25 and up... Can wwe get around that?

So me and my crew would rather stay at the edge water. No one in our group is 25 yrs old tho. Can we get someone to sign us in or get around it? If not we have another place to stay but I enjoyed edge water last time I was there.

you may be able to call the hotel and ask about it and see what they can do. Some people are pretty cool on the 25 and up rule. But i know the big places like Wyndham, Holiday Inn, Tidewater are really strict on it.

But the person who registers for you has to be there at check-in for you to get your room if there 25+.

I also just realized that the Days Inn has the 25 year limit... good thing my travel agency didn't tell me anything about that is it possible that its only a rule during spring break times?

oh my god, I hope I won't be having any trouble checking in - didn't wonna travel like 7000 miles to deal with these problems, I just want to have a good time anyone know how strict the days inn people are? maybe they'll turn a blind eye or something

yeah i believe it is a rule for spring break only, because normally you only gotta be 18 to get your own room and stuff.

But they know there is gonna be tons of alcohol involved and people do stupid things when there piss drunk. So they know that they are gonna make a ton of money off the people who actually break stuff. So that's why there is the 25 and up rule. It only applies to Spring Break

I've read a lot on here that ppl are booking thru vrbo or somthing?

OR you can book through a Spring break website.... they waive the 25 min age req... that's how we booked our condo

IF you need any help booking a place. let me know

What website did you use? I have heard horror stories of people booking though theses sites, saying they waive the requirement, but when the people actually get there, the hotel tells them they can't check in without a 25 year old.

I booked through vrbo last year. From what I saw...most places didn't have a 25 and up rule...and most places that book through vrbo didn't care about wristbands.

If you're at the Days Inn...sorry...don't know what to tell you. I think they actually want to see everyone's ID. My advice would be to find some rubber wrist bands of many different colors before you come down....in hopes that one of them will match your hotel's color (also assumng that at least one person in your group is 25).

We booked through Studentbreaks.com and a few yrs ago we booked through springbreakrooms.com.

You do have to be 18 at least. If you have to 21, they tell you on the site.

At Days Inn, you only have to be 18.

Here is a prime example of why you shouldnt use studentcity

They wanted over $400 a person for a room at Laketown Wharf and through vrbo we got it for about $150 a person

I would definitely double check that. It was 25 when I was there. Some one suggested bringing guests up from the beach side. When I stayed there, it was easier to get in through the front than the back.

They always had someone watching guard on the beach side.

I stayed at Paradise Palms last year... its the sister hotel to Days Inn. You only have to be 18. We were all under 21 last year. They even checked our ids. You're good.

& Yeah we brought ppl over from the beachside... they just had to watch for the guards

I would never ever book thru Student City. They charge WAY TOO MUCH. But the site I booked through was like 1/2 their price.
