Which hotels allow 18-year-olds to check in?

It is recommended to verify the Age Restriction section on the hotel page at Booking.com while booking the hotel.

What are the modes of payment?

The most common mode of payment at any hotel is a Credit Card. Almost all hotels will accept a credit card, but it is always good to ask them before reaching the hotel.
There are very few hotels that will accept cash. Please confirm the same with the hotel before booking.
Almost every hotel will ask you to make a deposit as well. This is for security purposes.

Which ID will be accepted at the hotel?

The most common IDs that are accepted at every hotel are:
Driver’s License
Passport

Please ensure that the name on your ID is same as that on your credit card or a prepaid card, if you are paying via any card.
For any queries, please call the hotel a day before check-in.

Is it legal for an 18-year-old to book a hotel in the United States?

It is absolutely legal for an 18-year-old to book a hotel, but different hotels have different age requirements. Please check the hotel’s page at Booking.com to know about the same.

Why do hotels have an age requirement for check-in?

The specific age requirements are for the security and protection of all the guests at the hotel, including yourself. These requirements are enforced to create a safe environment at the hotel.
