Me either. I stayed in a Hampton Inn once and they never asked how old I was.

Not to my knowledge.

the harder part is finding a hotel that doesn't require a CC....

If it's just ID that's the issue get the hooker to use hers.

Actually, I was denied by a few places for not being 21, while looking for a place in Myrtle beach sometime ago. I think there are in some cases state restrictions, allowing owners to set the age. Why not call ahead? Also, I know that priceline requires you to be 21 to place bids on hotel rooms.

I've gotten a few rooms with just cash, at decent places. I was 16, and dont really look old. I think that to have the best chances go to a not too major chain (not Holiday Inn), and if that doesnt work just go to some crappy place. And remember, hotel prices are really negotiable. At one place I got a room for 70, even though the guy said it would be 120.

Use the back seat of a car like the rest of us did. If she demands a room find a girl who's slightly more open-minded.

ATOT users? More like someone thinks they are getting laid this weekend, but will end up passed out drunk in an empty hotel room.

I rented one when I was 18 with a cc. Something about being a "traveller" allowed the red roof or holliday inn... not sure which one. Just use the "traveller" keyword. I said we were just moving and needed to get out a day early so the ID check wasn't a big issue (it has local address).

Don't go to a franchise, they're less likely to admit you. Go to smaller famliy owned ones.
