Hotel crib question

[KristinandChris]

Hi everyone! I'll be a new mom soon (daughter is due in October) and it looks like we'll be taking a spring break trip to CA including Disneyland next April. Since this will be the first time we'll most likely use a hotel how are the cribs that hotels provide? Are they safe? We'll be flying from the east coast to CA so I don't think we'll have room for a pack-n-play - if we were driving somewhere we'd definitely pack it. Do we need to provide our own sheets? Our daughter will be around 6 months old at the time of the trip. I'm soooo excited to finally see Disneyland, especially with a new baby, but I'm also nervous about traveling across country with an infant, help!

If I am not mistaken they are standard pack and plays. I could be wrong but that is what we got at wdw. There was sheet with them.

Most hotels we ever used one at they were just a standard pack n play. I brought my own sheet, although there was always something provided, although not always a crib sheet, sometimes just a flat to be folded around it.

I also stayed one time and got a wooden crib, it looked newer and I checked it over as much as I could for safety issues or assembly issues. Obviously I could have missed something, but thank goodness it seemed, nice, new and sturdy. No issues.

Most places we have stayed (and there have been lots) it's usually a PnP. I always bring my own sheet, but most times one is provided.

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize they would be pack-n-plays, we'll have one at home so I'll pack a sheet just in case the hotel doesn't provide one or if it doesn't look very nice

Just about everywhere I stayed a Pack and Play was standard. But, even the nicest hotels had some dirty ones. I would call the hotel ahead of time and see what is offered. If it is a Pack and Play I would bring my own sheet & even the bottom pad if I had room for it. When I have stayed at Saratoga and Old Key West they did have small portable cribs upon request - first come first serve - which were better. They were metal so I could clean them up a bit.

May I also add.....bring a can of Lysol with you....and I am not a germ-a-phob at all. A vacation with a sick baby is no fun. I always spray down the door handles, toilet, remote, phone, etc whenever we stay anywhere.
