In college, my friends and I would save money and get vacation rentals. They are a much better option. You can drink all you want, be as loud and obnoxious as you want, and you aren't bothering anyone in close proximity.
Plus it's just cheaper. In a hotel, you have to pay a couple hundred per night, with taxes, split amongst everybody, and then you are forced to go out and purchase expensive food and drinks.
The last trip I took in college was to Clearwater beach, FL. We got a beachfront property, 5 stories, fully equipped with everything that we needed (beach stuff, bikes, pots/pans, grill, hot tub, etc). To stay in the house for 5 days, the 5 of us split the cost and it ended up being under $200 per person. We would go out to eat, but we didn't have to do it every night (like you would in a hotel) because we had a kitchen and a grill and had cheap feasts. We also went parasailing and jet skiing, went to a waterpark, drank our asses off each night, and the whole thing cost me under $600.
Now imagine if I had done that in a hotel. Each of us would have had to spend about $250 just on the room alone, and that's the total split cost (could get a cheaper hotel right? Then take home bedbugs and spend more money getting rid of it later?) And instead of buying $50-100 on groceries and liquor, we'd have to spend more like $300+ to eat/drink for the whole week. Then we would have had to pay for other BS like parking, which is usually 10-15$ per night, and that doesn't even cover activities (jet skiing and parasailing were $170). So, now you have racked up about $1000 when you didn't have to.
Again, I have worked in hotels and I have dragged many a moronic college student out of a hotel. If you're just looking to drink in a hotel room with friends, you might as well just stay home.
Just my 2 cents.
Yeah that is why most hotels avoid renting to college students.
No hotel encourages parties, None of them, Between the annoyance to other guests and the costs of cleaning up, they always lose money.
If you're too young to drink in the bars, rent a house or go camping.
I think you rent a house and do whatever you want.
