Do you have to be 18 to reserve a hotel room?

Question

If yes, then do the ask for ID if you look like an adult? Or does it depend on what hotel you're going in/not really matter?

Answer 1

Do it by phone, no problems, or ask the girl your taking there to do it.

Answer 2

You will have to show ID when you check in, no matter how old you look.  If you are not paying with a credit card, you may have to pay more, and a good hotel may be hesitant to rent to you.  Smaller motels may be your best option without a credit card.  You do not necessarily have to reserve a room in advance, depending on the hotel or motel you choose.  Many hotels always have rooms available, especially in the off season - tourist season may be a different matter.  Check online for hotels in the area you are interested in and you will get more information.

Answer 3

You will have to show ID when you check in.

If you don't have a credit card you'll need to give them a deposit.

You normally do not need a reservation. I travel a lot and don't have a credit card so I can't make a reservation. I have never had an issue. The advantage of a reservation is that it locks in the price of the room. Some hotels will take a reservation without a credit card but they are rare.

If you don't care about the room and are desperate you can try one of the stripper motels. They are cheap $39-$49 a night and probably care less about IDs. The one in Ottawa is called the Preston I think (something with a P in Vanier).

Answer 4

You can't reserve a Hotel room without a credit card....I doubt that you could rent a room without a card either.
