One more question, since the hotel I looked have meals included, are they going to force me to get another room, or offer meals for only two guests if it says maximum occupancy is 2?
For a family vacation with kids (1 and 4), it just doesn't make any sense to have 2 rooms. I guess even if we book two room, we are going to stay in one only.
