Is it over 18? 21? How about if you're under 18?

usually 18, with a major credit card or cash with a valid i.d., which the hotel will xerox and keep a copy of so they can track you down if there are any damages to account for, many large hotels will not rent to anyone under 21, so if there are problems involving alcohol there is an accountable adult

There is no clear minimum - many hotels have policies requiring the lodger to be at least 18 or 21, or be accompanied by someone over that age. However, there was a case recently in Michigan where a soldier who returned from fighting in Iraq was refused a room - he is 20. See the link for full details.
So, the minimum age is 18, IF there is law requring public accomodations to be extended to all adults, regardless of age. However, this may not be inforced in some places. If you are under 18, one cannot expect to be extended the same rights and protections, because there is no legal expectation that a minor should be treated equally to an adult.

I've seen some that don't ask for an ID. Most want 18 while in many college towns I've seen them want 21 and proof that you are not a local person hoping to throw a party. Often if you make a reservation ahead of time and show up to pay, they don't question your age though.

In most states, it's 18. In Nevada or in any casino it's 21. No to anyone under 18, unless its a po-dunk motel that nobody gives a crap about.

In the US, you need to be 18. Minors may contract for necessities, but a hotel room is not a necessity.

usually you have to be 18 but if you go down to the hood you can get a room for cash.
You also have to have a credit card for a nice room

Maybe in the event of a disaster, if the child had or didn't have money they would be booked in. The registering is a matter of law.
