- Are there any supervised programs for kids? How much do they cost? Do you have to make a reservation?
- Is there in-room babysitting? How much per hour? What are the qualifications of the sitter? How far in advance do you need to make reservations?
- Do the hotel restaurant and room service have a kids’ menu?
- Does the hotel offer several family-oriented cable stations, like Disney, Nickelodeon, AMC, Discovery and Lifetime? Does the TV have a VCR, and is there a video library with kids’ videos?
- Are there Super Nintendos in the room?
- Can the balcony or patio door be locked?
- Does the pool have any special features (like a slide or waterfalls)?
- Does the hotel offer a children’s program? Is it included in the room rate?
