ish and then enjoyed the evening on the balcony. It worked very well. I could have sat out on the balcony all night long.

Maybe the footprint of the pack and play would fit into the shower/tub.

Most hotels have a fairly standard bathtub. Try it at home and see.

Of course, if she is able to wake up and climb out of the pack and play, you may have other issues whee you wouldn%26#39;t want her in a slippery bathroom with hard surfaces.

Thanks for all the feedback! It sounds like we might be able to put her in the bathroom till we are ready to go to bed. If not, I totally forgot about the balcony - so that would be a good place to hang out with a few beers :) I%26#39;m excited for our trip - thanks!!!

ive been there before and i would suggest that you dont place child and pack n play in the bathroom. perhaps you could try to cover the side of the pack n play with a thin sheet so the light wont bother her, or place the pack n play in a dark area of the room. Is she a light sleeper? also be careful with the patio/balcony as she may be a climber!!!
