Try it and let us know what happens in case there's someone else with your position. But I doubt that anyone else has this concern. Listen, a deposit is when you put money down and you get it back when it's over and you haven't skipped out on paying. Enjoy the trip and collect your refund at the end. Okay?
Problem is that many hotels keep the hold on debit cards for up to a week after the stay. If you are looking at $100/day on a 5 night trip, that is quite a bit of cash to have tied away.
One other option is to offer the hotel a cash deposit - most will accept this, and that way you just get your cash back at the end of the trip.
