Our goal is keeping the rest of the guests comfortable. Our rooms are large, so we keep the maximum occupancy of 3 with the rollaway. However, the parents don't count their kid as another person, specially the little ones. They don't walk, they love running specially the rooms upstairs.What do YOU want to do? If you are willing to take the risk and clean the mess for the extra $$ that is one thing. If you want to act to stay legal and give up some $$ that is another. Personally, I think of the worst case scenario and see if I could get through the stress of that situation. If the answer is "no" then I act accordingly.
Personally? We have only exceeded our max occupancy once in 25 years, for 2 days, with guests who have been here many times. They made their reservation months in advance but we filled up fast that year and we could not find alternative accommodations for their party of 3 for the first two nights of their weekly stay. So we allowed the 3rd person to sleep on the sleep sofa in the cottage for those nights and then moved her into the main house for the remaining 5 nights. This was worth it to us as their was little/no risk to us with this arrangement. Everybody was happy...they are back again this year...their 10th with us..
We have a few times where they sneaked them in at night after hours. One lady sneaked in 7 kids with here at night for the soccer tournament...until the morning they checked out we realized how many of them in the room.Are the extra guests showing up after?.
I would guess you have a fire station and insurance company that you would have to comply with . What do they say? How many people are you allowed? For us. If we have one bed in the room then couple can stay in. If we have a bed chesterfield in another room with a window or a door escape then depending on the size of the sleeping Chesterfield then 2 may sleep there. There must be an route to escape It must be marked on the door out , there must be a diagram of escape. Here we are held by the hotel code of hotel ethic. PLUS we must put the code of hotel ethic and fire escape diagram well marked out and displayed where it can be easily seen.Are the extra guests showing up after?.
