Is it possible to book a room with someones card who is under 18? -

me and my girlfriend are going to be traveling and shes 17 and her parents are putting money on her card for stuff. and i was wondering if both the card holder and person booking the room need to be 18

To answer your question, it depends on the hotel. Most hotels will not allow a minor to stay in a room without a parent or legal guardian present due to liability issues. If something happens that would require medical or other emergency care, there would be no one available to give permission. Some of your seedier places will simply look the other way if some one wants to stay in your room with you. So it comes down to how low rent you are willing to go with your accommodations.As an alternative, I would suggest having her parents book the room ahead of time and leave instructions at the front desk for check-in. This way the hotel has emergency contact information and have indemnified themselves against a lawsuit should her parents want to know why the hotel allowed some one over 21 to book a room with a 17 year old girl.The only youth hostel in town (The Green Tortoise) has an age policy prohibiting people under the age of 18 from staying in the dorm rooms, so that s out as well. If I were you, I d have her parents attempt booking a room there first. It s generally a younger international crowd and is situated smack dab in the middle of downtown Seattle. You won t be where all the nightclubs are located, but you will be between two of the hot spots at Pioneer Square and Belltown.
