Can 15 year olds stay in a hotel alone?

Answer 1

Another answer: This depends on the age and the maturity of the children as well as the length of time you intend to leave them. Generally longer periods require more physical and emotional maturity on the part of the children. There are 2 types of danger to think about here: the children getting themselves into trouble and trouble brought by others to harm the child. There are 3 parties with both responsibilities and liabilities here: the child, the parents, and the hotel.

* If the children are not old enough to engage the burglar chain door lock (only open-able from the inside) and to look through the peephole, the child is not sufficiently capable to be left alone at all. * If the children are not reliable enough to be trusted to follow instructions, stay in the room and check to see who is at the door before opening it, they are not mature enough to be left alone in the hotel room. * If the child cannot be relied upon to do as they are told, not draw on the walls, spill soda on the bed, help him/herself to the alcohol in the minibar, etc, the child ought not be left unattended in a hotel regardless of age. * If the child is not of sufficient physical ability to deal with trouble which comes to the door (able to run to the phone to call 911, escape to the adjoining room, etc) the child ought not be left alone.

* If the laws which apply to the hotel location (or the rules of the hotel itself, which may be more strict) forbid leaving children below a certain age unattended you may not do so.

Answer 2

Depends on the maturity of the children. As always its up to the judgement of the parents whether a child is of an age where they can take care of themselves without adult supervision. There might also be local laws in the jurisdiction of the hotel that covers these types of situations.

Answer 3

no. minors must have parental supervision at all times in all areas of the hotel.

Answer 4

It depends what their age is, if they are considered minors probably not. There is no rule, but it is probably best for adult supervision.
