Significant others
If you are bringing a significant other (girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse), then you will want to work with them on who will be rooming with you.
The first concern, of course, is "Will anyone be rooming with us?" Your other half may be thinking this will be a "
get away" weekend for the two of you. Nothing ruins that more than room mates rolling in at 3 Am after the rave lets out. also
consider that your other half may not like the idea of rooming with friend 'X."
Limit the list
Ok, how many people can you jam into a hotel room? the correct answer is, "not more than the hotel says you can." If you
got the Presidential Suite with two bedrooms and a living room that's bigger than your apartment, then by all means, invite a dozen friends to
camp out on your floor. But if you've just got the standard two queens, then you don't want more than four people in your room.
People you can trust
This is a big one. If your girlfriend doesn't want to room with your best friend because he's always making passes at her, then it might
not be a wise idea to invite him to share a room with you. If you know that your one friend has a case of "sticky fingers," then
you may not want to share space with them.
Also, do you have a medical condition that might require someone to help you in an emergency? If you're diabetic, you may want to ensure
that at least one (if not all) of your room mates is capable of administering an insulin shot, just in case.
Personal space
Most hotel rooms (short of the Presidential Suite) are not terriblly spacious, and everyone will need a place to put their stuff. If you
can literally live out of your suitcase, congratulations. You don't need a lot of space. but if you have brought enough costumes to change
outfits every two hours and have a makeup kit that looks like this year's Revelon catalog, the you might want to consider reducing the number of
room mates, just to give yourself some extra space.
