I'm 21 and it's very hard to find a place to stay in Wildwood for me and my friends. We're all adults in college, we're just looking for a place to stay so we can go to the beach, we're not going to be having any parties or anything. It doesn't seem fair to me, and I don't see how they can do this.

Sorry but that is not age discrimination.This is for the security and safety of the hotel or motel.Same could be said with auto insurance.But the hard facts is that most people in the 19 to 25 age group tend to be irresponsible and the hotels do not want damages that could and would be done.
Fear not though some hotels and motels will rent to you but at double the security deposit.

All hotels has rules and regulations as to why they only want adults over the age of 25. They must of had a terrible run in with some younger folkes, but don't let that keep you from finding somewhere else to stay.

I agree with you, it does seem to ban under 25 indiscriminately. Although, as another poster mentioned, it most likely has to do with insurance and liability reasons. Most major car rental companies do not rent under 25 either, or charge a substantial amount more money if you are under. If they won't book you a room, look elsewhere. I'm not sure which Wildwood your talking about, but it sounds like a great place to go camping instead anyways! Have a safe trip.

No, the regulation says that a individual will possibly not enter or stay on licenced premises in the event that they are below 18 years of age, except in the instantaneous company of a parent or criminal father or mom. this does not advise pals/cousins/different family contributors over 18, the guy below 18 would desire to be with a parent the entire time. So except the parent of your youthful contributors is going to be staying with you all, then staying in a inn isn't an option. in addition to, there are particular aspects of the inn (the place poker machines or gaming units are) that can't be accessed by making use of a individual below 18 at each time - in spite of a parent or father or mom modern. rules bearing directly to age discrimination (as defined in the Anti-discrimination act) applies in ordinary terms to the employment of individuals elderly over 40. It does not stick to to people attending inns or golf equipment.

Yes, it is age discrimination. Common law dictates that no establishment offering services to house (including hotels) may deny cooperative potential tenants the right to stay there, regardless of age, if said people are able to pay. Enforcement of any "age requirement" is technically age discrimination. It is true that exceptions are granted for things such as auto rental. Hotels can usually get away with posting restrictions because younger people are much less likely to have lawyers on hand ready to sue the crap out of hotels which refuse to do business with them simply because of age. The predicament lies in the unenforceable nature of contracts with regard to minors, whose signatures are essentially worthless, which means that the hotel would be liable for all possible damages suffered. Nonetheless, hotels may NOT TECHNICALLY LEGALLY reject minors who are able to pay simply because they are not liable. They may, however, turn down anybody, who they have SPECIAL REASON to believe will cause damages, for example, a drunken 40-yr old pastor blurring his speech wielding a machete. It is, of course, understandable that a hotel wishes not to have to worry about being held liable for damages done by minors. To reiterate, hotels may NOT legally turn minors down for that reason, although it happens all the time. I find the rejection of 18- to 24-yr olds an even more egregious act of age discrimination because they would be considered adults under the law (at least in the US) and therefore would be liable for damages.

I, personally, think it is age discrimination because , technically,in the u.s., you turn into an adult at 18 and are allowed to drink at 21. So, only allowing 25 year olds and up is kind of stupid. 18, 21, or even 24, you are still an adult in present- day society.

No, it's not age discrimination. They do it to help keep hotels safe.
