To check into a hotel, you will need some form of identification. Usually, a driver’s license, a state-issued ID, or a passport will work.

You will also need to present a credit or debit card so the hotel can ensure all charges for your room are paid.

Is it legal for an 18-year-old to check in to a hotel?

Why do most hotels have an age requirement of 21?

Unfortunately, the younger a guest is, the less responsible they tend to be statistically. This has everything to do with hotels managing their risk and liability.

What are the alternatives to Hotels for 18-year-olds?

Didn’t find a hotel you like? No worries. Hostels and Airbnb are great alternatives for 18-year-olds.

Youth hostels are a great budget option. They are usually in attraction-heavy locations and help you save money so you can spend it on food and fun.
