Q&A for How to Have Fun in a Hotel Room

Get yourself some snacks from the vending machines, find some good shows to watch, and build yourself a bed-fort with the furniture and blankets. Listen to music on your phone, and call friends or family members. Some hotels rent video game consoles, so this might be a possibility.

If you brought a tablet or smartphone, you can play around on that. You can also read a book or write in a journal if you have one. Basically, just try to do something quiet so you won't wake your parents up before they want to be up.

Look through the peephole and open the door if it is the cleaner. If it is not the cleaner, do not open the door.

Knock on the door and politely ask them to tone it down a little bit. If that doesn't work, call the front desk.

You can just lay on your bed and watch TV, and maybe even order room service.

You could read, try making towel animals, or if you're allowed to watch TV, do that. You could also listen to music on a radio or play dress up with your clothes. Another fun thing to do is to try drawing or writing short stories.

Two people is the perfect number for card games, to snuggle, watch movies, or have a deep conversation.

You should ask your mom and dad first if it's even okay to play with it; if they're actively using it, it's a no-go zone. If it is okay, use passwords like 1234 to play the safe and lock your toys in it.

You could play charades or the alphabet game if there is a friend with you. You could also just take a nap or explore the hotel (if you're allowed).

Throw a party, build a large fort, or play a game of "telephone."

If there is a pool at the hotel, go swimming. Many indoor hotel pools are heated so even if it's cold, you can enjoy the water.

Look around the hotel to see if they have extra rooms or look around outside next to the pool.

Rent a movie on the hotel TV!

Ask the person at the front desk. If you're already in your room, you can call down to the desk. Some hotels also have maps in the rooms to direct you to things like vending and ice machines.

Make sure there is no one around. or don't do it at all.

Draw the snowy scene! Or shut the drapes, and do something inside the room.

You could play a game with imaginary people or make friends with the people next door.

Many hotels have pools, so you can consider going for a swim. If you don't feel like leaving your room, pretty much every hotel has a TV in every room. Some hotels also have little notepads that you can use to write fun notes or make paper airplanes.

Take turns making up a funny story. You start with a premise, like, "Once upon a time there was an elf who married a mermaid..." and then your friend says the next thing that happened, and then you pick it up from there, and so on.

No. Unless you have a very spacious room and there is nothing in the way, don't do gymnastics or anything else too active. You don't want to break something or hurt yourself.

If you have an electronic device with headphones, put the headphones on and listen to music. You could also kindly ask them to stop annoying you or try to distract them with a quiet activity they can do together.

You could ask politely who the person is without opening the door. Do not open the door unless it is a companion or a maid.

You can take anything you would need for the night (toiletries, clothes, etc.) along with anything you want for entertainment. That could include books, movies, games, or anything else you'd like!

You could try watching movies or binge watch episodes of a show online.

You could bring some fun games, go to the pool, or go to the vending machines. You can call room service or order a movie.

Set up a small adventure game to make her friends burn some energy. You could also make a kids club or just watch a movie with snacks and make a fort.

That probably won't happen. If someone sees you watching them, stop watching. If someone does come to your door, just apologize, or if you're in the room alone, don't answer the door.
