Are minors allowed to stay in a hotel room if their parents book the room?

Question

me and a couple friends (15 years old) hav always wanted to stay down at the shore for spring break or a week during the summer but we dont no if its allowed. so if a parent came with us and booked the room and filled out all the paper work wud we b allowed to stay there by ourselves?

Answer 1

I've worked for a handful of hotels for several years now, and the policy at each hotel was the same. Because of liability, minors are not allowed to stay without a parent or guardian. This is a policy that we have always enforced. One place I worked at was strict enough that the police became involved when it was found out there was no legal adult staying with a group of underage teens.

Answer 2

It considered legal. But i think most hotel policy have people under 18 considered less trustworthy and more likely to cause damage or disruption to other guests. But i think if your parents just check you in at the hotel...it would be fine.

Answer 3

No, someone of legal age has to stay in the room

Answer 4

Yes as long as you have some form of ID. Your parents can put your name on the room which will allow you to check in without them.
