Does the hotel not allow parents and children to share a room?

In China, many hotels stipulate that adult children and parents cannot live in the same standard room, so they need to book multiple rooms or upgrade their room types. This provision has caused great controversy. On the one hand, some people think that this is a business strategy for hotels to make more money. On the other hand, some people think that this is a reasonable regulation and meets the hotel's safety and management requirements.

First of all, from a commercial point of view, hotels do have the incentive to increase their income through this regulation. After all, if the hotel allows adult children to share a room with their parents, it means that the hotel can sell fewer rooms, thus reducing revenue. Therefore, some hotels may make use of this regulation to earn more profits. But this kind of business behavior, from the consumer's point of view, is really unreasonable.

Secondly, from the perspective of hotel management and safety, this regulation is also reasonable. Because if adult children live in the same room with their parents, it may have an impact on the management and safety of the hotel. For example, there are too many people in the room, which will increase the load of the room and easily cause damage to facilities or potential safety hazards. In addition, if adult children live in the same room with their parents, it may bring noise interference or other inconvenience to other guests, thus affecting the experience of other guests.

Finally, from the consumer's point of view, this regulation is really uncomfortable. After all, if the hotel only allows adult children and parents to live in separate rooms, it may bring unnecessary economic burden to consumers. In addition, some families may need to take care of their elderly parents, and if they can't share the same room, it may bring great inconvenience to travel.

Generally speaking, hotels do not allow adult children and their parents to live in the same standard room, which is actually a commercial behavior, but also has its management and safety considerations. However, from the consumer's point of view, this provision is really unreasonable. Therefore, it is suggested that hotels can respond flexibly according to the actual situation, for example, relevant regulations can be formulated according to the requirements of room size and number of people, so that consumers can choose accommodation methods more freely.
