British influencer Carrie Fletcher recently expressed her frustration after the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, Florida, issued a warning regarding her crying baby. The incident occurred during a family vacation to Universal Studios, where Fletcher and her partner, Joel, were attempting to comfort their daughter, Mabel, who had woken up at 3:30 a.m. due to jet lag.
Security Intervention Raises Eyebrows
In a candid post on her Instagram story, Fletcher recounted the moment when a security guard knocked on their hotel room door to deliver a “first warning” about the noise. She highlighted the absurdity of the situation, stating, “They sent a security guard…a SECURITY GUARD… to knock on our door and issue us with a ‘first warning.’” The couple was already dealing with a tired and confused toddler, and Fletcher questioned what the consequences would have been had Mabel continued crying.
“But I’ve been awake ever since wondering what would have happened had she kept crying. Second/third warning—what? Removed from the hotel? With a 22-month-old?” she added. Fletcher’s remarks underscore the challenges many parents face while traveling, especially when dealing with young children.
Reflections on Family-Friendly Hospitality
Fletcher’s experience prompted her to reflect on the hotel’s suitability for families. She noted, “Despite the teddy bears and kids’ clothes in the gift shop and the inflatable guitar they gave Mabel on arrival… Hard Rock Hotel, Orlando is not a family resort.” This remark has resonated with many parents, who seek accommodations that understand the dynamics of traveling with young children.
Fortunately, Mabel calmed down shortly after the warning, allowing the family to move past the unsettling start to their trip. In her post, Fletcher maintained a light-hearted tone, stating, “Not the best start to our trip but onwards and upwards right?” She added with a humorous twist, “Also, not very ‘hard rock’ to issue a noise complaint to a toddler.”
While neither Fletcher nor Joel have publicly commented further on the incident, their recent social media updates suggest they have since enjoyed the remainder of their vacation. The couple’s experience highlights the often-overlooked challenges that families encounter while traveling, especially in environments that may not cater to the needs of young children.
