Ok, I went to Chicago last week by a car and was supposed bo back in a 2 days.
Finally I got back home after 7 days
I spent 2 nights at EconoLodge then decided to try all those things you all have said on this board.
I went to Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Chicago, showed my credit card and got the room ! ( had a good time too )
Noone asked about ID, about anything ... except room preferences.
That was easy
Thank u ...
