how old do you have to be to book into a hotel?

Answer 1

Don't know if there is a legal age, but I first stayed in a hotel on my own at the age of 16, although it was booked and paid for by my parents.

I booked and paid for my own hotel room at 17. I was never asked my age, although I always looked older anyway.

Answer 2

18

Answer 3

You enter into a contract to do so. 18 is the legal age for contracting. Which is to say you can enter into it anyway, but you can't be held to it.
As a practical matter if you walk in like you own the joint. Perhaps joyously proclaming your honeymoon. And a little luck they'll register you. A credit card helps but cash is OK.
If its a run down place the honeymoon idea won't work but they'll need the money. No questions asked.
Go for it son, all they can do is say no.
A motel is more likely to be cooperative. Again a run down one. She'll understand ;-)
BUT if you're going to party its likely you're going to get thrown out so don't waste the money. Or have a very quiet party.

Answer 4

21 or 18 if you are out of town

I used to work in one, and the rules could bend if the 18+ was from out of state.

Best idea is to call the hotel you wish to stay at.

Answer 5

it is 18+

Answer 6

18 and I think its daft as you can be married at 16 ?some hotels ask for proof of age some don't

Answer 7

Probably 18. Different hotels would have different regulations with this regard.

Answer 8

18 is the minimum legal age

Answer 9

If you have a credit card to secure the room, you could be almost any age. Money talks.
