Room size is only the beginning
Families should compare bedding configuration, kitchen facilities, laundry, breakfast, pool hours and whether the room can handle both people and luggage without becoming unusable.
Reduce transfers where possible
Changing trains, buses or vehicles with children and bags can make a short distance feel long. A slightly more expensive hotel in the right area may simplify the entire trip.
Child-seat planning
If using taxis, ride-hail, rental cars or private transportation, check local child-restraint requirements and confirm equipment in advance rather than assuming a seat will be available.
