Will I need a credit card to check into a hotel/motel in the US?
I'm not talking five star hotels. Planning on using mostly Comfort Inns or other similarly priced motels. Will the motel require a credit card when I check in, or do they still accept good old cash?

Hotel/Motels will be glad to accept cash as payment.
You will need a credit card to reserve a room online or over the phone. when you get there you will be asked for your credit card to as security incase you decide to use any of the services offered at the hotel. (movies, phone, room service ect.)
You may be able to give them a cash deposit instead of a credit card, but I would call first.
You can also use a prepaid visa, that probably be the easiest and the safest anyway.

Credit or Debit card. Not many, if any chain motels allow you pay straight cash these days. This is due to the people who pay cash for the room then run up phone bills or trash the room and walk out without paying the damage.

They will accept cash-however, if you plan on reserving a room in advance, a credit card is required. You will also need some sort of picture ID or passport. If you have an idea of where you will be staying, call them in advance and ask what their policies are.

Yes, you can pay cash. You only need a valid credit to reserved a hotel room. But when you arrive, you can pay with cash. Hope you have an enjoy stay in the U.S.

They will ask for a credit card for incidentals. A debit card will work, but remember they will 'authorize' a certain amount (which kind of frteezes that amount even if you pay cash and it will take 4-7 days to unfreeze.

Persons can pay in cash ,
But reservations are held with a credit card .
Advance reservation searches often costs less than walk in ,
Plus some places end up fully booked , no vacancy .

If you do a reservation on the web, you'll have to use a cc to hold the room. Once at the hotel, you should be able to inform them that you want to pay cash and it'll be no problem. However, alot of hotels still want to hold your cc information for incidentals (but not all hotels).

Looks like there are some that will after doing a quick search, expect them to want a cash deposit though. I would not leave this to chance, I would research the hotel in advance.

As long as you have a good ID so they can track you down for stealing the towells and the little soaps and shampoos cash works real well,, Although, I had tried to stay in a Motel in Las Vegas a couple yrs ago,, they didnt take cash,, suprised the heck outta me,
