[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I’ve checked in under other peoples names before[/b]. Haven’t you ever met a friend at a hotel and the reservation is under their name, but you get there first so you check in with your ID and CC on file? Also, if someone is famous enough to need an alias for a hotel room, I would imagine they’re not the one discussing the alias with a random desk clerk. [/quote]

So if I make a reservation for Jane Smith - when I get there they are not going to give me her room surely?[/quote]

It’s a hotel room, not a controlled substance. You need ID and payment, and if you can provide that along with the details of the reservation that’s generally enough. I’ve had girls weekends with friends and gotten there first, so I was the one who checked in, picked up keys and gave a credit card for payment and security even though the reservation was under someone else’s name. I think it was under her husband’s name one time, because he booked it with his travel rewards. DH has booked trips for us and then had work emergencies pop up so he had to come later, and I did the check in. My parents have gifted us trips and booked the trip under their name, my maiden name, and occasionally my married name. It’s never been an issue. Spray case scenario, I think once I showed the confirmation email because someone seemed to have trouble finding a reservation, but they didn’t even ask for it. It’s just not an issue unless you’re actually trying to scoop up someone’s reservation and shut them out of their room and the hotel is booked solid because of a Taylor Swift concert or something.
