My boyfriend and I are both 20 (we won't be 21 until November) and we want to go somewhere for two nights (July 21st and 22nd). It's our first vacation together in our 2.5 years of going out but every hotel or motel we've looked at says it doesn't take reservations from anyone under 21. We were originally planning on Virginia Beach, but everywhere I e-mailed or checked their website (about 30 places) said we had to be 21. I know Wildwood, NJ has "senior week" and stuff and takes reservations from anyone over 18, but is that only during prom season? I e-mailed another 10 or 15 places in Wildwood about 4 days ago and NOBODY has gotten back to me yet.
Do you know of any decent hotels near a beach that accept reservations from people under 21? We don't want to drag a 21 year old friend out with us just to get the room for us, they all have work or other commitments.
We live right outside Philadelphia if that helps. And we're looking to spend under $130 or so per night if possible.

I've been to Seaside Heights at least a thousand times with my mom and sister, so I'm really looking for something a little farther away. But I will definately look into it as a back-up (my bf hasn't been there. He's actually never been anywhere besides PA except 3 times to NJ and once to DE...). Thanks Jennifer N.

Actually all hotels ask for a photo ID now when you check in. We stayed at the Inn at Reading near my college once (which had a minimum age of 18). We made the reservation and payment over the phone with his debate card, but when we got to the Inn, he had to show them the card we made the payment with and his driver's license.
It's such a hassle......

I know we don't need an advance reservation or anything, but they still ask your age and proof of ID when you get there. We don't want to get all the way somewhere then find out we have no place to stay because we're underage (or because there's no vacancies).
