- Connecting rooms are available — a practical option for families of 5+ or trips with grandparents.
- Some rooms include sofa beds, which usually count toward the room's stated occupancy.
- Cribs are available, so an infant typically doesn't consume a bed spot.
- Suites are on the room map for extra space.
Room fit can still vary by date and party size. Search your dates and kids' ages to see which rooms actually fit your family.
