Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an ID or credit card to check in?

Yes, you will be required to produce documents to verify your identity. Most hotels on our list also charge a prepayment fee or a refundable safety deposit, so you should check with the respective hotel to know more.

Why do some hotels not allow 18+ check-ins?

Some states might have strict laws in place that prohibit underage drinking, and since most hotels have their bars and restaurant, they may want to avoid trouble with the law. They may also think that youngsters might behave irresponsibly and disturb the atmosphere there, so they set age limits on check-in.

Most Florida hotels let you check in after 15:00 and common check-out time is before noon but some may also have check-out times at 11:00 so it’s best to check with the reception while booking your stay.

Is it legal for 18-year-olds to check into a hotel in Florida?

It is legal in Florida for 18-year-olds to book into a hotel but the hotel may have policies restricting guests below a certain age to check in.
