I received this hotel on priceline. I'm travelling with my wife and 3 children, and booked 2 rooms. This would be a great "win," but when I go to Marriott's website, it says room occupancy is limited to 2 (as one sometimes runs into in Europe, even at American chain hotels). I don't really want to pay for a third room, and it would be awkward to split up the children that way anyway.

Should I say anything to the hotel, or is it safer to just say nothing and bring an air mattress for the third child? thanks.

EDIT: For $60/night, I just booked a 3rd room. This will be pretty nutty, but why not? Reading through the tripadvisor "family" reviews, it seems like some folks had gotten a third (or even fourth) person into a room (sometimes without bedding, though), but at least 1 person was told to book another room. I'm guessing I could have "worked it out," at least with an air mattress, but it's pretty funny to book extra rooms at this lowball price, so I guess we'll be uber comfortable.

BTW, I think this rate is widely available. A great deal (well, not as good if you're a party of 3, maybe, if you don't want to "splurge").
