Safety and suitability for young children

Booking tips for families
Because many Arlo NoMad rooms are compact, confirm bed configuration and room size when you book. If you need multiple beds, request a Room (Bunk) or multiple connecting/adjacent rooms where available.
If your party includes a guest under 21, make sure an adult 21+ is listed as the primary reservation holder and will be present to check in with photo ID. For rooms with terraces or balconies, request details about railing height and child-safety features before arrival.
- Ask the property about child-safety for Terrace Room or any outdoor space before you book.
- List an adult (21+) as the primary guest on the reservation if anyone in your party is under 21.
- Confirm pet rules ahead of time if traveling with a dog or cat.

| Before arrival | Ask about cribs, rollaways or room layout (if needed) |
