FAQs
Will I need I.D. and credit card to check in?
You will need some form of identification to check into a hotel, usually a driver’s license, but a state-issued I.D. or passport will work.
You will also need to present a credit card, so the hotel can ensure all charges to your room are paid.
What are the alternatives to Hotels for 18-year-olds?
Don’t see a hotel you like? No worries. Youth hostels and Airbnb are great hotel 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.
Airbnb has an age-friendly policy for 18-year-olds, plus you’ll get an experience with more of a local feel than you will at a hotel.
Is it legal for an 18-year-old to check in to a hotel?
While not all hotels allow 18-year-olds to rent a room because of their own policies, it is legal for 18-year-olds to check in to a hotel.
Why do some 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.
