Hey crappy parents, hotels aren’t a place to celebrate kids birthdays

Are we talking about a family celebrating in their room while traveling?

Or are we talking about somebody renting a room and then throwing a party with 50 guests in the room/lobby/pool?
The latter. One set of parent(s) and a bunch of hellhounds that run around uncontrolled with their til toks and shrieking voices.

A hotel isn’t a place for a child’s birthday. That’s it. That’s the statement.
Allow me to check my notes:

Appropriate Locations:
  1. Indoor trampoline park
  2. Local park with picnic area and playground
  3. Bowling alley with kid-friendly lanes
  4. Indoor play center or bounce house facility
  5. Children's museum or science center
  6. Zoo or animal sanctuary with kid-friendly exhibits
  7. Ice skating rink with lessons for beginners
  8. Art studio offering painting or craft parties
  9. Movie theater with private screening options for kids
  10. Indoor swimming pool with lifeguards and shallow areas

Inappropriate Locations:
  1. Adult nightclub or bar
  2. Casino or gambling establishment
  3. Haunted house or horror-themed attraction
  4. Firearms shooting range
  5. Tattoo parlor or body piercing studio
  6. Industrial or construction site
  7. Adult-themed entertainment venue (strip club, burlesque show, etc.)
  8. Jail or correctional facility
  9. Hazardous waste disposal site
  10. Abandoned or condemned building

I saw someone on the internet call them meat sirens and that really stuck with me.

I think my dad got the lists backwards.
 
You're crazy op. You get a room, have the party at the hotel pool, and make sure you buy a few margaritas for the hot, recently separated milf.

Hell yeah, hockey moms are freaks.
One of the soccer moms in my kid’s travel team always had “trunk liquor” - like a full bar in a mahogany travel bar in the trunk of their Lexus.

We tailgated in a Madison parking garage before going to downtown bars on several ocassions.

I miss travel soccer:
 
I’ve been to hotels that seemed built for kids over adults. A standard hotel full of business folk is a no, but one with basically in an indoor water park is a yes for birthdays.

Look at this shithole I had to stay with family at while traveling last year.

Finally a thread from one of the big time expert travelers besides @The Tradition
I only wish the OP had told us his go to on the menu at Applebees he enjoys eating out of a styrofoam container in an airport Marriot while cruising Asian porn.

I don’t think OP probably objects to the birthday parties on their own, but rather the unsupervised running and screaming throughout the hotel that comes with it.
Same thing with youth sports events, you check into a hotel and see 15 families from a sports team, and you’d better hope you’re not on their floor.
 
How about a Holidome?
We stayed at the Davenport one a lot when we were kids. That place was great. And huge. Pool, hot tub, basketball courts, ping pong, full mini golf course... We'd literally play hide and go seek in that joint because windowless vans apparently weren't a thing yet.

Flash forward 25 years and it was sold off and became a Travelodge. Reviews were just awesome. Hookers hanging out at the entrance, bed bugs and heroine needles everywhere in the rooms. The picture they paint was that of a third world country. And to think we roamed around unsupervised all up and down that place when we were like 8. Eventually they bulldozed that bitch.

Those places blew my mind when I was young.
 
“Let’s have a kids birthday sleepover party’

Ok, at our house?

”No way!, they’d trash the place and we’d never get any sleep”

Let’s take them to a hotel.
 
birthday parties as a kid ruled so hard. I miss them so much. If I had one wish before I died it would be a birthday party as an 8 year old, followed by a nerf football game, followed by a Nintendo/ movie night, ending with a sleeping bag sleep over.
 
I will say there are different sorts of hotels for different sorts of guests.

If this is some sort of hotel geared towards couples and romance, then having kids there is in poor taste.

But most hotels aren't that specific.
