For Christmas, I purchased the Grand Suite at Great Wolf Lodge (sleeps 8 people and is divided into two rooms) for my family and one of our close friend’s family. There was a promotional and it was a great deal…my wife and I have two kids and our friends also have two kids. We are really looking forward to it. Today my wife was hanging out with her sister and Coincidentally, her sister had used the same promotion and booked a room with another family the night BEFORE we got there. My wife called me on her way home and said she gave permission for her sister’s family and the random family I don’t even know to use our showers in our rooms on their checkout day. I protested and said I wish she would have asked me first because while I don’t mind her sisters family using our room(they are great and I like them), I don’t want random people and their kids all over our rooms. Also, since we have friends there sharing our room it violates their space also and it’s inconsiderate. She thinks I’m being unreasonable and hung up on me. I think I’m being super reasonable…AITA??
NTA. They screw something up, you get busted for too many people in the room or any other issue who gets the bill? You do.
I mean, NTA but it’s also not like they’re gonna be in there showering all day? If they all went in and did their thing once and left for home i personally wouldn’t have a problem with it, if your wife trusts they’ll be quick and won’t steal or anything crazy. Of course it’s your choice and your money.
NTA., u don’t need other ppl in ur bathroom, germs germs and more germs
NTA, when is she calling the other couple to inform then that two groups of unknown people now have access to their stuff? ROFLMAO. It’s her bed let her sleep in it.
Nta gwl has locker rooms they can use including family rooms
NTA they can shower in their own rooms before they check out.
NTA. I think you were super reasonable, especially with not wanting random people in the room. Even if her intentions were good, it puts you in the position of having to defend boundaries that really should’ve been discussed first.
Maybe YTA?
These people are checking out that day, using the slides/pools, and they just want someplace to change before they go back down to their cars. Is that accurate?
As long as your wife is willing to chaperone and make sure everybody gets finished and out the door promptly, this seems like a pretty minor ask to allow them to briefly use your space.
Now if wife is saying, “give them the key and let them enter and leave for hours”, or similar, then I’d be on your side.
NTA There are locker rooms with changing areas and showers to use after checking out. They can use those.
NTA, it’s such a huge overstep to just tell them to use your space without consulting everyone else who is using that space with an expectation of an amount of privacy.
I don’t want strangers around my toothbrush, meds, etc.
So when you check in, the two bathrooms are going to be wet, no longer clean and you will need to ask for towels for 8 people, not a good way to start the trip. Tell them to use the resort changing rooms and showers.
Ew that’s grossly inappropriate. I’d have her call back and say there is a change of plans.
Why do they need to shower? Couldn’t they just jump in the pool. Or why didn’t they shower in their own room before they checked out.
NTA, they can use the locker rooms
