Halacha – Jewish Law Children in a Motel Room: Many motels have rules regarding how many children are permitted to stay with their parents in
one room. When planning a trip, my wife and I expected 4 children to join us. So we told the motel that we would like one
room for two adults and four children. The hotel reserved the room for us without incident. At the last moment, a fifth child
wanted to come with us. Am I obligated to tell the motel that now we have five children staying in one room with us? The
hotel never said that there is a 4 child limit per room? Perhaps now they may make us reserve a second room?...
