Marriot Question: Fee per Room Occupant

[mykal.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have any general information on what the Marriott might additionally charge for occupants numbering over 4? Is there a general per person fee or does that sort of stuff just get lumped in with other charges?

I for one am having at least 5 in my room and at most 6, but I'm not sure how many keys I'd need or should ask for. I'm probably just going with 4, since two of us will be together a lot of the time anyway.
And since someone earlier mentioned outside food/drink, I wanted to ask:
What is the best covert way to get lots of beer into a hotel room? One of my roomies works for AB in St Louis, and he's bringing a lot of beer cases with him. Last year one of the bellhops told us we could just bring it in, so he helped us load it on a cart. Then we get stopped by management and it gets held from us until check out. This year we'd like to have it with us in the room. We were thinking just taking the cans/bottles and wrapping them up in a couple of suitcases. Is that the best way or might there be another? :)

We don't have housekeeping in our rooms while we are at con if we don't want them to see something.

Definitely plan on using that "do not disturb" sign :D

I've seen people take microwaves and various size coolers (guilty of the latter, myself) and no one working at the hotel(I presume on the owner of the microwave) said anything.

Basically they can't say anything if you keep it in your room.

This is just a suggestion ^_~

The best way to sneak anything by is to scope out the run from front desk to the elevator. (Nobody usually gets caught once on the elevator.)

The highest point of getting caught is within eye sight of the front desk. Your best bet is to make a diversion (shouldn't be hard at D*C), cover the questionable materials, and walk with a purpose. Anyone in a suit or uniform should be intercepted by a member of your party with a lot of 'concerns' about their stay. (Please note that this should be done only after check-in when all party members have secured keys.)

Honestly the best time to attempt this is on Friday when front desk is SLAMMED and there's virtually no one to see/stop you amidst the throng of con-goers.

My family has smuggled pets and numerable other items into rooms in the past--including people, using this method.

Nobody's going to look twice at suitcases...if you line them with crumpled newspaper or a good quilt, stuff will even stay cold in them.
