Advice for sleeping in a hotel with a baby (self.parenting)

My wife, my 1 year old and I have a trip coming up and we'll be staying in a hotel.

Our big guy's done great on previous trips sleeping without a problem, but this will be the first time we don't have a separate room for him (we've stayed in cabins and stuff before, I don't mean a separate hotel room). When we try to put him down and he sees us still in the room he usually just cries for us and we would have to end up going to bed with him.

I would love to be able to put him down and still be able to enjoy a quite night of playing cards or watching a movie with my wife without having to go to bed at 7 with him everynight.

Anyone have any advice?

Yeah I'm hoping he's so tuckered out that he just falls right asleep. We have a lot of activities planned that I think he'll love.

Turning the TV on before he goes down is a good idea, it certainly beats my previous thought of keeping it muted with subtitles on.

The bathroom idea is great! I hadn't thought about that, the bathroom looks pretty big so we'll see if it can fit his pack and play.

Thanks!
