Sometimes there's no extra charge for a child in existing bedding, ie: if you don't order a cot. It's hard to know because I can't even figure out which hotel you're at. "Starwood Maui" and "Sheraton or Maui" don't make any sense.
Failing that, I doubt you'll get much sympathy on these threads if you're looking for help to scam the system. Conventional wisdom is your cheating just passes extra cost to those of us who play - and pay - by the rules.
