Advice for sleeping in a hotel with a baby (lemmy.world)

My wife, my 1 year old and I have a trip coming up and we'll be staying in a hotel.

Our big guy's done great on previous trips sleeping without a problem, but this will be the first time we don't have a separate room for him (we've stayed in cabins and stuff before, I don't mean a separate hotel room). When we try to put him down and he sees us still in the room he usually just cries for us and we would have to end up going to bed with him.

I would love to be able to put him down and still be able to enjoy a quite night of playing cards or watching a movie with my wife without having to go to bed at 7 with him everynight.

Anyone have any advice?

A Slumberpod has been the best purchase we've made for travel. It is a pop-up blackout tent that can go over a pack-n-play or travel crib and provides a consistent sleep space no matter where you are. We've done probably 45 nights away from home in almost 3 years and the only time kiddo woke up in the middle of the night was the one night we didn't use the Slumberpod. Highly recommend.
