Sneaky Sneaky: Sneaking more people into a hotel room than you paid for
Question Posted Tuesday February 7 2012, 10:00 pm
So I am going on vacation this year to San Fran or San Diego... havent decided yet. Either way... there will be 4 of us but we cant afford a hotel for 4 of us. So I wanna know how easy or complicated it is to get a 2 person room and sneak 2 more people in. We were thinking we could get a blow up mattress and sneak it out every day... no big deal if we have to do that... but the maid might notice extra luggage... idk. Have any of you done this? Is it pretty easy to get away with?

Most hotels have security cameras, We keep track of who comes and goes in a hotel. Sneaking people in can lead to arrest as this is fraud and theft. As a guest in a hotel we trust you to treat everything with care and responsibility.
Sneaking in friends because you do not want to cough up the money to pay for more folks will only cost the card holder more money in the long run. They WILL and CAN charge you for each and every individual that is staying in the hotel with you. It is completely dishonest and can lead to a ban from the hotel. If you can't afford to pay for your friends, You can't afford the hotel period. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

I even asked a woman at the desk how much it was for an extra two people and she even told me not to tell them that. To come in and pay for two and sneak the other two in.
It depends on who all is going as well.
Like if its a double date thing, than a two bed would be fine. But if its like two boys and two girls than it could be a little weird sleeping in the same bed with another guy who isn't your boyfriend.
But if they are completely comfortable than I wouldn't worry about an air mattress.
But you wouldn't even have to sneak the air mattress in and out, I'd just leave it there, and when you guys aren't going to be there, throw it on top of another bed. They shouldn't suspect the 'extra' luggage either.
If they do than explain that females always pack way too much! hahah.
and if you are worried about the extra luggage than just hide it in the room; combine them together and put the extra bag in the trunk.
I don't see it being a problem. Just make sure when you pay for the room, the other two people are in the car, and have them stay there until its clear.
