Please clarify, OP ... because of this guy's strict views, then NO ONE in the group could share a bed with the opposite sex? I'd tell him to shove it. If he doesn't want to share a bed with a woman, then that's fine. But his views don't get to control anyone else's behavior.

Seems to me that you have 2 rooms and 8 people. Split the cost of the rooms evenly. If he decides sleeping on the floor is HIS only option, that's his choice.

No, and I wouldn't lie on top of hotel bedspreads as they are seldom washed. Your friend could have for a rollaway bed.

Nope. I won't walk in a hotel room barefoot. I sure as heck am not willingly going to lay on that nasty carpet.

When I was young and broke, yes.


Now that I'm old and the only thing that's "broke" is my body, NO.

Gross as it is, I did it a lot in my ski bum days.

Saved me $20 a day which was no small amount back when minimum wage was $4.85 and lift tickets were $35-40.

"Would I sleep on the floor" isn't the question. I for sure wouldn't be traveling with someone who tells me who I can and cannot sleep with.

Sleeping on the floor doesn't even enter into it.

No, never.

Putting a blanket underneath you still won't keep you from breathing the dust and other carpet crap. I'm an asthmatic and allergic to some animals as well as dust -- sleeping on the floor could put me in the ER. No one who has allergies should sleep on a hotel room floor. Your natural defenses are at their weakest in the wee hours of the morning.

Recently I had the horrifying experience of getting a "nice" room but waking up every five minutes coughing like an 80 year old smoker. I got someone else in there to check it out. It seems a recent visitor had had a dog with them and the dog had peed on a bed pillow. Somehow it was allowed to dry and the maid just put a different pillowcase on it.

I got moved to a different room.

Yuck, NO!!! And I agree with another poster, if I'm married I'm not sharing a room with anyone else anyway!

Hell, I don't even like to walk on a hotel room floor. But hey, as long as the religious freak who caused the problem is the one who slept on the floor, I guess it all worked to everyone's satisfaction.

Thumbs down These days I won't even share a room, much less share a bed

Floor? Not if I was paying for the room.

Had a very short friend, would volunteer to sleep in the bathtub. No dust, no dander, no bedbugs.
