only 1 crib allowed at Marriott ???

The Marriott says they can only fit one crib per room. We feel we can fit 2.
Anyway, how do we let 2 kids sleep...15 month and 5 month...without the dangers of keeping them in the bed ?
I see those portible cribs that fold up but they state they are 15.5 inches long ? Way too short !!!
Maybe we make a blanket bed for AJ and surround him with pillows ? He does sleep on a low cot at daycare.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
-Ran

15.5 inches long? That can't be right...that would be too small for a newborn...maybe that's the size when it's folded....?

How about a pack-n-play?

When we stayed at the Marriott, we had two cribs in our room. It was very tight, but we managed. If I were you I would insist on 2 cribs and then it is up to you whether you use them or not.

Good Luck,

Good Luck,

We will as it gets closer. we don't need the table and chairs so much so we can push those together in the corner or closet.
thanks

Hi Ran,
Who told you that you couldn't have 2 cribs-- the GC Marriott or a general Marriott phone number? We asked for one crib when making our reservations, then found out the night before we went that we'd have our younger baby with us, too. So I clicked on the 'virtual concierge' link (or whatever it's called) in their confirmation email, and requested a second crib.

As soon as we arrived, they brought us two cribs. We were on the baby floor, across from the lounge, with 2 double beds, one crib at the foot of the beds, and one crib in the corner by the window. We still had enough room for the table, chairs, lamp, suitcases...

Perhaps it's just a general Marriott policy to say no, but I can tell you that the GC Marriott definitely does it.

Good luck and have a fantastic trip!

Just ask Juliemom23 - we had 3 in our room and it was just fine. 2 cribs with one in each corner by the window would be really easy to manage.

Jen is so right. We requested 2 cribs with no problems and we brought our own PNP. It worked out amazingly well. We put the cribs against the back wall (by the porch) and draped the the drapes over them and then we put the PNP in the bathroom. It barely fit and we had to go down to the baby lounge if we had to pee in the middle of the night, but we had three kiddos that could and would all go to sleep at the same time!
