Can you check into a hotel without the person who booked it?

Every hotel by law needs to maintain a guest register. It does not matter who has paid for the booking, you should have a booking as a guest. When you check-in they will ask for an identity proof to ensure that you are indeed the person who has booked the room.

Can I give my hotel reservation to someone else?

You can book a hotel room for someone else using your credit card, as long as you list that person as the guest when booking. ... But most will also require you to either prepay the reservation or fill out a credit card authorization form for the guest to bring.

What happens if you book a hotel for one person?

Typically nothing. In my experience (just staying, I've never worked in a hotel or the industry), they expect a second person even if it's booked for just one. They will usually ask you how many keys you want if someone is with you while checking in. ... You will be charged for the extra person or asked to leave etc.

How do I cancel a non refundable reservation on booking com?

Booking.com will display the cancellation options when you reserve your trip and also in the confirmation email received after booking your trip. If your reservation is labelled 'non-refundable' this means that you cannot cancel or change it.

Can you prepay for a hotel room?

Prepay for your hotel rooms. Nearly all online booking systems, including hotel booking systems and discount booking sites, offer the option of prepaying for the room. The rate when prepaying for a room can be anywhere from $10 to $50 less per night than if you do not prepay.

Can you use a fake name at a hotel?

Legally, yes. A hotel is free to rent you a room for cash, without verifying your ID, or even asking your name, if that's how they want to do business. As a practical matter, most halfway decent hotels will not do this, and the law does not require them to do so.

How do I get my money back from a non refundable hotel?

Yes, it's possible. "You can resell your nonrefundable hotel bookings to other people and receive a refund that way," says Galena Stavreva, CEO of SpareFare.net, which facilitates these room changes. She says hotels allow for changes of the name of the main guest under the reservation.

Can you change the name on your hotel reservation?

Can I change the name under which the hotel room is reserved? No - you can add a guest name, but you can't change it. The person whose name the room is booked under originally will need to be present at time of check-in.

Can I sell my non refundable hotel room?

“Can I sell my hotel room” and “How do I sell my hotel room” are two questions we get asked quite often. The short answer is yes, and it is very easy!

Do hotels keep track of guests?

Hotels have always kept logs on their guests, tracking previous stays, comments and complaints, even which pay-per-view movies you ordered.

Is it cheaper to book a hotel for one person?

In the US the rate is usually the same for one or two occupants. Were I in your situation, I would see no problem. In the US, some hotels in New York or most famously the Motel 6 chain, do have single rate, and the 2nd person will have to pay a surcharge.

Is it better to call a hotel or book online?

I got the idea from Consumer Reports magazine. They say their shoppers got the best hotel rates by calling the hotels directly. That's compared to online services that promise discounts, or to using hotel websites, even if they have low price guarantees.
