Answer 1

1. They can, but they rarely do. I have frequently even let them know of a changes in people staying in the room or given the names of the people staying so my guest can receive phone messages or pick up a key for the room if we have different travel plans. Front desk seldom checks/changes your price level. Sometimes small motels keep strict control, or hotels that have had trouble with large late night room parties. But in the later they are watching more for a large group of youth and watch more late at night. 1 or 2 in laws are more likely to go under the radar.

2. No. Housekeeping doesn't normally care or report this, and no one really checks. Again, it is when you have a huge group of people staying and partying in the room that is more likely to attract attention. Like leaving the room totally trashed for the made to get upset about and take action. If there are 2 or 3 of you in a 3,000 room hotel, there will be no notice.

One thing is some hotels lock up at night or have night security that require showing keys to get in. You may want to get a couple of room keys so you all have them. Sometimes they just give you 2 at check in, even if one person is registered. If you are worried about it, you can always go an hour after checking in and ask for a key. If they ask, which they seldom do, say you locked your key in the room.

I think you might be planing this in Vegas. When booking Vegas I see a lot of hotels regulations are up to 4 people with no problem, and extra charge after that. (Again, overloading the room isn't a good idea.) But I have been to Vegas a lot and never had troubles with an extra guest.

Answer 2

1. Not if you appear to sign in. But they can't take the room without you there unless you make that plan with the hotel.
The Patriot act has changed alot of things.
2. Hotel management rarely checks if you have someone else in the room. A nice tip to the cleaning help will probably help you out. With 3000 rooms there is security around.
