We are planning a family trip for just a few days. That is my family, my brother's family, and my other brother's family. Our mother will be joining us, too. That makes four households, seven adults and six children all under three years old. Praise to my brave (foolish?) wife who has somehow volunteered to coordinate the arrangements.
Even reserving months in advance, we were unable to get four rooms adjoining at the motel, all with the right view and on the right level.

1.Not toiling to find ideal, adjoining rooms.

3.You don't have to share the common area with strangers, but you can still lounge around together.
4.More than one bathroom. Need I say more?
5.Lots and lots and lots of more room. This is usually the main selling feature.
