Now... if you meant that you and the kids want to use the facilities, you could ask at the front desk... however, I am not sure why the hotel would want to give away their facilities when you do not provide that particular hotel with business.
No, here is what I was hoping for.
Me and my daughter stop by, I pay some reasonable price ($10/20) for pool access so my kid can swim. I would crank up my laptop and sit at the pool and do the work while she is enjoying the pool.
I did call the hotel and explained, they wanted $119 for one night room rate! Ouch. I have season pass for the Carowinds here in CLT but they don't have laptop power close to the pool area where I could work and keep an eye on my kid so that was out.
So no I wasn't planning to do anything to cheat but $119 was bit steep for kid to use pool while I was trying to do some work.
