My girlfriend's having her Debs next year, so planning a bit ahead here. I want to stay the night wherever their having it, and was wondering have any of you nice people ever stayed in the hotel after the debs After my own debs last year we were kicked out of the bar at 4 and sent home I would love to stay the night, because the day would be so long, and would want to *ahem "get a night's rest" without the bus journey home from the hotel. I've heard it's not possible to stay in the hotel even if you have the money?

I don't have the money now, and may get a B&B, but just saying we are adults and it shouldn't be a problem...should it??

Fionn. Now that you're 27 I think you're too old to be going to debs...

You can understand why hotels wont let them stay. Imagine 20 rooms with god knows how many teenagers in them, still celebrating the night while other guests try to sleep. Not to mention a likely chance they would wreck the place.

But on the other side of the coin it's still bad. They are more than willing to take the booking fee for the debs and the few grand that will go behind the bar.

Like I said, they just dont want teens choking on their own vomit,and not just from drink can you imagine the uproar if something terrible did happen, like someone took a bad tablet or something??

sure it could 'only' be the Hotels fault

And they make it very clear to the committee booking the debs, no-one is allowed stay. The committee can book somewhere else if they don't like it.
I would hate to be on holidays, staying a hotel with a crowd of teenagers in the next bedrooms.

Your last line was a rehash of what I said. But oddly enough you chose to only quote one line of my post :pac:

odd post is odd :pac:

I had my Debs in The Rochestown Park hotel in Cork a few years back. They wouldn't take any room bookings, and they also wouldn't serve shots at the bar. You could only buy one drink at a time. My boyfriend tried to buy us both some drinks at the bar but in order to do so, he had to bring up my empty glass so I could prove I wouldn't be downing 2 vodkas :rolleyes:

Pathetic enough at €80 a ticket to take our money but not let us book in!

We booked a different hotel in town, we weren't looking for a party we just wanted somewhere to stay for the night. No trouble checking in and we didn't wreck the place. The sex was decent too, for those who were wondering

You mean you're not having a fleet of stretched Hummers to collect you and your "mot", deliver you, locked out of your heads to the Four Seasons, then fall, vomitting around the grounds only to be put to bed in your "debs" suite ??

What year is it?

I went to various debs between the years of 2009-2012 all of which took place in counties Cork/limerick/Tipperary and we all had no problem booking in and staying the night but they were all very strict about ID and all under 18 had to leave at about 12.30. These were all 4/5 star hotels. People just simply booked the room online and checked in on the day.

Hang on..what's the problem with them staying in the hotel?
I just don't understand what the problem here is?

Imagine you run a hotel....

People attending debs are very unlikely to be customers of yours for a good many years. The customers you do have, they want it quiet and clean. Your cleaning staff, they want to be in and out.

In theory, sure, a customer is a customer.
In practice, you get a group of teenagers, most of whom will be drunk, loud, up all night partying and carrying on. Other customers will be unhappy with the noise, the teenagers will trash the place, and given the levels of hormones and alcohol, many would find it 'unseemly' to facilitate sexual encounters. In fact, legally, someone who is drunk can't consent in Ireland.

The hotel is opening itself up for all sorts of problems. It's just not worth it from a business standpoint.

True dat.

Although none of my mates did either. I was part of the nerd group.

Maybe if you were a hotel proprietor and had possible rapes or allegations of rapes involving underage persons and answering questions from the guards for months and having to attend courts as well as having staff attend courts for years afterwards. Think of the damage to reputation. Debs are ridiculous.

I think, judging by the responses there, that other peoples Debs were a lot different than the few I went to.

Staying in Hotel at Debs!
