Is it reasonable for hotels not to let parents live with adult children?

Recently, a hotel refused to let parents and adult children live in standard rooms, which triggered a heated discussion. It is reported that 65438+ 10/day, the first day of the National Day holiday, in a hotel chain in Changsha, some netizens reported that they brought their families to the hotel but were asked by the staff to "share the room" because their parents were elderly people over 60 years old and needed to share the room, while their adult children were adults over 1 8. In this regard, many netizens think that this is discrimination against adult children, and many people say that this is to protect the privacy of the elderly and prevent accidents. So, is this practice of the hotel reasonable?

First of all, let's see why many parents don't want their children to share the same room with their elders. Legally speaking, if a family of three people travel together, one of them 18 years old and the other two are underage, then they can enjoy single room treatment. But if it is a minor above 18, parents can no longer enjoy this treatment. Therefore, for many families, if the child is over 18 years old, then parents will choose to let the child go out alone to avoid some unnecessary troubles. After all, no one wants their children to get hurt during the trip for their own reasons. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the relevant laws and regulations in China. For example, the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment stipulates that people under the age of 16 will not be punished for violating public security administration, and those over the age of 16 will be given a lighter or mitigated punishment; Those under the age of sixteen shall not be punished, and their guardians shall be ordered to strictly discipline them; When necessary, it can also be taken in for reeducation by the government. So for those elderly people, most hotels will refuse to let them live with their children for the purpose of protection.

Secondly, from the moral level, this is also a normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, adults, especially after marriage, will live with their partners, children and parents. This is mainly because couples, especially newlyweds, need their own space to ensure their feelings. Moreover, as children grow up, we should also give them some freedom and not interfere too much. As for both parents, although they are old, they should have some private space and can't be disturbed at will. Therefore, when a young couple travels with their children and parents, they will naturally be asked to live separately. In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon, not aimed at anyone.

Finally, from the perspective of security, it is not allowed. As we all know, with the general improvement of people's living standards, the pressure of life is increasing, and many people choose to travel on holidays.
